What I do know is that in the geopolitical arena there are a lot of intangibles and small things that can make big differences in the long run. What you're talking about are big changes that would occur, but that's not where the real change happens. Those small things and the intangibles work in the background and eventually lead to larger things. They were discussing a US diplomatic presence in Pyongyang. Would that not be a rather large thing? That doesn't happen without lots of smaller things changing in the background.
I'm very big into foreign policy and I din't see how this helps Kim in the long run. Again, he has gained no new allies. The way he, and his nation, are viewed by the rest of the world has not changed. The argument about Trump being a bad, and/or widely derided, POTUS rather works against this argument. Trump has no legitimacy to many, his meeting with Kim doesn't affect Kim in a positive way. As far as a diplomatic presence, I'll discuss it when it happens.

LOL, "they".

In order to avoid embarrassment you should probably leave everyone alone. Just a bit of friendly advice.
