I didn't think 'small missiles' were allowed under the UN Ban.

NK wants these things.

Keep their nukes.
Maintain the Kim family regime.
Reunification with SK under communism.
UN forces out of SK.
Lifting of all sanctions.

They aren't going to give up any of these.

NK is not losing its struggle with Trump.

Dictators are not effectively handled by concessions. Kim is taking advantage of a weak president. Why wouldn't he?

After saying stuff like

Trump: There’s ‘No Longer a Nuclear Threat’ From North Korea

what else can Trump say without sounding like an idiot that North Korea suckered.

The enemies of America are cackling with glee.
