North Korea has accused the US of using "gangster-like" tactics to push it towards nuclear disarmament after a fresh round of high-level talks.
It branded the US attitude at the meeting as "extremely troubling".
The statement, by an unnamed foreign ministry official, gave a starkly different account from one provided by US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo just hours before.
He had said progress was made during his two-day visit to Pyongyang.
It is the first time he has visited North Korea since a summit between Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un in Singapore....

Excellent.
That just means they are frustrated that they can’t push us around anymore.

Trump should destroy North Korea and be done with it. Trump will never win otherwise. Turn all his facilities to dust.

The Norks are wanting to keep a bit of face, to be able to tell their people that are in a position of power over the Americans.

President Trump won’t destroy the DPRK without an aggressive move by the North Koreans such as a live ICBM launch at us or a chemical or biological attack.

This squawking is probably for internal consumption, to allow KJU to “save face” by protesting publicly while agreeing privately.

In still other news... An anonymous North Korean ten year old was tried and executed this afternoon for making unauthorized comments to the foreign press about the color of Kim Jung Un’s basketball shoes. /s

Yet, the question remains. So what? When dealing with gangsters you need to employ gangster tactics.
To: bigbob
Exactly. They need to save face. They need to show they got some consetions for their acquiesce to the US demands. Kim wants to stay in power. There are still people he has not executed that are not happy with the way things are going.

The entire spectrum of media (Communist Propaganda Machine) is hammering away with this as to belittle Trump for not understanding how professional diplomacy with North Korea actually works. The same with Iran, China, and the EU.
I believe Trump will get the last laugh, and there will be much wailing and gnashing of teeth.

That would require that we lose 10 million innocent men, woman and children American Citizens. That is absurd. We have the “Bush doctrine of preemption” only here we have an existential threat, a clear and present danger.

They even use unnamed sources from North Korea. I think I will take Mike Pompeo’s word over some anonymous North Korean dude.
