Korea war risks have risen despite summit diplomacy-8

Much can still go wrong. The
risks of war are higher now
than before the drive to the
summit. But diplomacy can still
succeed, if Trump allows
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and his team to drive
the strategy, and allows
Pompeo and Bolton to wield
the Trump personality as a
negotiating lever. On North
Korea, we have seen disciplined Trump,
unpredictable Trump, and
petulant Trump. If Pompeo,
Bolton and Mattis can do
enough to reassure South
Korea and Japan; if Trump himself maintains his
relationships with Xi; and if the
team plays their unwieldly and
tempestuous president
cleverly, this is the one arena
where the "mad man" theory of the presidency can produce
results. If it fails now, we are
well on our way to war.Source:Asian Review
