Concern mounts over delayed repatriation of US war remains (N. Korea)
The Korea Herald ^ | 12 July 2018 | Yeo Jun Suk

With North Korean and US delegates scheduled to meet Thursday to negotiate the return of US war remains from the Korean War, the focus is now on whether the two sides can make progress on the issue.

During their first summit last month in Singapore, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and US President Donald Trump committed to recovering US war remains, including the “immediate repatriation of those already identified.” North Korea holds about 200 sets of remains from among the some 5,300 US military personnel believed still lost in the country, according to Department of Defense estimates.

There has been little progress in the process since then. Despite high expectations for his trip to Pyongyang, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo came home empty-handed and was criticized by North Korea for making “gangster-like demands.”

The delay in the repatriation of war remains has raised questions over what is preventing the two sides from reaching a deal that their leaders had committed to, with concern mounting over Pyongyang’s mixed record on cooperation during previous negotiations.

So, it appears that Kim Jong Un may be welching on his ‘promises’? Give it time......I’m sure his ‘Generals’ were up in arms over his visit with Trump. They MUST rein him back in, or they may be out of jobs!

To paraphrase the Arab saying:

Trust a North Korean’s promise but tie up your nuclear armed camel.

Or Reagan’s trust but verify.

Agree. Trust, but verify! (And didn’t the Left have a meltdown over the ‘canceled’ war exercises of next Spring.....that can easily be rescheduled, if Kim walks away).

It seems unlikely that North Korea would properly dispose of a foreign soldiers remains. Has anyone verified that they have any remains or is that just something Kim made up for his photo op.

Fake news.

“We got back our great fallen heroes, the remains sent back today, already 200 got sent back,” Trump told a rally in Duluth, Minnesota.

What Kim is doing is trying to seduce South Korea away from US influence.

Time to send back the Carrier task force and let it cruise up and down NORKIES nuclear coast in the east, with occasional drones accidentally wandering off course.

Let the war games begin.

Quite the contrary, my friend.

Supported Carson, then Cruz until June 2016, then Trump through the Convention, into the General Election against the bitch, volunteered in a DJT ‘16 field office stateside, through Inauguration, and still until today in many issues, •••but not all•••. You might start by getting the facts straight.

Now, prepared to back it up?

The fight isn't here on FR.

It's on Twitter. Of course, you'd know that if you were actually IN the fight.

You can hang out and get your jabs in against President Trump where it doesn't make any difference, or you can come to the fight with the rest of us.   winking face
