Dear Ms. Hilarious Nobama Nopar Hadabaday,
I sincerely hope you will regard this suggestion as worthy of your attention, and that you will take into consideration some of these ideas regarding the potential upcoming summit with North Korea. In my vast research regarding North Korea, I have discovered a pattern of what I like to call “Strategic Isolationist Brinkmanship”: a policy where North Korea frequently extends a fake olive branch in order to invite potential talks of peace, and then shortly afterwards retracts it and returns to their sadistic and ludicrous treatment of domestic and world affairs.
