Holy crap. We most certainly are not. What's changed besides nothing? The way I see it here's where it stands:
1. There's no way Kim's ever coming close to de-nuclearization.
2. Even if he claimed he was it would almost surely be unverifiable. They've been building underground bunkers all over the country to hide all the weapons for decades.
3. His conventional weapons and massive army pose a huge threat anyway.
4. Even if none of the above were true, and the did de-nuclearize, and we opened up trade etc, all we've done is to let him use his nuclear weapons to strong arm us into giving one of the worlds worst dictators a complete pass on all of his human rights violations.
Even the BEST possible pipe dream case is huge looser for us and the world and a win win for Kim. Lucky for Trump his followers won't look past the photo-ops and will be calling for a fucking Nobel Piece prize.

I seem to recall a recent past president, and a country called Cuba, in which we gave them everything they wanted, and demanded nothing in return.
