I think, unfortunately, all of this is just a show put on by NK because and
Iran has paid them to do it. In the first week of May lifting US sanctions off
Iran has to be renewed and Trump was 99% expected not to renew lifting those
sanctions (a process started by Obama). Now by making this move NK is going to
make US look like an unreliable peacemaker if Trump decides not to extend
sanctions lifting off Iran.

It all becomes obvious now. I told people for years that Kim Jong Un wouldn't
have ever built his nuclear arsenal if the entire first world hadn't believed
he was stupid. However, only recently I (and others) have been starting to
think about the long term- if the two Koreas manage to build a lasting peace
what does that make Kim Jong Un? Literally the greatest leader North Korea has
ever had. It will also be interesting to see how far modernization goes in
North Korea. Will he actually address his human rights issues or will nothing
really change?
