North Korea: No more talks until U.S. ends 'hostile policy'

Well, what happened to the "love fest" - you know, exchanging of love letters, etc.

What a fiasco - Kim builds more nukes, enhances his missiles to include gaining an SLBM, shows his public he's a strong leader standing up to a US President, who has come to visit him on his turf, and Russia and China help him evade sanctions.

Donnie capitulates and cancels exercises, praises the killer of Otto Warmbier and millions of his own people, and looks like a weak old man.

Maybe "dotard" was more accurate than we realized....

But North Korea says the US poi it is “hostile”. So it’s likely your analysis is just a politically based partisan attack. Oh now Trump is “old”? That’s rich from the Dem party of old white people.

The statement said the Stockholm talks "made us think they have no political will to improve (North Korea)-U.S. relations and may be abusing the bilateral relations for their own partisan interests" at home.

Sorry Kim, it wasn't that Trump wasn't genuine, it's just that after the photo shoot he had know idea what to do next.  Or cared really.  The main thing was the photo shoot because no other US president had ever done it before.  He has no idea how to negotiate an agreement with NK which is why nothing has happened or will happen in the future.  Eventually he will turn on you as he eventually does on all his "friends" (except Putin).  Trump appears to not care for Americans so don't get your hopes up that he is going to help NK anytime soon.

What's a "US poi"? And I think you need to do a little more study of the demographics of Trump's base...

Kim Myong Gil said whether North Korea will lift its self-imposed moratorium on nuclear and long-range missile tests...

They aren't stupid enough to do that.

Trump is useless on North Korea.

I am sure that's mentioned somewhere in 7the art of the deal'!!!

Hiding failure by proclaiming success.

Not surprising for donny, he's made a career out of failing businesses , while touting himself to be the greatest businessman ever.

But what's wrong with his minions???

The Racist Card will not help them find employment once donny is out.

North Korea will not discard its nukes until after a peace treaty is signed. As long as the two sides are still technically at war it is correct for them to have that stance.

Unless America sign's a peace treaty this will stall out and maybe slip back to how it was a couple of years ago. A treaty should be signed, some nukes handed over, some big sanctions removed, the rest of the nukes handed over and then all sanctions removed and relations normalized.

The US still wrongly believes it can dictate terms for most negotiations it has with many different nations on many different issues. It can not set up preconditions unless it wishes to continually fail at talks.

North Korea may be shifty but America is unrealistic, that makes for difficult negotiations and choices.

Hard times still ahead.

No failure, no win, but containment is assured. As long as the sanctions are in place Kim is extremely limited as to what he can do and accomplish.

And rebuilding them and coming back stronger as well. Trump needs a win and once this impeachment hoax is all done and he starts his second term he can renegotiate and resume the talks. Either that or it’s the Bolton Gaddafi Libya model. The Democrats could care less and as their fall further down the tubes of political irrelevancy it’s either continue the talks or its bombs dropped. Either way, Kim has that sanction Albatross around his neck and no matter how many nuke tests he makes, it’s not going to give him any relief whatsoever.

Big failure. Kim has played Trump and convinced China and Russia to help him evade the sanctions.

And rebuilding them and coming back stronger as well.

That's not going to happen...

Trump needs a win and once this impeachment hoax is all done and he starts his second term he can renegotiate and resume the talks.

Needing a win is an understatement. And you can't negotiate from Rikers Island....

Either that or it’s the Bolton Gaddafi Libya model.

That would result in millions of deaths.

And once reality comes knocking at Trumpist Central, all these friendships with dictators like Kim will seem like a bad dream.

The only real thing that everyone should hope for is some positive forward step and not war or praying for one because rhetoric can heat up on both sides whatever diplomatic resources the President uses over military force that’s should be something everyone wants.

Nobody is praying for war, bass.

But as long as the confidence trickster remains in power, Kim will continue with his brand of trolling.

Dialogue is essential. But it must be mature dialogue, not the medicine show patter we've seen of late.

Well because it hasn’t happened yet.

Far less than if you had a Democrat that would just keep the status quo or a traditional Republican that just wouldn’t put up with Kim’s antics and would give him a straight ultimatum. Trump is definitely the best bet at this point.

Exactly for the reasons I have outlined.

SuperLib: Trump is useless on North Korea

You know, it's really useless and actually counterproductive to keep saying that. He's had less than three years. Obama had eight years and didn't get anything done. You can at least wait until Trump's had his eight years. I believe that by the end of 2024 N Korea will either have made substantial progress on denuking, or the South Koreans will have taken it over. You don't, of course, being the gloom and doom anti-Trumper that you are. We'll see who's right, won't we?

-5 ( +1 / -6 )

Well because it hasn’t happened yet.

So why suggest that people might be praying for one?

Trump is definitely the best bet at this point.

Yes, one mad, delusional narcissist who goes back on deals is not enough. Clearly the answer is two headbangers. After all, what could possibly go wrong?

Exactly for the reasons I have outlined.

Glad you can admit that the dialogue has been immature and empty. Here's to better negotiations.

It’s negations or war.

Well, not nearly as the other capitulating Presidents or Trump could tap into his inner Bush....or Bolton if you prefer.

Glad you can admit that the dialogue has been immature and empty. Here's to better negotiations.

I never that they were immature, but as long as Trump has sanctions on Kim, he’s contained. But I would much rather have our President negotiate with Kim over never engaging Democrats or going to rush off to a war (Republican neocons)

No failure, no win, but containment is assured. As long as the sanctions are in place Kim is extremely limited as to what he can do and accomplish.

So, in the exact same place we were in with previous presidents that you labeled ineffective, which means you are in essence admitting that Donny is ineffective.

Which is what Donny is doing by relying on sanctions.

or a traditional Republican that just wouldn’t put up with Kim’s antics and would give him a straight ultimatum.

Are you now claiming Bush II wasn't a "traditional republican"?

Trump is definitely the best bet at this point.

So he can continue to capitulate to and appease Kim with photo ops, preventing Treaaury from implementing more sanctions, and green lighting missile tests?

It’s negations or war.

Nope. There is the third option of continued sanctions. You know, the tactic you are praising Donny for but disparaged previous presidents for using.

2 ( +2 / -0 )

It’s negations or war.

Do you mean contradictions or war - or do you mean negations as in meaning the absence of war? Either way, it doesn't follow on from your suggestion that people are praying for war, followed by your suggestion that they aren't praying for war?

But I would much rather have our President negotiate with Kim over never engaging Democrats or going to rush off to a war (Republican neocons)

I'd rather a competent PotUS (whichever of the parties can actually generate such an individual) does the negotiations.

That's not what you have, currently.

2 ( +3 / -1 )

So, in the exact same place we were in with previous presidents that you labeled ineffective,

Yes, so not engaging or going to war. There was no talk before that.

which means you are in essence admitting that Donny is ineffective.

Then that would be a lie because negotiations is an attempt and they need to be ongoing.

He should in the meantime....

Are you now claiming Bush II wasn't a "traditional republican"? 

Yes.

So he can continue to capitulate to and appease Kim with photo ops, preventing Treaaury from implementing more sanctions, and green lighting missile tests?

That’s on Kim’s part, but as long as the sanctions are around his neck, he can do with the photos as he pleases, it’s not like he’s going go to Sweden and share them at a Bistro.

Amazing watching the Trumpers spinning this utter failure and disaster. In three years what has occurred?

Kim: More nukes, new SLBM, more accurate missiles, reduced US exercises, evaded sanctions, solidified regime...

Trump: Nothing, nada; just humiliation as he talks about "love letters"....

A fool and a Loser....

Funny how haters love to criticize when they didn’t even TRY to hold talks with Kim. Lol, yeah....typical...

Kim: More nukes, new SLBM, more accurate missiles, reduced US exercises, evaded sanctions, solidified regime...

Trump: sanction continued, No let up, can increase the practice of the games at any given time, we have the Tomahawks, Carriers, F-22’s and F-35’s not to mention, nukes of our own.

Trump: Nothing, nada; just humiliation as he talks about "love letters"....

A fool and a Loser....

Kim: nothing but a few old Kodak photos, bragging rights to his people, no food, no nothing, but yeah, he has nukes, hope he likes potatoes with that.

Hilarious watching people who excoriated Obama for being willing to talk with our enemies now cheering Donny for actually doing so (and for cancelling war games, disallowing Treasury from implementing more sanctions, and green lighting missile tests).

0 ( +0 / -0 )

There never should have been any talks to begin with. I was shocked when Obama stated that he was even open to meeting with the leaders of pariah nations like Iran and North Korea. The fact that Trump actually did so is beyond comprehension. These are the worst of the worst when it comes to degenerate regimes. Stop playing footsie with these horrific people.
