North Korea meeting

The agreement from the meeting is a small step and a beginning to what could be a change in North Korea’s relationship with the rest of the world.  Promises made by North Korea may be promises kept.   As former President Reagan and Trump have stated, “trust but verify”.  We will see what the future has to offer.  But North Korea may have realized that any use of a nuclear weapon against any country would have made their country a nuclear wasteland.  

They cannot feed their population, but have no problem feeding their military with weapons.   What we have to look for is how the hardliners in the North Korea will respond to any agreement, especially if it involves denuclearization and any movement of troops and equipment from the North/South border.  How much power will Kim have when he returns and will there be a military coup?  The military wants to keep what they have to ensure their jobs and stature in the country.  Power and who has it and who can keep it is what we have to watch.   We know Kim has removed opposition to the point where they have never been seem again.   The waiting game is on.  The ball is in Kim’s court.  Will he follow through with what he signed and promise?
