Come on? Why did the NORKS just blame Pence for this? They are clueless as how to proceed and win. They actually think the VP and Trump are going to fight. Trump will on the MarAlago golf course playing a round with him and say to Pence: “Good job drawing them out.” The NORKS are so stuck in their power structure they have no idea how the world works. They are a 1950’s nation. Stunted development. If Trump doesn’t beat them senseless in negotiations I will eat my mowing cap. (It is nasty)
It's a new USA for the NORKS and they're desperately flailing about for some kind of an angle to gain control of the pre-negotiations. They tried blaming the already-scheduled South Korean/USA naval exercises - fail. Then blaming Bolton - fail. Now they're trying to blame Pence - fail. Nothing in their pathetic little bag of tricks is working.
I have no idea why the NORKS are saying what they are saying now but if you think NK is as what has been purposely portrayed you are highly naive. If you think there haven’t been other players besides Kim Jong-un running NK you are naive.
