1.) Komrade Kim & President Trump will likely come to some sort of agreement and or "framework" that will literally mean radically different things to both men and yet allow each of them to claim "victory" in the "negotiations".
2.) Unless of course, Kim "plays it straight" with the usual two and one half hour long denunciation of US Imperialism solely designed to drive Trump out of the room in a screeching fury. I doubt this scenario but its the line of least resistance for NK and it does quickly prove to Kim's Patrons in Peking that nobody can negotiate with Trump in good faith and expect anything.
3.) So barring #2, both men will be screeching "victory" to their respective bases on Wednesday, will Trump's tweetstorm coming long and loud, designed solely to permit his "base" to participate vicariously in another one of his amazing unexpected super duper triumphs.
4.) That having been said, we can expect on Thursday, for NK to retain its nukes indefinitely regardless of any solemn promises they make tomorrow or Wednesday and we can expect Korea to remain divided and fearful for decades to come. Those are the facts that Trump & his Base will shout down or ignore starting ...now.
5.) Its a little more difficult to assess what harm these negotiations will do to our alliance structure in the region, but here we are at the mercy Trump's whims and right now he seems hell bent on the praise and admiration almost any agreement however harmful or innocuous it may be...
Shit Neville Chamberlain & Premier Deladier were less desperate for a "win" at Munich....
