The article is no help but the U.S. military and the South Korean military have been holding naval drills just outside North Korean waters for decades. Its pretty obvious by their choice of location they are meant to rattle the North Korean cage. This is part of the reason why North Korea went nuclear. Military goons refuse to give peace a chance. All they know is attack and harass.

Heck NK has been saying this for years. Trump is naive to think that his BBF is going to bend over for him just because that had some talks together!

So much for trump's beautiful love letters from kim. Who could think N. Korea could be so difficult? But it's ok, no one else could do it, only I could do it, and I'm the chosen one. Maybe I'll buy N. Korea.

Well, guess Kim will have to tighten that belt notch in some more. At this point he’s going to look like Iggy Pop if this continues.

In other words, same old, same old. Nothing has changed, other than Mr. T making himself look like an ignorant fool.

Economic sanctions have limited power over Kim because he is a dictator, which by definition means he does not have to concern himself with the welfare of his people. A dictator's main concern is holding onto power. For that he or she needs a strong police state, and a military that is fanatically loyal to the dictator. Whereas in SK, Japan, or the U.S., politicians have to have at least some regards for the concerns of the voters, dictators need only concern themselves with how to ensure that the people under their control do not revolt.

Dictators are more concerned about foreign military intervention than about economic sanctions, but since Kim now has nuclear weapons and the ability to deploy them, any aggressive military actions against him would be very costly. Given what happened to Khadaffi after that dictator gave up his nuclear program, Kim will never, ever give up his nuclear weapons.

The hypocrisy continues. Trump supporters and Fox News were bashing Obama when he said he would have a dialogue with enemy states. Yet, here is Trump cozying up to despots like Kim Jong Un and Putin (in fact, they love each other), and Fox News and Trump supporters love it and praise him for it.

Add in the fact that I'm pretty sure that if Obama had declared himself "The Chosen One", Fox News and Trumpsters would bash him for it. But when Trump says it, they either praise him for it, say nothing, or make lame excuses like "He's joking".

Double standards and hypocrisy seem to define Trump supporters. So typical.

The leftist/liberals are just as guilty. Only they believe what applies to Trump doesn't apply to them. So typical.

And what are Kim and his cabinet looking up at in this photo? A UFO? NO! It's the starship with the Chosen One, Donnie Traitor - ready to kiss Kim's keister again. Business as usual.

I figured it was the incoming ICBMs after one of their 'tests' accidentally dropped on Tokyo.

...or maybe the Democrats decided to colonize a new planet.

Bingo.
