My hopes for the summit: if the US and DPRK can get into a position that reassures both leaders to the point where they are unlikely to blunder into war anytime soon, then I'll call it a success. It's a low bar, but I'll take it.

The US has managed to have productive (or at the very least, non-war) interactions with dictators in the past, for better and worse. I would take that over a war, personally.
I mean, most dictators tend to be evil to their own people. Saying "I don't think we should blunder into a war with them, and if this keeps us from doing that, I'll be OK with that" should not be a hugely controversial statement. It's not an endorsement of Kim or Trump.
