I've had a very unusual, for me, reaction to Trump's efforts with Korea: a teary upwelling of happiness for the Korean people, and the world. The north Koreans, especially, have suffered from these decades of isolation from their brethren, and the world. I sympathize with Kim's dilemma: the cult of personality can't work so well, anymore, but how to back out of a backward-looking worldview that stifles his people. He has to do it to join the world productively; but, the resultant upheaval of society (like plopping someone from the middle ages into modern-day NY city) threatens to be ruinous. Yeah, between a rock and a hard place...
