TO EVERYONE ARGUING TRUMP SHOULDN'T TALK TO NORTH KOREA: If getting Kim to the table isn't the point of sanctions, and war's a bad idea, what's the strategy? No one capitulates. Ever. But sometimes in talks they give something to get something. If there's no good deal, walk away.
A little left to prove (nuke in nose cone), but otherwise I agree. Still, how does saying no to talks improve the situation?

1. If our minimal condition for a deal really is that NK denuclearize, it is a waste of time at best. 2. I am not opposed to lower level talks, but a presidential meeting is worth a lot to them and not something to be traded easily.

1) That shouldn't be our minimal condition. 2) I don't share this concern that a presidential meeting is a huge accomplishment. Yes, I know Kim wants it. But if the meeting doesn't yield anything then it's not a big deal. POTUS meets with tons of people every year.

it is to Kim and on the global stage it matters.
