Let´s be brutally honest here. If "Little Rocket Man" decides to free everyone incarcerated in the North Korean Gulag, permits more family reunions, and opens up his country to international tourism, nobody - that´s nobody - will give a damn about his regime being "authoritarian". Nobody, that is, except the usual professional mourners (in Sweden that would be the Greens on the left and the Liberals on the right).
I hope Trump´s "Amerikan gangster regime" convinces Chairman Kim to take the steps above. BTW, note the trollish North Korean response to Mike Pompeo by calling him a "gangster". Pompeo is, of course, an Italian-American...
I think somebody should check if Chairman Kim loves Quentin Tarantino films, or even if he speaks English! Didn´t he use to live at Malta as an even younger man? I´m 99% convinced he is trolling us as we speak.
But why? Because of geopolitics? A united Korea under the Chinese nuclear umbrella makes sense, competing with (but not actually attacking) the United States. Is there anything, anything at all, Trump and the Americans (Italian or otherwise) have to win on such an arrangement?
Yes, there is. The hills of North Korea are not only the home of the famed East Asian unicorn. They are also rumored to have YUGE, AMAZING deposits of rare earth minerals. And Kim´s DPRK *is* more politically stable than Afghanistan or the Congo.
We can´t live withour our I-phones. Ultimately, this fact might enable Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un to create peace in Korea.
Amazing.
Then, we´ll all get radiation sickness from our I-phones. But that, as they say, is a very different black swan...
