A joint declaration signed by President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un says the U.S. has committed to providing "security guarantees" to the North.

This statement is now even more confusing than it was before.

Yeah, I saw that and was wondering what in the world that actually means. Will the US sit between SK/NK and ensure peaceful coexistence? Will the US defend NK?

President Trump and Chairman Kim Jong Un commit to implement the stipulations in this joint statement fairly and expeditiously.

This is clearly only a preliminary document, details will follow in the coming days and weeks. This is exciting times.

I'm thinking it means we'll commit in some way to not letting Kim get sodomized by a bayonet like Gaddafi b/c of US interference. I'm just speculating though.

We'll have to wait and see. The Norks have signed agreements in the past for temporary relief so they could continue feeding their army then reneged on promises before. I'm optimistic though b/c why not?

New leader, he's young and entirely grew up in this society of his forefathers. He sees the problems, the hunger and how far his country is behind the rest of the world. He has no reason to resist any longer. It's time.
