Trump’s extra-ordinary achievement at the Summit

Dear Mr. President:

Thank you and congratulations for outstanding negotiations at the Summit held in Singapore on June 12, 2018 with North Korean Chairman Kim Jong Un. What you were able to accomplish in one day with the leader of the DPRK was far more than any American President had done since President John F. Kennedy. Because I was able to provide JFK with the analytic reports that had revealed the clandestine deployment of Soviet nuclear missiles to Pinar del Rio Province at least a year before the Cuban Missile Crisis, they have given me a special advantage for being able to compliment you about your extraordinary merit, which is worthy of far more than a Nobel Peace Prize honor because you, just as did President Kennedy, had prevented a thermonuclear war.

As an American geopolitical analyst who specialized in the realms of East Asia and the Pacific for over 55 years, I began paying special attention to North Korea especially during the second Bush Administration when Pyongyang had detonated its first atomic bomb during a nuclear test held underground. During the Obama Administration when Kim Jong Un had come to power, the activity within the missile and nuclear programs of the DPRK was beginning to increase rather significantly. For me also being a physical scientist, it was also possible for me to monitor this rapid rate of progress.

For me to convey why congratulations are in order for your extraordinary accomplishments at the Summit held with Chairman Kim in Singapore would require far more space than within the limited constraints of this email format.

Although I had met the late Eldridge Cleaver in 1986 during our attempts to run for the U.S. Senate, we never had an opportunity to discuss his earlier trip to Pyongyang in 1969. However, he was very much against abortions related to his strong respect for human life. But decades later during 2013, I heard about the former NBA player Dennis Rodman, the so-called “bad boy” with the Chicago Bulls, who later became a team member of the Harlem Globetrotters. While playing basketball at an exposition held at Pyongyang in 2013, he became a friend of Kim Jong Un who was the new leader of North Korea only since 2011.

Rodman made many attempts to contact President Barack H. Obama on behalf of Kim after his several visits to North Korea without any encouraging response from the White House.

However, within a few years after their friendship had begun, as my wife and I came out of the door at a restaurant in Anaheim, which is located in California some distance from Disneyland, as we were walking across the driveway to our car in an almost empty parking lot, a limousine had stopped for us, which was a vintage 1951 Chrysler bulletproof sedan. Just as I had opened the passenger door for my spouse to enter our car, a young man and his armed bodyguard had by then exited from their vehicle and at a distance of less than 20 feet, we stood face-to-face looking at each other for at least three minutes. He was, indeed, Kim Jong Un and I was probably one of the very few Americans who recognized him during his secret visit to the United States.

If the American public were only aware about how previous administrations going as far back at least to the Clinton Administration as well as the more recent Obama Administration had been unable to deal with North Korea, which was determined to strike a lethal blow deep into America that would have killed hundreds of millions of people who were living in the United States, then a much greater appreciation of your leadership will occur and become understood.

During my brief encounter with Chairman Kim Jong Un several years ago, it seemed as if he had acquired a great interest in America. More recently through my personal research, I discovered that Kim was an avid fan of the Disney amusement parks and everything related to them.

However, shortly after his return to Pyongyang from his “Spring break” in California, Kim had announced to the world that North Korea had developed a very compact Hydrogen Bomb that could fit inside the nosecone of a long-range ballistic missile that would eventually be able to reach as far as the North American continent along its West Coast.

Finally the time came when North Korea had developed a long-range missile that could strike at the United States. But then, only a Russian scientist and I knew Pyongyang was that capable. Of course, all of the so-called American “experts” did not believe this could be possible. However, based on my past experiences related to the U.S. intelligence agencies in Washington as far back as in 1961, I was aware of their limited capacity.

If every American had taken the time to monitor what had been televised “live” from the Summit in Singapore that was released to the public, perhaps, your outstanding accomplishments during the negotiations would be better understood and respected. It became rather clear that Chairman Kim enjoyed your presence with deep respect. You made every effort to put him at ease during a very stressful time because, until then, we were under the reality of the North Korean Missile Crisis that had actually existed during the past several years.

For me, it was a wonderful feeling to notice that several of my suggestions were implemented or in the process of being carried out very soon after the Summit. Whether or not they reached you directly or if they were eventually filtered into the Oval Office is a question that may never be answered for me, but, in any case, it had a very special meaning for me to know that Pyongyang no longer intends to strike at the United States and beyond with its ICBMs capable of reaching many American cities with thermonuclear warheads that could kill hundreds of million people.

Thank you for accepting my proposal for an economic deal with Pyongyang that can make all the people in the DPRK prosper within the next decade due to its vast mineral deposits and as well as many other resources. With my kindest regards.

Sincerely,  John W. Spring
