It's some wild shit that's happening.
Bizarro timeline
Watch them give it to the Parkland kids.
I think Kim has decided he needs to modernize North Korea with some moderate changes to survive, but the eagerness to appease Trump is suspicious. Like Putin and Trump are coercing Kim level of suspicion.
Why lol?
They have better diplomatic leverage than some detainees these days.
They accidentally imploded their nuclear testing facilities.
He isn't shook, he got his nukes after all these years and is using his ultimate bargaining chip because he knows Trump is his only chance at getting the US of his back while allowing him to keep running his despotic regime.
Kim can't afford to wait for the next prsident, because it could be someone who wants something more than good press at the expense of the NK people.
These detainees were political pawns from the start, this isn't some kind of grand humane gesture or somethign made to "appease Trump".
"We heard it through our sources in North Korea late last month," Choi Sung-ryong told the news outlet. "We believe that Mr. Trump can take them back on the day of the US-North Korea summit or he can send an envoy to take them back to the US before the summit."
It's amazing how people can twist the developments in Korea as negative.
