Kim just found a weak-minded, impulsive, and petty man-child. And baited him.

I think this underestimates the North Korean approach. The past year has been provocation to see what we'd do and from a clear-eyed foreign policy perspective, the answer has been "nothing." North Korea then met with South Korea without any involvement from us - I think that's a new thing under the sun, too.

North Korea had nothing to lose from telling the South Koreans "hey, we'd love to meet with the US as equals" and South Korea has nothing to lose from passing along the message. The meeting doesn't even have to happen now - Trump could walk it back for any reason whatsoever and now we're the problem.

Fundamentally, North Korea has been exploring just how dire our foreign policy situation truly is. And, because our foreign policy situation is dictated by Fox & Friends, North Korea has been slotted into the hole that used to be filled by the USSR.

North Korea had nothing to lose and everything to gain so why not get invited to the White House?

I mean, what if we agreed?
