Didn't NK already commit to denuclearization?

they did, but then they refused to allow much inspection, much less verification/removal.

This is about as solid a signing statement of intent for the 2 parties, that can be gotten

Does this new agreement allow for more inspection and verification?

John Bolton for all his insane faults is an expert at setting up a de-nuke regimen, but the key is full inspection of facilities,and random access . I assume the military bases would be exempt like he Iran deal..they'll work it out
 
President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un signed what Trump says is a “very important” and “pretty comprehensive” document after their Tuesday Summit in Singapore.

Trump and Kim refused to immediately tell reporters what the declaration said, saying it would be handed out later.

However, after signing it, Trump held up the papers for photographers – and the agreement was briefly visible.

“President Trump committed to provide security guarantees to the DPRK and Chairman Kim Jong Un reaffirmed his unwavering commitment to complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula,” according to a preamble of the document.

The document appeared to include a loose, four-point agreement between the nations:
•That the US and DPRK work for “peace and prosperity”
•That the nations will work for a “stable peace” on the peninsula.
•To “work toward complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.”
•That “The United States and the DPRK commit to recovering POW/MIA remains including the immediate reparations of those already identified.”

Earlier in the day, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo defined security guarantees for North Korea as “sufficient certainty that they can be comfortable that denuclearization isn’t something that ends badly for them”.

Trump said Tuesday, as the leaders wrapped up their historic summit in Singapore, that he and Kim “have developed a very special bond” during their day together.

And he says, “Both sides are going to be impressed with the result.”

Kim told reporters that “the world will see a major change,” though it’s unclear how.

The summit marked the first between a sitting U.S. president and a North Korean leader.

It looks like a small Nothingburger. Not even a Peace Treaty. :(

Stretch: "Patience grasshopper."

"The Obama administration's strategic patience policy on North Korea is a zero-sum game. This concept focuses on US policy over Pyongyang's nuclear and ballistic missile program. As an actual definition, “strategic patience” is simple: it means inaction. ... Even so, blame does not solely lie on the US.Jul 2, 2014"

OMG! Stretch has become a Blue Obama-loving Democrat? WTF!?!

Doesn't look like there is any of the bolded in this new one, either.

So, essentially, nothing happened. Another con.

Best case: Peace Treaty.

American troops don't need to be there, NK doesn't need Nukes, SK and NK can begin to work with each other.

So much for your best case. How long before he walks this back when it is revealed there are no details and he plays the "oh well, at least I tried, card?"
