It's probably my own Twitter bubble speaking but I see literally no informed voices who seem to think that DPRK is actually interested in truly disarming. So what's the game plan? Is it negotiating on sanctions? Is it stalling to defuse tensions in that time-honored DPRK way?
Is it flexing some kind of cultural muscle, getting the attention and respect they think they deserve, by saying a few magic words to an American president very eager to hear them? I don't know.
What I do know is, taking seriously the idea that they'd spend SIX DECADES building up the infrastructure necessary to have nukes, and then just give it up relatively cheaply... that's the bizarro idea. Is it impossible? I don't know. But it's bizarro.

Playing the game of "if I were a North Korean" — if I were KJU, I'd be playing the US for time. Endless ways for discussions to get bogged down indefinitely.
If we take the "we don't need to test anymore" rhetoric seriously, they seem feel their missiles and warheads are adequate enough to deter. But they probably lack quantity. So slow everything down for several months or a year. Roll out a real stockpile.
Get things to the point where the US intelligence and military community can no longer whatsoever maintain the delusion that the US homeland wouldn't just get their hair mussed in some kind of "exchange."

I think Putin told NK to use this headline...They are all in his pocket. He most definitely is saying, "do this and I will take care of Trump" and get what NK wants out of US. Making of another autocrat. Donald's ego loves that idea, I'm sure.
I'm not sure either but am very interested in hearing the latest Wonk hottakes
Juche states that they demand complete equality from all other nations. The nuclear scenario is how Kim achieved that equality. It's now about the deal.
