Now he is stymied. He desperately is doing back channel chatter to hope to reach some accommodation that will let him negotiate to keep some nukes <for defensive reasons>. Sorry, their program is outlawed by the world, that is why there are sanctions with a 15-0 vote by UN Security Council. He will be made to back down, dismantle their nuke program, and the world will be a safer place. (IMHO). It may take some time, but we have been watching him and his family play this game for the last 64 years. If he gives up he may keep some FACE (the most important element in Korean and Asian culture) and even live, but with any false steps, it won't fly. We'll see.

I can definitely see the logic in most of what you are bringing forth marsean. But I do have
lingering thoughts as to what could happen next. Firstly Trump gave his fire and fury remarks witch brought alarm to many. That was ok with me however. When he then said maybe my remarks weren't strong enough it seemed to me he was expressing frustration.
Then the short fat one backed away from Guam attack and said the ball is in the U S court for the next move. So I wonder with the scheduled U S and So Korea military exercise
next week that NK strongly opposes what will this set off. I see another week of high tensions up coming.
