Is North Korea breaking its word to Trump?

Recent comments by North Korea’s foreign minister could signal that dictator Kim Jong Un may break his vague pledge to President Trump to dismantle the North’s nuclear weapons and missile programs.

Since Kim, his father and grandfather who ruled before him all have a well-documented history of lying about North Korea’s military aims when it suits their interests, it should not come as a shock that Kim is continuing the proud family tradition.

If so, Northeast Asia could very well be headed right back to the brink of war, with few options left to avoid what could be a dangerous nuclear showdown.

While in Iran on a three-day visit, North Korean Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho said Thursday, according to Iranian media: “Although North Korea has agreed on disarmament to deliver on its commitments in negotiations with US, we will preserve our nuclear science as we know that the Americans will not abandon their hostility toward us.”

It is tough to know exactly what such remarks mean. For example, does the North want to keep its nuclear research facilities or power generation capabilities and give up its atomic arsenal? Or does it want to do nothing of substance?

It’s clear that such comments only build on North Korea’s growing dissatisfaction with America’s firm insistence on denuclearization....

Yes, and I’d be surprised if less than half of the remains they returned were animal bones.

They did it with the Brits...Aussies? Someone.

Like, here’s your remains give us things. Then they got the things and the remains were dogs with tags.

Did anyone who knows a thing about No. Korea and its leader really expect them to keep the agreements?

I think if they try to double-cross President Trump they will live to regret it. Mr. Obama no longer lives in the White House.

I did read that the US verified the remains were human almost right away. The nationalities are still in question, though.

Can’t remember which nation payed them a bunch of money...pretty sure it was the Brits.

And they got like 3 boxes of dog parts.

Should have nuked them then.

Is North Korea breaking its word to Trump?

It would come as no surprise to find out that China has its fingers in it.

"Like, here’s your remains give us things."

We gave them nothing.
But we CAN ratchet up the sanctions even tighter. The people are starving anyway, maybe we can make Lil' Kim starve a bit, too.

The neo-cons, Globalists and Never-Trumpsters certainly hope so.

Is North Korea breaking its word to Trump?>>>>>>>>>>

Of course. History shows they always do. And Kim knoows that PDJT wants to call their mutual peace intiative an achievement , so Kim is dancing the international resist Trump rumba.

However, once PDJT has achieved a more GOP Congress, Kim may find the USN once again playing close watch games right off his dog eating coasts.What Kim fails to comprehend is that his nukes will be destroyed, one way or the other.

Looks like lots of folks think the process is easy as ABC ... we truly are in a “I want it all, and I want it now” society.

They did it to Japan. Yes. They returned a set of bones not even related to the kidnapped person they claimed. I’m sure they did it to us recently, too. We should have been circumspect and low key in Hawaii until all DNA verification was complete. Those NK bastards can NOT be taken on their word.

Even if President Trump says we should begin to.

The closest “fingers” to North Korea’s intransigence belong to none other than KIM. JONG. UN.
