- “Kim is not inviting Trump so that he can surrender North Korea’s weapons,” Jeffrey Lewis, a Korea expert at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies, wrote on Twitter. “Kim is inviting Trump to demonstrate that his investment in nuclear and missile capabilities has forced the United States to treat him as an equal.”

Regarding 5: I really wonder what the States will look like in 5 years time. Or 10. Not like, "will it be a Fallout 4 wasteland", but the mindset of the people and how the rest of the world views them. Interesting read too - Initially when I heard about the upcoming talks I thought "yay!" - but after reading this I have tempered it with "oh dear".

Not only has Kim Jong-un already scored major points by getting this talk, but Trump will probably be desperate to score any "win" to prove positively that he's some hot-shit deal-maker. I just feel like the world is gonna get hosed because of Trump's vanity. Not the first time I've felt this.
