Is there a strategic reason for Trump trying to soften relations with the DPRK? Only reason I can think of is trying to get the DPRK to support a us war against China, but I doubt they would support that so idk what he is thinking

Being confronted with something as stupid and shallow as Trump is kinda terrifying, in its own way. But the reality is that sometimes a pen is just a pen.

I remember him reaching the right time of day for a stopped clock last time he did a diplomacy with the DPRK it was something like "Doing diplomacy with other countries is a very normal thing and things won't improve by not talking".

Yea that's all there is to it. He loves deals and he views himself as a master deal maker.

It's a perfect deal in his eyes. He gets to look strong dealing with an enemy of America and he makes a deal no other president could/would make.

I think this is the reason. Plus it upsets libs when he shakes Kim's hand so its a double win

[-] Balefirex@hexbear.net 38 points 4 weeks ago

only "logical" reason I can think of is aggressive posturing so SK makes concessions

[-] KatGirl@hexbear.net 19 points 4 weeks ago

Concessions to who? Like getting SK to be more of a dog to the USA than it already is?

The DPRK has been building stronger ties with Russia in the past years, including military. Maybe they'll try to break that up by offering them better deals, in the goal of weakening Russia.

i honestly think it's just his contrarian impulse. it leads to like one good thing out of every ten thousand so in between accelerating trans genocide and building resort hotels in Gaza he'll also talk about developing relations with North Korea.

Lots of people don't know this but Kim Jong Un gave me just right lil wink. So - I love him - I love him.
