Ok, so you're saying he's now doing what previous president did? I find that very hard to believe.

Three years later, we can look back and see that you found the truth very hard to believe.

Now that he has deescalated, Kim feels he isnt getting any attention so he is starting up again. Its not like the harsh words from Trump didnt work, Kim just needs constant attention.

Three years later, we can look back and see that just as we pointed out at the time, which you refused to believe, Trump's harsh words failed.

Because he's a failure.

Lil Kim is looking like a juvenile again. He's doing his 'nyah nyah nyah nyah NYAH NYAH' again. Just ignore him and get on with your own day.

Its amazing how many people fear words in print.

Yep. The term "fake news" was invented just to give a respectable cover to this fear.

It's often the case, no matter how irrelevant, though, the blame on policy failure is deflected by drawing public attention to anti-Japanese issues.

I love the reaction to my (obviously) sarcastic post above.

As it was far from obvious, I do not. To see that as sarcasm means I need to know you. I don't. So it looks more like trolling, especially when you "love" the "mistaken" reaction.

In my native Swahili we say: Vita ya panzi furaha kwa kunguru - translation: When grasshoppers fight the raven has a feast.

Who is bound to benefit from this brotherly display of comity on the peninsula?

Well, folks, these two countries, South Korea and North Korea, will soon be returning to what has happened many times in their history; being vassals of the People's Republic of China.

Just a return to the historical status quo ante.

For such a porker, Kim sure has thin skin....

Crank up the sanctions (I know there’s not much left), strengthen inspections and seizures on the high seas, send diplomats home - they’re really just smugglers anyway.

the regime is irrevocably evil and weaker than it looks.

I think North Korea has the best vintage video games. The one in the image above, not sure which one that is, but looks like fun!

That is a huge loss to the South and will teach them a costly lesson.
