Expectations?

Don't expect much....but maybe it can be the start of something other than the history of blackmail for goodies that has been going on for years.

Blackmail is exactly what it has been.

Yeah, my criteria for a "win" here is that NK begins (really) dismantling their nuclear program under US supervision without getting a paycheck for it.

Why would NK do that? Thats not fair to trump. NK has behaved pretty much the sane over thr past 50 years. It hasnt mattered much who is the US POTUS.

I think NK now envisions themselves as one of the big boys, ready to sit at the adult table. No longer an irritating, whiny kid trying to get the parents attention. As a legitimate holder of nukes he feels he now garners attention and respect and I expect he's looking to work a deal with the US like Russia and China have.

Hopefully, getting him out of NK will allow him to see what a shithole he's created vs the rest of the world.

He went to college in Switzerland. I'm pretty sure he's fine with ruling in hell.
