yeah, pretty stupid going there. somewhere I remember hearing that we would not stop holding our exercises regardless of how things progressed, but this is a show of bad faith on US / SK's part. Oh well ...

Kim Jong Un makes history; crosses border for summit with Moon(...) Kim's news agency said that the leader would "open-heartedly" discuss with Moon "all the issues arising in improving inter-Korean relations and achieving peace, prosperity and reunification of the Korean peninsula" in a "historic" summit. It's the first time one of the ruling Kim leaders has crossed over to the southern side of the Demilitarized Zone since the Korean War ended in 1953. The greeting of the two leaders was planned to the last detail. Thousands of journalists were kept in a huge conference center well away from the summit, except for a small group of tightly-controlled pool reporters at the border. Moon stood near the Koreas' dividing line, moving forward the moment he glimpsed Kim appearing in front of a building on the northern side. They shook hands with the border line between them. Moon then invited Kim to cross into the South; Kim invited Moon into the North, and they then took a ceremonial photo facing the North and then another photo facing the South. (...)

honest answer: I don't know. He's made it plain that he will not telegraph exactly what he intends to do or how on matters. He has however stated his goals. I trust that he is working on achieving those goals. So far, so good. WW III has not started as has been the warning of his detractors. We are seeing things happen that have never happened before, things thought to never have been possible. China is actually cooperating and NK is responding positively. Have to see how it plays out.

Trump has gone into "I know you are but what am I" mode with this guy. If all of that crap is truly coming from an equal state of IQ and ego, we're probably screwed. But if it isn't, it's brilliant. Think about it. I have absolutely no idea what's going to happen. I'm just glad that I'm inside a blast radius.

China can likely accommodate an aggressive neighbour as well as a compliant one. In the latter, it's one less problem to worry about. Let's just say they're not exactly stupid, and are aware of US policy. NK's precondition to denuclearization is the removal of US troops from SK. Like that's going to happen... Yep. We should bring everyone home. However, none of our previous administrations got anywhere so what makes them any different? Not gonna happen. What makes them any different? Who's them? And different about what? PS: Apparently NK is willing to drop the precondition.
