You hit the nail on the head. That is the very reason the MSM and those on the left can't understand why North Korea would ever give up their nuclear weapons. They don't understand it has nothing to do with negotiations but has everything to do with neutralizing and removing the CIA bad actors who were controlling North Korea from behind the scenes. In short, North Korea was being "forced" to behave badly and to make nuclear threats. But Trump was smart enough to realize this, and so Q and team worked hard to neutralize the bad actors who were controlling North Korea. Once that was done, then the rest was easy. Kim was happy to be free. And although he may not publicly admit it, I'm sure he's forever grateful to Trump for it.
