North Korea promises to stop tests immediately and promises to completely demolish its nukes in...2025, the year after Trump leaves. In return, Trump agrees to immediately lift sanctions.

Thus, Kim and Trump get to declare victory so long as Kim does not renounce the deal until after Trump leaves office. Easy peasey. Trump gets his Nobel prize for the agreement and Kim gets to keep his nukes, plus a lifting of sanctions. Heck, all Kim has to do is praise Trump and Trump will give away the farm.

(17,390 posts)So much for "complete, verifiable" disarmament. Trump pretty much gave away the farm rolling back sanctions in return for nothing. Indeed, when Kim does squat, Republicans will just blame it on the next Democratic President...assuming we can retain some level of a functioning democracy here.

The agreement signed by President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on Tuesday appeared to contain no new pledges and was padded with vague language that many experts said would be difficult to enforce.
While some commentators were scathing, others painted the meeting as the historic first step in a process where the technical details would come later.
And even some critics conceded that any level of diplomacy was preferable to the apocalyptic threats traded between Trump and Kim last year.
Tuesday's document described itself as "an epochal event of great significance" and said Kim's regime had agreed "to work toward complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula."
