President-elect Joe Biden's foreign policy team will soon have access to the letters President Donald Trump exchanged with North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un, correspondence that belongs to the US government -- not Trump -- and could provide insight into one of the world's most enigmatic leaders.
Yeah I'm extremely aware that the guy is a huge liberal from the tone of the book, I don't take him uncritically as an authoritative source (although I more or less did here, I admit). One thing I really like about the book is that he's constantly having to admit that the US/ROK were the "bad guys" (as much as he expressly dislikes the DPRK and communism). I usually note all of this whenever I bring the book up, but I didn't do so here cause laziness or whatever.
But yeah, those criticisms are valid, if a tad harsh (he's extremely fair to the DPRK for a lib IMO). If you have more/better resources about the DPRKs internal workings I'm always looking to inform myself, it's one of my favorite topics.
Edit: forgot to mention, but obviously he makes a huge ass of himself making fun of the guides accent. Don't know what that's about tbh, but I guess he can fuck off.
