Do You Think Nk Will Denuclearise Or Is It A Delaying Tactic?
I would like to think they have come to their senses but they have used diplomatic avenues before and promised things but have just gone back to form when they don't get what they want or because of a 'perceive' slight.

Mr Kim (and/or his aides) are playing Mr Trump like a fiddle.
Watched from a safe (I hope) distance it's a fascinating exercise in diplomacy and deceit and I think any of us who still deride Mr Kim as a buffoon are very much wrong now (if indeed we were ever right).
I don't think they'll 'denuclearize' in any meaningful way - just do enough to get the sanctions lifted and then queitly get on with whatever they want to do.

// Isn't the fact that Donald has managed to get him round the negotiating table a good thing?//
Maybe, or perhaps it's N.Korea who've managed to get Donald round the negotiating table. It's all a game. Their nuclear programme is a means to get something they want. Perhaps this is when we find out what it is.

It could be exciting and maybe brings the peace we all want to see. Still, I'd be wary of the changes in tune from North Korea -- and, for that matter, from Trump, who barely a few months ago was comparing nuclear button sizes and acting like a primary school kid -- "I try SO HARD to be his friend!", he moaned...
Also, this meeting was set up by South Koreans. I'm happy to give credit to Trump for accepting it but not for suggesting it. Here's hoping it works.

I repeat, it's NK that's brought people to the negotiating table, not the other way around. If they weren't threatening to build nukes, would anyone be talking to them or paying them the slightest attention whatsoever?
That fat little puppet might be barking mad, but there are cleverer people pulling the strings. You've got to hope so anyway, god help us if there aren't.

The difficulty with nuclear weapons is that their possession is a gun which no-one can in-ring.
In order to get rid of nuclear weapons, one nation (there is no chance of all of them together!) needs to get rid of its weapons first as an act of faith, thus exposing itself to the weapons of the others.
Sadly, the idea that other leaders would follow the example of the first, flies in the face of the personality requisites required to be in a position of leader in the first place - which is an understanding that having nuclear weapons is necessary for defence.

NK has nuclear weapons as they are an isolated, pariah state genuinely worried that if they don't have them then they will be invaded.
Add to the fact that sanctions do hurt, and it is not all that susprising that they want to negotiate. There would be little point otherwise in having the weapons, which they cannot realistically use unilaterally without fear of obliteration, despite the rhetoric.
And persumably Mr Kim has seen another overweight, autocratic leader with an easily flattered ego and thought: here is a man who might understand where I'm coming from :-)
