If you're a benevolent leader (POTUS) who wants only good for the citizens of your opponents country AND if you just destroyed your opponents war making capability you might have a conversation behind closed doors and tell him (Kim) you want them to look strong to the world (considering you've been controlled by the shadow govts against your will).
You might tell him (Kim) you don't plan on Ghadaffi-ing his ass and to prove it you want them to push back seemingly taking control of peace talks as if we are equals.
If you were only out for that nations freedom and world peace and not for control you could show it in this way.
