The drama of the despots in broad day light a helpless world in the Bitcoin era could all but watch
The lure of reflected attention is too much to resist even
for the most lethargic blogger, especially if the source is a historic event
which will grow in its impact rather than be forgotten soon. The meeting of Donald
Trump and Kim Jong Un in Singapore today is such an event.
The media is brimming with analysis and commentaries about
the event but there isn’t much about the drama itself which has lasted several
decades since the last world war.
The Summit of President Donald Trump of the USA and Kim Jong
Un of North Korea is the latest scene of
an act, starting a few presidencies
back, precisely during the Clinton era.
It is amusing to see that Donald Trump, who has mastered the
act of playing out the provocateur hero on the world stage, has played the
scene of the bull in the china shop masterfully in the G7 summit , sending out
a intimidating message to Kim. He can and will walk out If things don’t go his
way!
Even though his G7
partners appeared to be baffled by the disrupting performance of Trump, his adversary
Kim appeared to be nonchalant of Trump’s pre summit antics, under lining his
mood by a relaxed nightly outing in Singapore. Kim had good reasons to be
relaxed. He has inherited great things from his dad and he has used them
wisely!
What he inherited is the Nuclear capability his dad bought
from the treacherous Pakis who had no
qualms in back stabbing the Americans by exposing the technology to the North Koreans.
Now he has sufficiently demonstrated it to the world and the
US . Contrary to the projection of the threat to the US from his long range
missiles, the real threat is to his very neighbours protected by the US. Can
the US afford to burn millions of South Koreans and Japanese and even Chinese
in Nuclear hell ?
Kim knows the Americans can’t and won’t do it. And the onus
is on Donald Trump. Donald Trump knew it
Kim Knew it and they had no way
but act out a scene in front of the world.
For the world and the international community, the Singapore
Summit, for all its suspense and drama had been good entertainment. But the
real winner is indeed Kim Jong Un who used the time tested ploy of Nuclear empowerment
to get his way. China used it. India used it. Pakistan used it, Iran is using
it. Why not North Korea?
Only in this case, a country by threatening its own
neighbours is extracting a pound of flesh from another far away, simply because
of a grudge it holds for a war fought on ideology half a century ago. The US should have
extricated itself out of it decades ago.
Kim must have relished the subtle message Trump was trying to
send out to his straw boss Xi Jinping of China. Xi had recently courted
Vladimir Putin of Russia with a fake gold necklace and Trump offered him his
own seat during the G7 meeting by arguing for Putin’s re entry in to the group,
to undercut any tactical support to Kim’s controller from the Russians. After
all who won’t be elated at the thought of someone pulling the carpet under your
boss’s feet ?
A smarter Donald Trump would have drawn Kim Jong Un to a Detente
like bind, with even a promise of
unification with the South and a fast entry in to an affluent society, much
like the Germans, to counter the mighty China
in this summit. Donald Trump has lost the opportunity of the century.
