North Korea berates Pompeo; says hopes for talks fading

This must be Fake News because Dump already solved the problem! At least that is what he keeps telling us.

This must be Fake News because Dump already solved the problem! At least that is what he keeps telling us.

At least he's working on the problem, as opposed to his predecessors who did nothing.

Yup trump is doing good for the world after initial turmoil their will be peace.

At least he's working on the problem, as opposed to his predecessors who did nothing.

Really? Because the only difference I see is a validation of the Butcher of Pyongyang's rule. Then,Trump has always had a fondness for dictators.

At least he's working on the problem, as opposed to his predecessors who did nothing.

working on the problem doing what? making demands, threats, love letters, DMZ visits. Total waste of time and money. If Trump isnt willing to give NK and major concessions then nothing Trump does will change anything except all out war. We know how many Koreas will die if that happens. Kim is better off just waiting until Trump leaves office probably have more chance to get a deal done without him

President and Secretary of a state don’t seem to be on the same page. It’s been too long. The two Koreas need to reunify. The Germans have done so. Koreans need to come up with a plan by 2045...One Korea.

America got once-in-a-history (because this has never happened before) opportunity to actually change a regime for good, through democratic and diplomatic means. But all I keep reading is North Korea:" WE ARE ANGRY! AMERICANS NOT TREAT WELL! DIPLOMACY FAILS!". Why can't American diplomats try just a little bit harder and agree to more in hopes of easing tensions in Koreas? It might seem like a "weak" move to many rednecks, but they will choke on gasoline in a decade either way; What matters is that Korean children will stop living in fear, both Koreas, in a course of several generations. But the first stone for that harmonic foundation for Korean co-existence has to be laid now. Pompeo made a mistake trying to play on both sides, he is a stupid fool and a fossil. He only cares about his own reputation and position inside the American regime. But he is a top diplomat. Who is then supposed to help dismantle North Korean regime by peaceful means, bringing brighter future to the peninsula?

If Trump isnt willing to give NK and major concessions then nothing Trump does will change anything except all out war. 

Oh yeah, and as soon as Trump makes any concessions you people will be like "Dump capitulates!"

 Kim is better off just waiting until Trump leaves office 

He can't wait until 2025, the NK economy will implode before then from the sanctions.

Koreans need to come up with a plan by 2045...One Korea.

I'm pretty sure there will be one Korea by 2045. Earlier than that I think.

One way or another.

The only way Korean unification will ever occur will require the end of the Kim dynasty. I don't see that happening soon.

"Americanism - it means telling the truth about the challenges we face," Pompeo said.

The nerve! smh

Oh yeah, and as soon as Trump makes any concessions you people will be like "Dump capitulates!"

And? Fail or capitulate... whichever... if it were Obama "you people" would have said exactly the same or worse.

working on the problem doing what? making demands, threats, love letters, DMZ visits. Total waste of time and money

Talks and talks take time....sometimes, a long time.

. If Trump isnt willing to give NK and major concessions then nothing Trump does will change anything except all out war.

Well, Trump won’t reward NK with bad behavior by giving him sanction relief, so it’s keep the sanctions in place and possibly add more in the future OR it’s back to saber rattling which will definitely annoy liberals and make them go ballistic, either way, liberals will never be satisfied with any outcome, so just relax

We know how many Koreas will die if that happens. Kim is better off just waiting until Trump leaves office probably have more chance to get a deal done without him.

No, because any Democrat that will come in will allow him to keep his nukes and on top of that give in to sanctions, they saw how the last administration dealt with Crimea, if I were Kim. I want a Democrat in office as well.

liberals will never be satisfied with any outcome,

None that Trump could produce anyway.

Exactly, so you made my point for me, so it really doesn’t matter what liberals or Dems think at this point, so Trump doesn’t need to worry, he should do whatever he thinks is right and liberals will just have to deal with it.

he should do whatever he thinks is right and liberals will just have to deal with it.

It's not only liberals though. That's the thing. It's everybody. Trump can't make things any better and everybody will just have to pick up the pieces.

It's not only liberals though.

That complain, mostly. The Neocons just want to remove Kim and Trump won’t do that, it would be a stupid thing to do at this point and time.

That's the thing. It's everybody. Trump can't make things any better and everybody

You and I don’t know that, all the more reason to keep the channel of communication open, also liberals didn’t care about Crimea and now they care about Kim? Relax.

will just have to pick up the pieces.

If a Dem is in office you most certainly would.

You love neocons, though. You’ve said “thank God for John Bolton” more times than you’ve mangled an English idiom.

at this point and time.

Like that.

You and I don’t know that, 

Yes we do. This is North Korea. You're just afraid to admit it because it would mean you've been wrong all along.

If a Dem is in office you most certainly would

At least there'd be something left to pick up.

Talks and talks take time....sometimes, a long time.

Why is it okay for Donny to talk, but it was the epitome of weakness for Obama to talk?

Well, Trump won’t reward NK with bad behavior by giving him sanction relief, 

Except canceling the treasury sanctions, which was sanctions relief.

No, because any Democrat that will come in will allow him to keep his nukes and on top of that give in to sanctions, they saw how the last administration dealt with Crimea, if I were Kim. I want a Democrat in office as well.

No politician, dem or republicans, want Kim to have nukes. Stating either do is asinine.

Crimea didn't have nukes and wasn't under sanctions. Sanctions increased on Russia after Crimea.

any Democrat that will come in will allow him to keep his nukes

So instead we have Trump, who lets Kim keep his nukes and test his missiles while claiming that he's solved the problem. Unless I missed some big news, Trump has achieved nothing more than these hypothetical Democrats you're so sure about.

But hasn't this been the game NK has been playing forever? Act like they're ready for talks, get some concessions/aid, then fire off some missiles, then nitpick about something and walk away from the table. Repeat again.

Trump’s Nobel prize dreams are getting Pompeod.

You love neocons, though.

Don’t hate them, just don’t agree with them on this one.

You’ve said “thank God for John Bolton” more times than you’ve mangled an English idiom.

I do love me some Bolton, I do love his tough stance geopolitically, but on this, he should be a bit more patient.

Yes we do. This is North Korea.

No you don’t, but what’s your point?

You're just afraid to admit it because it would mean you've been wrong all along.

Then that would mean, I am lying and I don’t lie so.....

At least there'd be something left to pick up

We saw that with Crimea, sorry, but No thanks!

Zero progress. It defines Trump on the world stage.

Zero progress. It defines Trump on the world stage

Don't think that defines him, to the haters, anything he does they’ll whine, but having that open dialogue that other Presidents don’t is definitely something to closely watch.

Why is it okay for Donny to talk, but it was the epitome of weakness for Obama to talk.

Obama didn’t try, but when there’s $$$ attached to a deal he was right on it. Crimea and North Korea have zero financial benefits.

Except canceling the treasury sanctions, which was sanctions relief.

First round of sanctions are still on, crippling, that’s why 3 people had to pay with their lives because Kim couldn’t get what he wanted.

No politician, dem or republicans, want Kim to have nukes. Stating either do is asinine.

You are free to believe that.

Crimea didn't have nukes and wasn't under sanctions. Sanctions increased on Russia after Crimea.

Ukraine is an ally and once again you made my point, no reason to help an ally, nothing to financially gain.

bass: Don't think that defines him

Well obviously in this case it does.

Obama didn’t try

Obama had a standing offer to talk with North Korea, for which Fox News crucified him for. Surely you've seen the video.

No you don’t, but what’s your point?

That this is North Korea and we do know nothing is going to come of it.

Then that would mean, I am lying and I don’t lie so.....

Don't even go there.

We saw that with Crimea, sorry, but No thanks!

Saw what exactly... a war not start.

Don't think that defines him, to the haters, anything he does they’ll whine,

I'm a hater. I'll freely admit that. I think he's a fool and so are his supporters who seem to think he can do no wrong... but... I'll be the first to congratulate him if he's successful. He won't be though... as has been pointed out by many posters, zero has been achieved except for more advanced weaponry being developed and tested by North Korea. 4d chess huh? Whatever you want to call it, Trump is being played.

Well obviously in this case it does.

I don’t think so.

Obama had a standing offer to talk with North Korea,

BUT he didn’t.

That this is North Korea and we do know nothing is going to come of it.

You and I don’t know that. You guys didn’t know that Trump was going to rip up that disastrous treaty with Iran thankfully.

Saw what exactly... a war not start. 

And unwilling to help an ally.

I'm a hater. I'll freely admit that. I think he's a fool and so are his supporters who seem to think he can do no wrong...

We don’t think that, we know he’s imperfect, that was one of his qualities. Liberals on the other hand want a perfect man that’s why we have a lot of crap going on from the previous administrations.

but... I'll be the first to congratulate him if he's successful. He won't be though... as has been pointed out by many posters,

Posters? Seriously? As if that matters. Lol

But seriously, you don’t know that.

zero has been achieved except for more advanced weaponry being developed and tested by North Korea. 4d chess huh? Whatever you want to call it, Trump is being played.

If That were so Kim wouldn’t have one of his advisors killed and the other two sent to a labor camps, a man as such as Kim if he were confident and had the upper hand, there would not have been a need to off these people, but that shows how desperate Kim is to have sanction relief and he can’t get it.

You guys didn’t know that Trump was going to rip up that disastrous treaty with Iran thankfully.

Oh the one that was working. Yeah we knew... the reason was clear. But regardless of knowledge about what Trump is going to do this isn't about him but about what North Korea will do... or more to the point... won't do.

Posters? Seriously? As if that matters. Lol

Well yeah... Your posts don't often matter much.

Just ask yourself how long it's been since that happened and how much progress has been made since. Kim doesn't care about sanctions relief as much as you think he does.

Oh the one that was working.

Not according to the Israelis and the Saudis as well as other Generals and Bolton and Pompeo.

Well yeah... Your posts don't often matter much.

Ditto for the liberals as well.

Just ask yourself how long it's been since that happened and how much progress has been made since. Kim doesn't care about sanctions relief as much as you think he does

Liberals, wrong again....

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2019/02/28/why-kim-jong-un-wants-relief-maximum-pressure-sanctions/

Not according to the Israelis and the Saudis as well as other Generals and Bolton and Pompeo

All of the most trustworthy people in the world... Lol

Liberals, wrong again....

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2019/02/28/why-kim-jong-un-wants-relief-maximum-pressure-sanctions/

I'm not a liberal and I don't speak for them but ask yourself again why there has been zero progress since. Of course sanctions relief would be good for him. If it mattered to him as much as you suggest we wouldn't be seeing so much more weapons development and zero progress towards any deal.

Not according to the Israelis and the Saudis as well as other Generals and Bolton and Pompeo.

Unlike you, who have described yourself on many occasion as a bootlicker, some of us have enough pride not to take our marching orders from religious nut jobs.

All of the most trustworthy people in the world... Lol

Geopolitically, I think so.

I'm not a liberal and I don't speak for them but ask yourself again why there has been zero progress since.

I know it’s not easy and I would rather see more dialogue than saber rattling, but since you don’t like the President, it really doesn’t matter what the haters think. The only thing what matters is to the people involved in this dialogue negotiations.

Of course sanctions relief would be good for him. If it mattered to him as much as you suggest we wouldn't be seeing so much more weapons development and zero progress towards any deal.

But he still can’t feed his people, more isolated than ever, so the only thing left that he has are his bombs and nothing else. Everything else is on very short supply, just enough for him and his closest military.

Bass: BUT he didn’t.

Obama made the invitation, NK didn't accept. Un accepted, and has been rewarded handsomely by Trump. Not much on the nuclear end, tho.

One good thing to come out of this is that you've now been trained to support dialogue, which is good. In the past you were trained to speak out against Obama when he offered to meet. Now that Trump has done it you will follow the leader and do a 180. I give Trump credit for putting you on the right track.

Not according to the Israelis and the Saudis

Please show me this evidence from the Israelis and Saudis that you often speak of. Then convince me that I should take that evidence over the intelligence from the US, Russia, China, the UK, France, and Germany. Trump himself signed off on Iran's compliance as we required in the deal, so finally I'd like you to explain why Trump doesn't believe this evidence.

I did not, but if you can find where I verbally have said that

Oh! My bad, you said on numerous occasions that Americans should be bootlicks to Saudi Arabia. I assumed that you were an American too! My bad. In future you shouldn’t comment on American politics, since you’re not from there. Guess it’s just another thing you lied about. How is the Washington Post, by the way?

Obama made the invitation, NK didn't accept.

Obama didn’t push. We all know Trump is a pushy guy who always wants to make deals and find resolutions.

One good thing to come out of this is that you've now been trained to support dialogue

Been doing that since JHS.

Please show me this evidence from the Israelis and Saudis that you often speak of.

I did too many times and liberals always dismiss it, so I did my part, that’s all I can do and by the way, it’s over, the disastrous treaty is ripped to pieces, so nothing liberals can do except be patient and take it all in.

Oh! My bad, you said on numerous occasions that Americans should be bootlicks to Saudi Arabia.

No, I specifically said that the relationship between the two countries is geopolitically important has been for a very, very long time and no President Democrat or Republican is stupid enough to destroy it, Sanders would and that’s why he’ll never be President. Bet my life on that.

I assumed that you were an American too!

Well, you assumed right.

No, I specifically said that the relationship between the two countries is geopolitically important has been for a very, very long time and no President Democrat or Republican is stupid enough to destroy it, 

This is anothervfscorite of mine: The Saudis are important tonthe US because they help us neutralize terrorists they create. Lmao!

The Saudis are important tonthe US because they help us neutralize terrorists they create. Lmao!

Ok

You would hsve labeled it an apology tour.

Not only me.

What's it like to have zero integrity?

I’m not a liberal, so I wouldn’t have a clue.

No.

Yes, I did, but each time, either you guys didn’t read them, gloss over them or dismiss them, not much I can do about that.

Bass:. Obama didn’t push.

You just made that up so I'll just make up my own response. Un didn't meet Obama because he knew Obama was too strong. Trump came along and Un jumped at the chance to get concessions.

I did too many times

Oh, OK. You still haven't told me why Trump wasn't convinved of this Israeli evidence that only you speak of. Just make something up again if you have to.

You just made that up

No, I don’t play the liberal game.

so I'll just make up my own response. Un didn't meet Obama because he knew Obama was too strong. Trump came along and Un jumped at the chance to get concessions.

Ok, anyway, the indisputable fact still is, Obama could have pushed and never did, which means, he wasn’t interested, if he and his aides did, I believe it would have happened. He was able to do it with the Mullahs and Castro, but there was money involved, so......

Oh, OK. You still haven't told me why Trump wasn't convinved of this Israeli evidence that only you speak of. Just make something up again if you have to.

I never did or if you can prove the Israelis and the Saudis are/were happy with that disastrous treaty, take a shot.
