With an anemic $1B GDP--comparable to that of
Cleveland--N. Korea's impoverished economy is simply unable to absorb
travel and hotel expenses associated with the Trump-KJU summit in
Singapore on June 12th. (Any wonder NOKO people are subsisting on
grass soup and inedible promises of a nuclear arsenal?) Proof
positive that draconian US-backed sanctions against NOKO are working.
Proof also that Trump has the upperhand in these "negotiations".
I believe negotiators call that "leverage".
The NOKO rat is cornered, and it appears that
not even China is able--or, more importantly, willing--to bail him
out. If NOKO fails to demonstrably denuclearize, the US will have
made a manifestly good faith effort to reach an acceptable agreement,
failing which KJU and his leftist supporters in the US will have
precipitated the "fire and fury" Trump has wisely pledged
in the absence of an acceptable agreement.
