#1 The stage is being set for South Korea to send ~~danegeld~~ aid to North Korea once again, thus rendering obsolete the nominally tightened sanctions.

The new US administration declared an end to strategic patience.

Kim Jong Un made the strategic decision to ignore the Trump administration's rhetoric and respond with provocative missile tests and a hydrogen bomb detonation.

Now it looks like KJU made the right decision and will we rewarded generously. This will have global consequences, all of them bad for the West.

Maybe the election of Trump was nothing more than Western civilization's final dead cat bounce.

If that happens, POTUS may decide some troop level cutbacks are in order.

#3 If I were South Korea I'd pay them off so they don't screw with the games.

I'd also be wondering about the ramifications of defecting athletes.

#4 Media reports indicate the meeting was arranged by the Americans, thus, if true, they are managing the eventual outcome.

No doubt it's a ploy by NK, I look for missile tests during the Olympics. There has been reported activity of new launch sites being developed by NK.

#5 I'd also be wondering about the ramifications of defecting athletes.

Likely family, friends and pets are being held hostage as security. (assuming there are pets that haven't been eaten)

#7 Tell me again why North Korea sent a missile into one of their own cities?
