Truman Talk? Not an Exit, More Orchestrated Dance
What the US Intelligence Says
According to the Defence Intelligence Agency, Lieutenant General Robert Ashley shot straight to Fox News and said the big bearded monarch Kim Jong‑Un is muddling about his nuclear plans—no sign yet that he’s ready to press the “demilitarize” button.
Recap of the February Bumpy Road
When Kim and ex‑President Donald Trump met in Vietnam, they’d been hoping for a high‑flier summit. Unfortunately, the two giants couldn’t cross the line between:
- US demands: “No more nukes, or we’ll unleash the sanctions.”
- North Korea demands: “Help us vacate the sanctions, please.”
Result? The summit folded faster than a bad pancake.
Trump’s Upcoming South Korea Trip
The former president is rolling into South Korea this weekend, bringing among his bout of diplomatic prowess a “talk‑renew” letter to Kim that may or may not revive stalled talks.
He’s set to lock arms with South Korean President Moon Jae‑in after a G20 apology (or cheers?) in Japan.
Secretary Pompeo’s Hopes
Meanwhile, Mike Pompeo the US Secretary of State pipes up on a hopeful note: he thinks Trump’s letter could actually reconnect the halted dialogue. Think of it as a “click” for a too‑hard‑to‑read e‑mail mystery.
Witty Take
Kim’s “no‑intention-to-denuclearize” stance keeps the world guessing—like a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside a political onion. Until the big boss says “Yes, it’s safe,” the PAM (political action machine) will likely keep knocking.
