James Petras Trump's summit with Kim Jong Un doomed to failure ?

Democracy and Class Struggle is not an echo chamber and we publish contrary views in the context of the struggle for Revolutionary Democracy and Socialism.

Our own view is that North Korean diplomacy is seriously underestimated as is Kim Jong Un personally and North Korea may extract more from the forthcoming meeting than many expect.

However we know where James Petras is coming from and he may be proved right in the longer term.

If the failure of the coming meeting in Singapore can clearly be laid at the feet of Donald J Trump that will also be a victory for the DPRK - watch US Media build up to meeting that will indicate the way the wind is blowing.
