N. Korea's pretty-face diplomacy... is it working?
Was it a ruse to distract our attention from the beast with beauty?

Saab worries Korea will buy Boeing's anti-sub planes with no bids
Saab is in for a difficult competition in Korea. By the lie of the land, the Swedish company may not get a chance to bid for Korea's $1.7 billion purchase deal for anti-submarine aircraft.

Nobel Peace Prize for this guy?

Dotard meets Rocket Man
Anything related to North Korea _ especially something major _ should be taken not with a grain of salt but maybe with a spoonful.
