    So Donald Trump has agreed to meet with Mr Kim in Vietnam.
    Consider how this will be seen by the North Korean populace.

    1. Vietnam, the country which was mercilessly bombed.
    2. The US used Chemical weapons (napalm, agent orange) against unarmed civilians. (war crime potential).
    3. Parts of Laos were extensively bombed with anti personnel land mines. Farmers in Laos even today are being maimed by these bombs.
    4. Finally the US troops withdrew from Vietnam, frustrated by the cost, lack of progress, and revolts back home.
    5. A big fear in the North Korean population is being bombed by the US. They see that their defense is to have powerful weapons to stop this.

    6. So Trump agrees to meet in Vietnam, to discuss a peace deal with North Korea.
    7. Any astute North Korean reporter will see a hypocrisy. Trump and the US will be made to look stupid, and deceitful.
