I wouldn't be surprised if NK is playing Trump.

Why would NK suddenly give up its nuclear program? Something here stinks. NK and Trump don’t even have a time and place for a meeting, and there’s no framework for discussion.

1. Of course they are

2. With China's help...

China is like a surrogate parent to the little man.

4. You bet

3. Trump is like the kid in school who walks around with 'Kick Me' on his back.

He is a con man but an easy mark at the same time for any who flatter him and play to his inflated, yet very fragile ego.

5. After what happened in Libya

the Kim regime will never give up their nukes. They view them as a trump card against a regime change attempt.

North Korea's behavior here is in line with their past playbook: act badly, agree to talk about it, promise not to act badly anymore in exchange for concessions, wait a while then repeat.

Of course they will play Trump, and of course the willfully-ignorant dotard narcissist will fall for it.

6. It's not giving up its nuclear program. Anyone who thinks otherwise is fooling themselves.

7. I feel China is in the mix but especially

Russia. I think Putin can promise Kim many things. As Trump says, "We'll see what happens. We'll see." I don't think it will be good for Trump and , unfortunately, it won't be good for the rest of us either.
