North Korea in good faith?

Rare earth materials, think electronics.

We need North Korea as a playing card of retaliation to force China to keep on buying up all our worthless government IOU’s.

North Korea approaxhed Iran in 1999 to let them know they could sell nukes to Iran so that they could be nuked and asked for a billion ransom.

If all the hoopla about summit between US and Korea, what a blunder and loss of faith for US, and who is playing whom? Is it a mockery or, something vastly more peculiar?

Certainly, gives pause to give. US intelligence a pretty naive and inept Or, is it?
