Here's what's missing out of coverage on the Trump-Kim summit.
The alliance between an extortionistic leader and his two lapdogs.

A quick Google tells me that Russia has written off plenty of debt throughout the years. Africa, Cuba, Venezuela.
But in 2012, Russia wrote off North Korea's debt.
90% of their debt. That's quite a big chunk.
$11 billion dollars written off for new leader Kim Jon Un.
And that Russia would reinvest that into the impoverished state.

In other words, whether Vlad says it or not, DPRK had become his property.

It's the way he works. (Just look at those other countries, he stakes a claim in them.)
Fairly good overview of RUS-DPRK trade history.
They're looking to increase it up to 10% by 2020. Interesting year.

If there is peace.
Let me repeat that in a different way.

When there is peace between one of the extortionist's lapdogs and ROK, then there are plans to build two different large projects.
One is a railway between DPRK and ROK. (Nice bunch of steel needed there.)
And the other is a pipeline project between the two nations.

But Vlad won't get these projects unless there is peace.

Enter lapdog #2.
Yes, DJT. Clearly RUS has something on him. Clearly he's owned.
I mean, bringing RUS back into G8. Trying to avoid sanctions for them while tariffing our allies.
That private talk between Kim and Trump?
It's a back-channel.
Expectations for the meeting?

It will go well if the extortionist of both men says it will.
Everything else is just posturing.

He's pushed KJU into position for years by toying with sanctions - be it easing or teasing.

This isn't the tale of DJT being a hero and creating peace.
It's the tale of two lapdogs being manipulated into positons (for years) to create a situation in which the extortionist will gain further possession and profit off of a peace deal.

But there is far too much at stake.
