Just tell them you’ll delay them til after the summit, and if there is a deal, then you may cancel them.

Hang tough but imho China feels it wants to keep NK firmly on the Chinese side of the ledger. They probably are offering aid if NK doesn’t compromise with us.

You may recall Kim had stated we don’t have to call off maneuvers with SK.

Testing Trump. Right on schedule.

[chajin]

Brinksmanship, doesn’t change anything.

[onedoug]

Oh, well.

While I am not savvy or learned in the ways of Foreign Affairs, this is my theory:

NOKO canceled Soko for now thinking that they could then also say as a teaser “we may cancel talks with US”

This is supposed to prompt our strong leader President Trump into saying “please don’t cancel, please let’s try” and the reality is our president won’t beg for anything.

I think regardless of what happens our president will show up in Singapore as per schedule. If NOKO has any sense at all, they will show up as well or lose face altogether.

But again, that’s just my humble uneducated opinion.

The midget rocketman was much too eager from the get go to appease our president....setup? Something just doesn’t jive here!! Did our president just got played with the intention of humiliating him??

"The United States will also have to undertake careful deliberations about the fate of the planned North Korea-U.S. summit in light of this provocative military ruckus jointly conducted with the South Korean authorities."

This sounds like the usual bluster that gets everyone in a tizzy. Kim can't get out of this without looking weak and upsetting China, and he can't afford that.

[Windflier]

The Norks can’t be trusted - plain and simple.

[butlerweave]

and so it starts ,demand this and demand that ,LOL

Kim is just trying to see if he has ANY clout. And he will quickly find out he has NO clout.

[Jack Hammer]

Here it comes.

Kim’s manic and manipulative BS didn’t stay in abeyance very long.

[trebb]

Can’t help the bluster.....they have to know the pain they are experienceing that set up the talks will only get worse if they opt out...China may push the envelope but I think they have other interests that outweigh the “hazard” of N.K. becoming a peaceful entrant into the modern world.
