  1. Sanctions, sanctions, sanctions! We hear a lot ABOUT sanctions, without ever hearing the sanctions THEMSELVES. Kim took a question from a US journalist! This is pretty big: hearing Kim speak dimensionalizes him, changing the casual perception of him, in ways characteristic of the listener. It makes him less demonic and more human, which translates into "consideration" for his viewpoints. I makes it harder to WANT to hurt him.
