Rodman said he hopes to open the door for a conversation because Kim has told him that he doesn't want war.
"I'm close enough to him to the fact that he can discuss anything with me. But the deal is I don't discuss politics because that's not my job. My job is to be a human being, to try and connect us with him."
This started because of Rodman, whether you like it or not. It's probably hard for you to understand that a black man from humble beginnings, that was JUST a basketball player, could make such a difference, but he did. I suggest you re-read what you said and apply it to Rodman. He may have been a wierdo for a while but he is a good dude and has a big heart.
Did you know Rodman gave Kim the Donald Trump book Art of the Deal? Yeah, it was Rodman who opened that door. And like others have said, ultimately it is because of the NK and SK leaders meeting why things may be changing. The US isn't fully bought into it yet though, until the US disarms them nuclearly (while keeping their own nukes, of course).
