that was obviously a dramatic detour that the soviet union took. there used to be and east germany and a west germany and now they are united. people can make decisions to change and is unlikely as it might seem with kim, it is still good to put that other vision fourth and have him consider the possibilities of not having to brutally oppress your people in order to continue to be in power, buthaving opportunity for everybody that that would be a new way to have strength. and if people are open to it, there is so much that we need to be done to make this happen. it is very unlikely, but it is worth making the pitch. chris: i was going to say, it s awfully hard to get a brutal totalitarian regime to change the way it goes. i want to go to one last point and that is a comment that president trump made almost at the end of his press conference. here it is. i think he s going to do these things. i may be wrong. i may stand before you in six months and say hey, i was wrong. i don t know
south korea is eager to begin trade with north korea and i guess the question i have is with chairman kemp now at the end of this summit a much more respectful, normalizede in the world diplomatic channels, is it going to be harder to keep up the international sanctions? it s important to remember that the success we ve had thus far has been due in large part to this very strict sanctions regime, and so to abandon that or to ease up on that without something solid in return might not produce results that we would like to see. and what i think president trump and mike pompeo have been talking about is the importance of north korea choosing a new way of being very seeing that it s in their interest to have a different course of action than the one that they have taken. sanctions are key to helping them see that it is in their best interest to have a new approach, a less bellicose approach, one where there is more freedom in terms of free
