      On the question of whether the "charm offensive" is working, @dandrezner as always is very balanced:https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/posteverything/wp/2018/02/12/is-north-korea-really-winning-the-soft-power-olympics/?utm_term=.ad55679ef5e2 …

      One point I'd underscore is "charm offensive" isn't aimed at Americans, but at South Koreans. Which is why surveying Korean press & experts is important.

          Many Americans are unaware that the US, especially under Trump and Pence is not viewed from outside as the beacon of democracy but just another asshole nation - not nearly as bad as NK, but not loved or respected. And Pence played right into that perception.
