Kim Jong Un crosses DMZ to meet Moon Jae-In for historic meeting

I'm not really blaming this on Dennis Rodman.  But I do think our characterization of what he was doing/saying based on what's happening now, probably had him closer to reality than most of us arm chair foreign policy experts.  And it's also possible Rodman did have some impact on Un's behavior.

Trust me, I'm in no way thrilled at the idea Dennis Rodman might have had more global political insight than I did.  But sometimes you have to tip your cap to someone.

For sure I'd agree with you on that. It's a bizarre timeline we're living in when Dennis Rodman and Donald Trump are major players in brokering peace!

I saw this report this morning on MSNBC. I think that it is an important first step toward SE Asia peace but North Korea is worth keeping an eye on just to make sure that it isn't a trick.

Just out of interest what do you think the 'trick' would be?

Getting the world's greatest negotiator to pull out all US troops and materiel out of Korea in return for no longer using a collapsed bunker to test nukes

That's the most likely result of the Trump talks.
