And here I thought Kim Jung-un's sister (Kim Yo-jung) was the only one with an impenetrable look of steel... Touche' USA!

Ambasador Turner does resemble Kim but you’ll find pictures of the former smiling but not the latter.

Let's TALK!!! As NK now has many new nonconventional weapons due to US NATO Ukraine Proxy War. US concept hitting NK with a first strike is ancient history.

Russian & Chinese proliferation to NK, means a new US led approach based on mutual interests with NK = MUST.

Still Putin's War and still nothing to talk about with NK.

I suspect Putin has encouraged Kim to saber rattle, as a way to discourage South Korea and Japan from giving more support to Ukraine. Kim has to know that if he causes any real trouble, he will be immediately targeted for assassination.

Turner said any dialogue should seek resolution on issues including regional security, human rights, as well as the return of Japanese people abducted by North Korea decades ago - a key focus for Tokyo.

….

Go back several more decades and we can find the mass bombings and the destruction of Pyongyang by the US.

Does Turner suggest that should be part of the dialogue too?

There is literally a picture of Kim smiling at the top of this website today. Did you miss that?

What would you like to see? Restitution? Don't make me laugh. SK wouldn't have existed without that bombing.
