The hope that we won't blow them to smithereens.

But they already knew we could blow them to smithereens in the first place. I would love to know what we are giving them in exchange

They knew that we could, but nobody made it clear to them that we would.

Plus I think we are exercising some leverage through China. Not many people realize it, but China is now totally dependent on the US Navy to secure their oil supply line from the Middle East. Without that, their economy craters and they starve to death.

I think Trump is finally applying leverage to foreign affairs. The days of "leading from defeat and apology" are over. For the best.

They knew we could do it. But until 15 months ago, there wasnt a backbone in office who would do it. Now there is. And Trump also successfully got China to stiffen the sanctions.

Until a few years ago, the solution was relatively easy. But noone in the past 24 years would do what it took. Obama left the NK situation where it wouldnt be easy for Trump (not nearly as easy as if was for the previous 3 presidents), yet Trump appears to be pulling it off.

May be as simple as relief from the sanctions and blockade. So, really not “giving” them anything.

And short of decapping fatboy, what else is there we can do? Ignore them and hope for the best?

Personally, I think this Admin is playing this very well.

Trump is on the verge of removing nukes from noko and the dems still have their hair on fire about a porn star.

If President Trump closes this deal, the dems might as well save themselves the time and money, and not even run anyone in 2020.

China likely shown Him the ghost of Christmas past moment. There is a world out there most of NK didn't know existed and how just acting civil can change the path to destructionThey were on. Trump being firm with China likely woke Them up.

I agree. As much as I dislike Trump as a person...I give him cudos on his foreign policy decisions thus far. Nice to see us stop being doormats on the world stage and start asserting ourselves again.

They haven't held a test since last September, when the Punggye-ri site collapsed after their largest test. Basically, the Norks accidentally blew up their own facility and probably some of their tech people with it, so Kim's trying to play a really bad hand into some cash to build a new one:

What we probably gave them were a couple of very close ‘sonar pings’ on their third world subs, a solid view of what a hundred cruise and stand off missles can do and a lecture on how far off the deck their ‘intercontinental’ ballistic missles would get. Yeah, that ought to get it done. Not to mention a president that would carry it out.
As for who got it done, history will give credit where credit is due. The majority of sane individuals know RR ended the Cold War even though the left tries to this day to credit Gorbachev.

If Trump gives them any cash it is over for him. He won’t do it. Period.

There's a reason that underground facility "accidentally" collapsed when Trump was president, and didnt under Obama.
