I don’t let my tv watch Fox News, so I don’t know what they were pimping, but the main news Friday about Pence was that he found himself in th same space as Kim Jong-un’s sister Kim Yo-jong. Pence managed to not shake her hand. That alone might not have been a big item, but the read is that Kim Jon-un’s envoy is doing much better than Trump’s envoy (Pence) at making a positive international and, even S. Korean, impression. The US message is: We are still prepared to Nuke N. Korea into smithereens if they take offensive action against our allies in the south, while the NK message is being seen as one of brotherhood and unity and (cough) peace.
This kind of sucks, as Kim Jong-un is on of the few people who can challenge Mike Pence for being the least likable person in the room. I have read some reports that his sister is not really wowing the mass of South Koreans as much as media reports suggest, but given the context, even a little bit of wowing is pretty big news.
