Korea: the retrogression

Styx was always more positive than I was about what Trump accomplished with the two Koreas. I agree it was impressive for Trump to walk across the line in Panmunjeom to stand in technical North Korea, but unlike Styx, I don't see that Trump's politicking in this part of the world made all that much difference. It could be said that North Korea didn't try anything extreme on Trump's watch, and it feels bolder about acting out now, thanks to Biden's limp-wristed handling of global affairs, but I don't think the contrast in North Korea's behavior, on Trump's watch versus on Biden's watch, is quite as stark as Styx thinks it is. 

All the same, hear Styx out:
