Only members of Cult 45 would look at a deal where NK gets something and we get nothing and call it a win.

What was sacrificed...camera time? Absolutely nothing but time was given up. How many times did you freak out when exercises on the Korean Peninsula were canceled for the Olympics? Typhoons? Change in SK Presidency? The 100’s of other times because of DMZ flareup? You didn’t because you had no clue and it impacts nothing.

Is not the chance for peace and prosperity on the Korean Peninsula and regionally not receiving something or a “win” as you put it? Were we supposed to receive something tangible like a trophy or medal? 

I find it hard to comprehend that you believe diplomacy is a one-time deal and if it ever falls through you just abandon forever. So I guess the only solution is by force? Take the blinders off and perhaps you can see the bigger picture. There is no guarantee for long-term success but at least someone is trying.
