SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea lambasted South Korea’s President Moon Jae-in on Friday for “needlessly kibitzing” about relations between Pyongyang and Washington and dismissed Moon’s pledge to take the driver’s seat on the Korean Peninsula as “sophistry”. {snip}

"It’s a known fact inside and outside that the South does not have the capability to resolve the peninsula affairs and elicit an agreement,” the report said.

“When we and the United States are making efforts to implement the Singapore agreement, who would listen to such rude, atrocious sophistry with a presumptuous forecast lacking reality?”

I love the way Un's propagandist renders the English language. This must be the same guy who came up with the word "dotard" to describe Trump.

Interesting how a lot of what has been coming out of North Korea recently has been attributed generically to ‘North Korea’ rather than specifically to Kim Jong-un. Makes me wonder whether there has been regime push back against Kim's discussions with the US.

Not just that but they’re trying to get their food services workers back from the moon. Maybe they can hop over to Mars and make sure the US flag is ok. Journalists don’t bother getting facts so they have spare time to write silly headlines.
