Yep. Norks have come back to the table per NK and SK media.
Walking away is a valid negotiating tactic if your opponent has more to gain than you from a deal. And the Norks clearly need money and infrastructure more than SK and the US need a denuclearized NK.

Another big fricking fail. Trump has schooled you so many times it’s almost not funny anymore.

Progressive politics have devolved into wanting the absolute worst outcomes merely for the sake of politics.
Opening the doors to North Korea would benefit all of mankind.
If only the progressives could understand that.
And as of the recent report that NK wants to talk, I am sure you are severely disappointed.

FT I'll try to engage you some here since you say that you're willing to have reasonable discussion
There are things we know and things that we don't know.
One thing that we're not certain of is exactly why this meeting was cancelled. There is speculation that Kim was very hesitant about the meeting himself and may have called it off. This could very well be Trump throwing him a bone and taking the blame for the meeting being cancelled as a sign of good faith for release of the hostages.
Why would Kim be hesitant? He is concerned about a coup in his own country if he is out of the country for too long. It explains why he has had several high ranking North Koreans executed including his uncle. Kim may be a lunatic but it takes more rational thought than you might think to hold on to power in such a fricked up country. Much more so than it takes in a first world country.
We don't know what's going on behind the scenes. This isn't over yet.

MSM when this was first announced, said Trump was foolish to encourage face to face with NoKo and it showed weakness on Trump to the world stage..
Now that he cancelled the meeting, the same MSM is saying it is showing weakness.
So which is it? Can't have it both ways.. Trump will not put the US in a bad deal like Obama did with Iran.

3 ways, SK and NK are saying NK wants to come back in.
I guess they are I haven't seen a link but our press would wait because their giddiness has been an embarrassment to them and the country generally
