North Korea tells Donald Trump: We will never stop nuclear tests if you don't back off

Nick Reilly Yahoo News UKApril 26, 2017

North Korea has said it won’t stop nuclear tests while the US continues with what it perceives as acts of aggression.

In a retaliation to a White House statement outlining how the US will apply economic and diplomatic pressure on North Korea to dismantle its nuclear weapons programme, a Pyongyang official said the country would not be influenced by outside events.

“As long as America continues its hostile acts of aggression, we will never stop nuclear and missile tests,” Sok Chol Won, director of the North’s Institute of Human Rights at the Academy of Social Sciences, told CNN.

“The nuclear test is an important part of our continued efforts to strengthen our nuclear forces.”

Gee. Backing off has always worked in the past. Whatever was Trump thinking? :-)

I would think that Seoul would be getting very nervous by now. Surprised they themselves haven’t done a pre emptive strike on Pyongyang.

This is one case where regime change and nation building would make sense - as long at the So Koreans do it.

I think at this point the North Korean Bratwurst is trying to stave off assassination/coup efforts by maintaining the bluster. This has the effect of artificially maintaining national cohesion via a common enemy.

I’m not a war-monger - but Trump should draw a simple line:

“Your nuclear tests are a clear and present danger to our nation.

Do one more and we will take out your ability to perform another.”

They will NEVER give up their nuke and missile tests. Never!!!!! They will cease only once the DPRK ceases, or its key leadership is decapitated, sad to say. They will not go willingly.

Of course not. Nice of them to remind us again. We have idiots who never give up appeasement. I thank NK for whacking them again.

For quite a while the Norks have been the Chi-coms useful idiot.
But he is getting too unpredictable even for them.
I predict the little fat one sends his arsenal towards China as a result of the Chinese turning their backs on him.

I hear Hank Johnson from Georgia thinks we should just bomb them until the country sinks.

Kim should be reminded what happened to the last leader who dug a hole.

CNN said ask the director of North Korea’s Institute of Agriculture what he thinks about the nuclear program?

But, don’t ask him about the famines of the 1990’s and 2000’s, I mean, you don’t want to burn your source.

FAKE NEWS!

They’ll never stop if he does back off either, so there is nothing to lose.
