It was on Fox a bit earlier during the show...I had to turn it off now cause ol Shep is on and I can’t stand the guy!

Anyway, consider this just part of the show.....Kims not happy the military events are happening...so let him stew.

Not meeting with the one person who can get your sanctions lifted is not a threat to that one person. Trump had all the cards

Shepard Smith is reporting so gleefully the world has stopped turning and he’s not holding his breath to see if it’s true hes saying its a definite setback for trump and he is ecstatic about it hes so excitable when peace fails but cries when havok reins he really needs a lollipop and a corner chair

Unless Kim’s playing what we aren’t seeing behind the scenes.

Shepard Smith is by far one of the worst pundits out there...the ‘sky is falling’ when it appeals to his leftist thinking. TV goes off right away when that creep goes on.

I posted on a thread a week or two ago that it’s time for people to stop talking and let the meetings take place. That’s more the case now.

One radio report said Kim was protesting US/SK military maneuvers taking place. There should no military maneuvers at this point by either side. And everyone in the Trump administration should go mum and prepare for the meeting, and especially ignore the Trump hating press when it tries to create controversy around the issue.

It’s entirely possible that China has stepped in and offered him a better deal not to make peace with the United States.

Somehow, I thought NK would pull the rug out from under the talks...

SEOUL, May 16 (Yonhap) — North Korea said Wednesday it is canceling high-level talks with South Korea planned for later in the day due to ongoing military exercises between the South and the United States.

The North’s Korean Central News Agency said the Max Thunder drills between the South Korean and U.S. air forces are a rehearsal for invasion of the North and a provocation amid warming inter-Korean ties.

The high-level talks were meant to take place on the southern side of the truce village of Panmunjom to discuss follow-up measures to the two Korean leaders’ summit last month.

It’s on Fox and others too now.

Fake news or Rocket Man's try at "The Art of the Deal".

According to Sputnik they supposedly cancelled joint talks with the South over the drills which were undoubtedly planed months ago and well publicized before hand.

This is just Toady Lil' Kim stomping his feet at anything and everything as per usual.

Things will only get wore for his countrymen the longer he stalls. Not like he cares as long as his military gets fed.

“If they want to pull out of maybe their final chance to save their country, so be it.”

They aren’t pulling out. Kim is dead in the water so to speak and he seems like he is sick and tired of the whole “king of the hermit kingdom” thing.

News like this is to make Kim look like he’s winning to North Koreans. He is still going to have to look like he is in control of these talks so that people don’t revolt (China doesn’t want that ... they want a buffer between it and South Korea).

That’s what it seems like to me anyway ...

“The North’s Korean Central News Agency said the Max Thunder drills between the South Korean and U.S. air forces are a rehearsal for invasion of the North and a provocation amid warming inter-Korean ties.”

Watch some other clips of NK Central News. While they seem more fair and balanced compared to CNN when it comes to Trump, they’re still completely owned and operated by the Kim regime. Anything coming from NK News is going to make Kim look like he’s winning to the people in NK.

I can’t imagine who watches him.

There can’t be that many unemployed homosexuals, can there?

Fine, lets tighten up the screws on the fanatical hermit kingdom. Eventually he will be overthrown.

AwWWW!

C’mon Kim!

You were doing so well and I was rooting for you and your people.

Think East Germany and reunification.

Your legacy will be sung for hundreds of years.
