I feel bad for having only reluctantly predicted a year ago that Trump will solve the North Korea problem. It became clear a while ago but is extra super clear now that the solving is underway and probably not far off to finality.

past administrations have clearly espoused a policy of "containment", which is a fancy word for 'kick the can down the road'. Whenever you have that kind of situation, you assume that there will be an inevitable point where the can can't be kicked any further. I wouldn't say it was a hugely bold prediction to guess that point would happen right around now.

I heard recently that NoKo will be completely out of cash, like literally dead broke, by October of this year. They're kinda forced to the table, whether they like it or not. This also means that America essentially holds all the cards. So I'm not gonna give Trump a whole lot of credit for being a great diplomat here.

The real wildcard that Trump has to worry about, is Kim. He's clearly a maniac.

You know, people think that WW2 was fought to save the Jews from extermination. That's really not the case. It wasn't even widely known that Hitler was killing Jews until the war was practically over. Hitler accelerated the exterminations when it became clear that he was losing the war. He diverted more resources to destruction, rather than resupply his army and make strategic decisions toward a goal of victory. That's fucked up.

If Kim is from the same maniacal mold, then any diplomacy is really moot. He obviously doesn't care about his own people. He obviously doesn't care about having productive relationships with the rest of the world. He could just be building the biggest arsenal he can for the simple purpose of mayhem. In which case the joke is on Trump. Every second spent attempting diplomacy is just allowing Kim to gear up for greater mayhem.

It's all Trump. And his administration. Trust me, I've been following this very closely. If this was any of the last three administrations, China would still be playing defense for NK, NK would still be getting lots of imports, and the Kim regime would be getting stronger.

Trump changed everything. His strategy and tactics have been fucking amazing to watch.
