Yes, 100%.

First off, do not legitimize them. That’s one of the stupidest things that could be done. Second, Trump should have absolutely no direct talks with Un. He’s too easily manipulated. The Chinese and Russians will be there so it is vital we have experienced individuals go. This admin has none of that. The entire thing puts the US at a disadvantage. Un should be heading to DC, not the other way around. It needs to be 100% public as well.

A solution would be to either sanction it until death or to sign a similar agreement that the US made with Cuba that we agree not to invade them in exchange for them to cut their nuclear program. Keep in mind the latter was largely a compromise after the US failed in the Bay of Pigs invasion. So the latter would not be preferable.

Would it really be that much of concession to say that North Korea is a sovereign state and that its people aren't equal to Al Qaida?

I mean, it would be worth a shot to see if North Korea changes if they are met with a minimum amount of respect that they haven't received at any point yet. Offering respect won't cost the USA anything.

If it were by the Obama, Bush Jr, Clinton, Bush Sr, Reagan, and most other administrations -sure. Not this one. They want the SK American bases gone.
