So, the conspiracy theory mind in me went a little Haywire with this one. What if, Russia totally manipulated this for their benefit a long time ago. They've been giving Aid to North Korea for some time, you obviously can't really pay them for these things, and then North Korea backs out of any talk with Trump, and Putin can come in and appear to be the savior.
