Haven't heard of any rockets getting shot over the peninsula into the pacific in some time. How things go from here, who knows. But I do prefer them not testing delivery systems. I truly believe these meetings aggrandize Kim in NK and make for good propaganda, but I would be lying if I said that actually matters to me. I really don't care all that much.
When Daddy gets up there and proclaims to be the penultimate negotiator though, of coarse people are going to say he's failed when he walks away empty handed. The penultimate negotiator would have gotten that thing signed right there. He's not what he claims and thats what many, myself included, immediately attack. The man is a wholesale POS, no matter what he does he can't change that fact. He is his own greatest enemy.
This all falls back on my old argument here that I care more about what Trump does than what he says. I appreciate that he is trying something different with North Korea and it's very possible that his walking away gets some results. A different angle to view this at is that the US attempted a diplomatic solution and North Korea was not responsive. How could that hurt as far as maintaining a coalition ready to impose sanctions on North Korea?
Getting anything done with North Korea is going to be a long, hard, slog. If the end result is a permanent peace treaty and a denuclearized North Korea it will all be worth it.
