Ok, soooo, during hostilities of the Korean War (which is technically not over yet, btw) China fought alongside North Korea against the U.S. and now Kim is worried about China and considers the US a deterrent…wtf
I think it's a good idea to be skeptical of anything Mike Pompeo says for obvious reasons. 
However, the notion that North Korean leadership sees the U.S. presence in South Korea as a useful counter-balance to China doesn't seem that far-fetched. 
It increases their bargaining power because it makes them more important to China, particularly now that the U.S.-China relationship is so strained. Simultaneously, North Korean leadership is cautious about letting China have too much influence in the country. See Kim Jong-nam, who was said to have a friendly relationship with China. >

Don't you mean for obvious treasons >

Heavy is the head that wears the crown, nobody is your genuine friend.
Now add a paranoiac and nuclear weapons to the mix and you can see why kimmy acts the way he does. >

Why would anyone believe Mike Pompeo? >

Well the Kim-Trump bromance was real. >

It was more then a bromance to Chump apparently. >

More one way simping really >

How would we even do that if he remained in North Korea? >

It depends on what scenario Kim had in mind. If things turned really sour with China, I could totally see him wanting an arraignment whereby he can flee to an American base in the south and live in exile, then let the the South Koreans take the North before China does. >

He shouts "Save us" and we whisper back... "No..." >

Ha, ha, ha  and if you would let me steal from you while you have your back to me fighting my enemy.  PASSS!
