Two opposite characters met and locked in, dancing with the nuclear genie. President Donald Trump needs Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un to loosen his grip on nuclear ambitions, so that a denuclearization of the Korean peninsula can be achieved. Kim will allow partial denuclearization because he knows that his country already has achieved parity with the U.S., and the U.S. will not be a threat to them as all military posturing involving wargames and other power plays around its border will stop according to a Trump-Kim non-aggression agreement.

Trump wants this pact to be implemented immediately. Kim knows that his country can get back to the nuclearization mode easily if it feels threatened again by the U.S. because it has mastered the technology of how to control the nuclear genie.

North Korea will benefit tremendously through the elimination of economic strangulation imposed by America. American ideology of democratization and its impregnation and implementation to countries controlled by autocratic/nationalistic/communist despots is the ultimate goal. If Trump can achieve partial denuclearization in the Korean peninsula, then Trump can sleep peacefully that his rein in the American presidency for another four-year term is secured.

Furthermore, this non-aggression pact could lead to a lasting peaceful coexistence with North Korea. This political achievement will cover all Trump’s Russia/women/egotistic misadventures and put him as the leader who might look like an unpolished politician, but a man who can deliver goods for the betterment of the country and world peace.
