North Korea’s New Promises on Weapons Stop Short of Denuclearization

(NYT)

It doesn't matter. The Korean peninsula is better than denuclearized, it is "detensionized".

At the annual DPRK military review ICBM's were, for the first time, absent. South Korean president Moon Jae-in was in Pyongyang yesterday and was greeted by Kim Jong-un with a man hug. The two rode together in an open car smiling and waving to crowds in a motorcade.

Kim need not denuclearize; his nukes pose no threat. There has been a 180 degree gestalt shift on the Korean peninsula and the person most responsible for it is Donald Trump.
