They keep throwing around terms without definitions--"denuclearization" is one, but what about the fabled "unification"? Is Kim going to give up power and retire to some little farm somewhere? Or strip the treasury to retire in luxury? Or stick around and help run the new Korea? You have have a goal before you work toward it. (Yeah, I'm very skeptical of a change in the scenario that is older than I am and I'm over 60)
