This is the rather amazing and highly unusual film produced by the DPRK about Kim Jong Un’s summit meeting with President Trump.

Yes, I know the meeting is being trashed by many Democrats and national security experts. But, hey, it’s a start – and it’s a lot better than the alternative. I appreciated the comments below from former CIA analyst Robert Carlin to David Ignatius in the Washington Post.

Robert Carlin, a veteran CIA and State Department analyst of North Korea, argues that worrying about having the big guys’ get-together first “is a little silly.” For decades, he explained in an email, the United States has known it needed to engage the North Korean leader directly to make any progress. “Okay, we got to the leader and, in effect, established a floor for working-level talks. . . . That’s not a bad thing,” Carlin noted. The goal now “should be to nurture this rather than crush it through constant carping.”

What do we have to lose?
