Kim Jong Un suspends planned military retaliation against South Korea

North Korea said Wednesday leader Kim Jong Un suspended a planned military retaliation against South Korea, in an apparent slowing of the pressure campaign it has waged against its rival amid stalled nuclear negotiations with the Trump administration.

Last week, the North had declared relations with the South as fully ruptured, destroyed an inter-Korean liaison office in its territory and threatened unspecified military action to censure Seoul for a lack of progress in bilateral cooperation and for activists floating anti-Pyongyang leaflets across the border.

Analysts say North Korea, after weeks deliberately raising tensions, may be pulling away just enough to make room for South Korean concessions.

“The Chinese said not right now we have a Dam about to Bust”

Pity we can’t help make that happen.

How about a compromise: throw Bolton on North Korea?

There seems to be a power struggle in N. Korea between Little Kim and Sister Kim.

little Kim hadn’t been seen lately and Sister Kim was reported to done the order to blow up the new building just north of the South/North DMZ.

Now, days later from the building demolition, Little Kim surfaces and says, “Kool it with making trouble about our relations with S. Korea.” Sounds to me like a power struggle.
