#1 Carefully storing away the components until the new site is set up?

Still, exciting that they are backing down so far even before negotiations with President Trump’s team have begun.

#2 I thought they had already blew the shit out of their test site by mistake last test, making it useless.

#4 Even if they're just making a virtue out of necessity, I'm hopeful. This sort of thing has never happened before.

#6 #2 most definitely, but also #4.

I think Trump and Pudge kinda sorta bonded during that period when they were insulting each other. It's a guy thing.

For Pudge, this can be a big opportunity. He gets to stay in power, he remains a hero of the people in current NKor mythology and he gets access to more fine cognac and other western goods.

Prediction: there will be a strict inspection regime but it will be masked by security guarantees and lots of happy talk about opening up NKor to the modern world. But we've seen happy talk and economic carrots before, you say. Yes, but never accompanied by threats of nuclear destruction and not from someone who would walk away from a bad deal.
