[Unrepentant VN Vet]

Since I don’t trust the NYSlimes as far as I can throw Manhatten I did a fast search, got a half-dozen other places this story has had play (Reuters, Australia, India...) but nothing from South Korean or Japanese sources.

Is my tinfoil too tight or is somebody playing a game here?

He did say such a thing, but it is not something MSM want it to be. He is throwing a bone to S. Korean gov, who has been eager to push its appeasement agenda. The nuclear issue is between U.S. and NK. NK made it clear time and again. It does not matter what NK does to SK. It will not lead to any progress in nuclear issue. NK wants SK gov to run interference and tie down U.S. while it is working to finish its nuclear/ICBM project.
