Odds of the following prediction coming true:

Trump somehow reveals that Russia was an active force in encouraging North Korea's detente, thereby casting Russia in the "good guy" role and giving him to ease sanctions against them. Thus meeting their long desired obligations under the quid pro quo.

I think there's a real shot some sort of narrative like this emerges.

With that said, I agree with the OP.

NK is acting on behalf of Putin.
