North Korea agreed to end its quest to join the Nuclear League by the end of this year. What motivated the powers-that-be to this decision was the desire to procure "political and economic compensation." Talks between the U.S. and N. Korea in Geneva were said to have been a pleasant affair. The U.S. walked away victorious.
I personally think that the only reason North Korea was pursuing a program in the first place was to get a chance to sit at the table with the big dogs, and the only way to get any attention without the loss of life via warfare was with a nuke. I am willing to be that Kim is going to get all of the attention he can stand now just to keep him from going back to the atom-splitting drawing board.
So it seems that maybe the real winner in this battle was not the U.S., but little N.K. after all.
