      The question as always is whether Trump has the personnel in place to actually effectuate this initiative beyond symbolism. Bolton and Pompeo will no doubt continue to sabotage

          Yes, great achievement but what are we (the West) getting in return for the photo op? And who is doing the follow through consistent with a denuclearization strategy?

          We have their signature for a "complete denucleralization of the Korean peninsula." That's simple and clear. They cannot play around that one.

          It looks like the answer is still no. Which is why he has to engage in unconventional, asymmetrical diplomacy. Had he tried to set this up via normal channels, it would never have happened. He used twitter to circumnavigate the roadblocks. Again, a masterstroke.

          I think it has more to do with China, personally. But, I do agree on them. Better than the rhetoric of wiping Seoul off the map,tho. Plus, Trump is actually doing things the way South Korea wants. It's great we have a president trying new things

          The question as always is what is our goal given that our stated goal of denuclearization is not going to happen absent credibility that we frittered away a long time ago.

          Bolton has been "humbled" drastically after the second meeting. Bolton asked for everything he wanted: any weapon, including bio and non nuclear missiles... When that was rejected, NK turned away to see Putin. In interview Bolton said: ok ok we focus on denucleralization...

          I believe the second meeting was necessary to confront NK on what they did to Otto Wambrier. We had to do it. Now they know this is unacceptable going forward.

          Trump has said that he likes to have 2 or more perspectives (that Both Sides-ist) in the room when determining a course of action. Hawks & doves. He’s also said that Bolton is a hawk (duh, Donald) so I don’t think he’s ignorant to our fears. It certainly adds to Unpredictability.
