Anyone else highly suspicious of NK's change of heart/attitude? http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-43921385
Leopards don't change their spots. Neither do dictatorships. Won't be surprised to see this  happening in the future.

Wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him. I think he likes to wear sheep's clothing for us.

Well it seems that their test site has collapsed.. They probably don't have the resources to build another one for many years.. So they are finished with testing anyways.
But all sides can score points here so everybody is happy, nobody loses face. Probably the NK people know nothing about this, KJU will get a nice back hander, he might pass some on to his people, they will be happy with their leader, Trump says he won, Moon Jai-In says he brokered the deal. It's just standard politics.
A good outcome will be that the NK people get some food and a little less fear.. It would take quite some time, a generation maybe to make big change.

Sounds like they're prepping for a good story. The more they rejoice over the wonderful peace deal now, the better they can exploit the huge outrage, when it eventually fails. Press and politics in the same boat, for once...

This is really just so that things can stay the same, while they change.
In reality, nobody wants to change anything at the current status-quo.
China, NK, SK, the US - they're all happy with a dictator in the North and a dodgy democracy in the South and some Swiss figures walking around in the house on the border-line.
The people? They're only accessories.

Winter Olympics. I think its a very small change of heart. Baby steps here, but the first steps have been taken.
You have to give Trump some credit for this, believe it or not. Nothing of significance has been agreed upon, but the act itself is more significant than what any president has ever done. Like it or not, thats a fact.
