I'd be more inclined to lend credence to this "legitimizing Kim" argument if there was anything of substance they, or anyone, could point to as proof. N. Korea is still a pariah nation, still under sanctions, has the same "allies" (really their allies see them as a useful idiot) and the same foes.
Everyone has a political agenda, because everything is politics. That being said, these wonks come from across the political spectrum and they're all saying the same thing. Though, admittedly, one of the other things they have in common is a general disdain for the way the Trump administration handles foreign policy, so that does introduce some bias. Trump's crippling of our foreign services has made him quite a few enemies in the field.
