Trump unleashed a rant yesterday shitting on South Korea and praising North Korea.
They're not lacking for attention.

Oh I’m not doubting that. I be forgetting that’s an actual place half the time and then I’m like “oh, wait, there needs to be a North Korea if there’s a South Korea”

I still remember Trump's NK visit as a moment it seemed he truly would be a candidate who would cut through all the 'c***'. He just seemed to turn up to NK one day and they took a bunch of pictures stepping over that border line like it was nothing. For decades it had been this all important thing, this line that meant the world, and Trump was there treating it - and getting NK's leader to treat it - like just a step. The two of them were laughing and goofing around.
It didn't shake out like that. But it was a nice moment.

It was the moment Trump gave North Korea its biggest win on the international stage.

Trump saluting the North Korean general is the part I remember the most. I am sure they’re still putting that one into their state propaganda to this day.

We're in the timeline where even North Korea is 100x more rational and measured than the United States.

If 2026 was a new season of our TV show, would it so far be peak writing or abysmal dogshit?

Critics score: dogshit
Audience score: peak
Or vice versa, but they definitely aren't agreeing

It's interesting that South Korea straight up called out that it was a member of the countries intelligence service and a soldier doing it.
It hasn't been that long though since \[Yoon Suk Yeol ordered drone incursions\](https://www.dw.com/en/did-south-koreas-ex-leader-try-to-goad-north-into-conflict/a-73184967) in an attempt to bait a response to justify his later attempted coup.

US soft power and trust is shattered for decades. Now’s a good time for neighbors to rebuild cooperation.

When are you going to open up North Korea, Kim Jong-un? Isn’t trading with the U.S. more reasonable for your survival than continuing North Korea’s hopeless situation? If North Korea trades with the U.S. to balance power, and South Korea leans slightly toward China, it could help stabilize Northeast Asia. And it also contributes to economic prosperity.

I don't have a window into Kim Jong-un's daily internet habits, but I don't think he got your question.

Sanctions have already become half meaningless. Since Trump, many of the agreements and elements of the international order that the U.S. had maintained are starting to fall apart. From the U.S. perspective, as China continues to expand, it’s better to take the initiative and draw North Korea to its side rather than let it become a Chinese satellite and turn into a military base. In that case, since China would lose its buffer zone, it would make sense for South Korea to lean slightly toward China.

What ridiculous and naive view. The US is entirely untrustworthy. Un attempted to negotiate with the US. It ended in embarrassment as the US was not negotiating in good faith - it was nothing but a photo OP for the US with no intention of actual negotiation. Guess which president that was
From North Korea's perspective, the US absolutely cannot be trusted, because the #1 of the US is in direct conflict of the primary goal in North Korea. The US wants an end to the Kim dynasty. Un's primary goal is the continuation of the regime
Those two goals will always be in conflict, preventing a normalization of trade
Militarily they will also always be in conflict. The US does not want NK to have nukes. NK knows it needs nukes for survival. Ghadaffi, Ukraine, and Iran have all proven that to be true over and over again. If the US convinces a country to give up nukes, that country will be invaded

Trump? I don’t think so. The UN? Does the UN even matter to the U.S. right now? The only point that really makes sense is that North Korea can’t trust the U.S., but if things keep going this way, North Korea is more likely to collapse and be absorbed by China. On top of that, Trump is praising North Korea as a nuclear-armed state.
