Thanks to o’bamski and hildabeast laying the ground work. That’ll be the spin.
No. We are witnessing Kim buying time, and trying to gain some cash and advantages by sweet-talking the West, after threatening them. Blowing hot and cold is a time-honored tradition for the Kims, and all dictators.
If you say the Lord blew up his nuclear mountain, your right !
That would be my take.
Trust a commie at your own risk.
Don't forget the choo-choo ride that Kim took to Beijing in March. He got his orders, and he is now following them.
“o’bamski” ROFL that’s a good one

Ran out of money. Country on verge of revolt.
Wait till they see what life is like in South Korea.

Of course you don't, idiot. You don't read the Q threads.
This article = Just more drivel shat out to deprive The Donald of credit.

Not likely, pilgrim!

China would not side with NK. The US is too much of an economic cash cow to lose on stupidity.
We will stand by the side and watch him destroy you and what is left of your rule.
The Russians are waiting to invade also.
Knock your war rhetoric off or get wrecked.
Kim jung un is definitely following the orders of china... but he might have suffered a massive nuclear failure and china may ordered him to be less confrontational so the trade war goes better...
i hope our foreign intelligence is better than what we have had in the past.
Don’t forget this guy shoots people with anti-aircraft guns
Compared to negotiating with the Mob, As Trump had to do for decades to get his buildings built, Kim is going to be a cakewalk.
Much higher profile to be sure, but probably one of the easiest negotiations Trump has had in his life.

“choo-choo ride that Kim took to Beijing in March. He got his orders, and he is now following them.”
That’s exactly why I think this is real ... and I think Trump’s airplane ride there before Kim’s choo-choo ride (sorry, I found that funny :-) ) laid the groundwork for said choo-choo ride.
What I think we will see is NK turn into a China-like economy. Kim will remain in power. The North will be open for business. With work and food on the table, the South won’t have to house a massive influx of northern defectors. China will have its buffer zone from South Korea, and there won’t be a threat of nuclear weapons in the hands of the Kim regime.
I doubt reunification will happen. China isn’t going to want a nation allied with the USA right on its border. I’m *not* saying that we should bend to China’s whims, but I think seeing NK at least embrace a “somewhat” capitalist economy like China, ending the war with the South, and losing its nuclear weapons is a pretty good deal for all parties involved.
When the gates open, and Norks can go freely to the south, then, I might trust it more...meanwhile, it may just be a “means to an end” by Rocket boy.
The proof is in the pudding...
