N. Korea Says Denuclearization Talks With Pompeo "Regrettable" (Calls USA "Gangster-Like")
FOX News Politics ^ | 7 July 2018 | Adam Shaw, FOX News

North Korea on Saturday accused the U.S. of undermining the spirit of last month’s summit between President Trump and Kim Jong Un after what it says were “regrettable” talks with a delegation led by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

A statement by the North Korean Foreign Ministry, accusing the U.S. of trying to unilaterally pressure the country into abandoning its nuclear weapons, came shortly after Pompeo’s delegation left the country. "We had expected that the U.S. side would offer constructive measures that would help build trust based on the spirit of the leaders' summit ... we were also thinking about providing reciprocal measures," Pyongyang's Foreign Ministry said in a statement, according to The Associated Press. "However, the attitude and stance the United States showed in the first high-level meeting (between the countries) was no doubt regrettable," the spokesman said.

Pompeo had struck a different tone, telling reporters as he left that the talks with senior North Korean official Kim Yong Chol had been “productive.”

They may not grasp the theme of the Trump message....the embargo going-away business is connected to North Korea not being a threat (hint: no nukes).

Playing the same game they've played since Truman.

Don't think they'll roll THIS President.

Not sure he calls all the shots. Likely there are many wannabe dictators with input, waiting in the wings for their shot to supplant Rocket Man.

Trump needs to offer Fat Boy two choices.

1) Immediate denuclearization of the Korean peninsular.

2) Immediate heavy nuclearization of North Korea starting with Pyongyang.

His choice.

Time to reinstate “war games” and get ready for a full scale attack to wipe out their nukes.

No surprise. The little dog-eater knows he cannot win in this negotiation. He is doing his best to counter Trump’s position but I am guessing it won’t be long before the screws get even tighter.

Get out the popcorn.

They are not sincere.

They were not sincere.

They never were.

But, we will have to let this play out as it has for the last 40 years, it is so predictable and pathetic. When it comes to Asia, we are a bit dense but thank goodness we do finally come around and we "get it."

Stop the nonsense——nuclear war is NEVER the answer.

Yes. It does present a potent argument for regime change, what we were thinking one and two years ago and never should have abandoned.

“..Likely there are many wannabe dictators with input, waiting in the wings...”

That’s the problem with being a Fat Little Commie Bastard...

There’s always ANOTHER Fat Little Commie Bastard jerking off at the thought of being the next Fat BIG Commie Bastard...

“... They were not sincere. They never were...”

The Panmunjom scene from “Pork Chop Hill” comes to mind.

He’s pissed off a lot of people, so he needs to spend his life looking over his shoulder.

Here’s to hoping some Korean Patriot has really good aim.

All part of the dance. This ain’t Trump’s first rodeo. He is used to dealing with liars and cheats.
