North Korea says it’s up to U.S. to choose ‘Christmas gift’
Gotta hand it to the North Koreans, they do indeed have a sense of humor.

Gawd, this guy is so weird and desperate, he’s now saying delusional things. Lol

I'll take curtain number 3.

where's that NK deal , you know because NK has all those sanctions, love letters from Trump wasted NK summits, trips to Marlago for chocolate cake. Yes there is a lot of delusion going recently but most of it is certainly not coming from NK.

Gotta hand it to the North Koreans, they do indeed have a sense of perception. Trump's entire foreign policy summed up neatly.
geronimo2006
Ho Ho Ho. I'm starting to believe NK has a sense of humor. Of course, Trump would like nothing better than a rocket in his stocking for Christmas. NK should be very wary of this president during impeachment / elections. He's unlike others.
bass4funk
Ok and your point?
Why not? After all, they’re the ones saying nutty things and continue to pester the President to relieve the sanctions, this kind of rhetoric is not going to help Kim.

Trump wishes he was as beloved, thin, healthy, and smart as Jong Un.
bass4funk
What? Oh, lol

DPRK offering a choice.
Like a box of chocolates, wow. Hmmm.... should the U.S. choose 1 or 2?
If you lift all *sanctions first, for our Christmas present we will only fire off our multiple super huge rocket launcher again.
If you do not lift *sanctions we will start testing ICBMs again. Psssttt..........watch this Abe!*Can anyone explain why DPRK has been hit with such unreasonable and unfair sanctions anyway, peeps?
PS Did we forget to mention that the nuclear path is non-negotiable?
Sneezy
North Korea is a rogue state which routinely engages in torture. It is a bad place.
nandakandamanda
For anyone in DPRK who may have absent-mindedly forgotten.

Nobody in NK has access to the Internet.

Ok and your point?
point is pretty obvious I would think. well obvious for people that dont support Trump

NK has been under sanctions for over 20yrs , still hasnt stopped them making nukes and the missiles to deliver them , how many has he tested under Trump, ive lost count.

That Kim played Donny like a fiddle and Donny capitulated to Kim’s demands to halt the war games and appeased Kim by cancelling the sanctions Treasury wanted to put in place.

I want some tubby guy creeping down my chimney and dropping a load into my stocking.

LOL, in what universe did that happen? The CNN bubble seems to have lost all connections to the real world.
Sneezy
So tell us which sources we should check WilliB. This is the fourth time I've asked you but you always become very coy.

North Korea says it's up to U.S. to choose 'Christmas gift'
And here we are with this idiotic president who's probably going to send a Christmas card back to this murderous dictator thanking him for his kind offer while another missile tests takes place. What a president!
Chip Star
The universe in which rational adults live.
I wouldn’t know what CNN says because I don’t watch it.
bass4funk
And if they’re content to eating grass and bark, that’s on them. Kim will never get what he wants for his country.
Kim is not that smart, he talks tough and gets nothing and zero sanction relief, good lord.
So did I under the previous Presidents.
NorwegianboyEE
How can North Korea be so terrifying yet simultaneously hilarious at the same time?
lincolnman
Well, well; what is this? A lovers spat?
Kim: Donnie, we'll give you made up dirt on Biden, you give us Peace treaty - howz that sound?
See, we know how to do quid-pro-quo too... Send over Crazy Rudy and I'm sure we can work a deal...

Kim the generous christian brother. Merry Christmas to you too!
peace be with you!
Wolfpack
Thank goodness Trump’s game of footsie with the little Commie is going nowhere. I would be more worried if Trump made a deal. We all saw how the US was suckered when Obama knuckled under to the Iranian Mullahs.
Toasted Heretic
I wonder who that reminds the rest of the world of?
bass4funk
Ok and?
Definitely NO lie on that one.

The feeling is mutual.
1) No one will visit him. I mean, it’s not like every nation will book a flight through Expedia.
2) Kim is the one bugging the crap out of Trump for sanction relief, so if it meant nothing to him, then He wouldn’t have meltdowns like these.

bass4funk: "Gawd, this guy is so weird and desperate, he’s now saying delusional things. Lol"
Can't tell if you're talking about Trump or his hero (and therefore yours) Kim, since they are two peas in a pod (except that Kim has Trump beaten on intelligence hands down). Either way, I see you've got the nervous "lol" out again. Can't blame you. If I'd invested as much as you have in a man you yourself called a lunatic, I'd be nervous and scared, too.
bass4funk
Not mine.
Yeah, liberals keep saying that and Kim is the one sending out threats and firing missiles and wanting sanction relief, so it would seem not so, especially if you are in the begging position.
No, just think it’s very, very hilarious.
But I evolved, so....

Awwwwwww, where's the lovey-dovey between Kim and Donnie? Didn't they make that 'historical' moment together at the DMZ this past July 4 (with Donnie's daughter/GF in tow)? And isn't Christmastime supposed to be a time of sharing, good will and love?
Absolutely so. Little Dirtbag Kim has the 'Chosen One' by the tail, it appears. LOL or SMH. Laugh or cry. Take your pick.

I can't get the image out of my head of the Rocket man in a Santa hat flying across the world on a nuke decorated with jingle bells and Christmas lights....

Fake news. Trump cancelled new sanctions.
mike1492
Christmas gift? Hmm, peace on earth and goodwill to all. Is that possible, bet President Kim can't do that one.

Well played, gentlemen.
I double-dog dare Donny to stand up to Kim.
extanker
Wow. That's just great. He opens a damn ski resort that can house a whole 4000 families while millions of his people starve.
I'm not sure what the point of you posting this is. It doesn't show that NK is doing ok, it just shows that Kim is wasting what limited resources he has on building a damn resort. The man is insane.
Strangerland
Trump: three years in, and he's dropped war games, prevented new sanctions, and has only written "love-letters" with Kim.
He's weak and ineffectual, and is just kicking the problem down the road to the next president.
Weakest president on NK ever. Period.
extanker
To be fair, that is what pretty much every US president in North Korea's history has done.
bass4funk
And Kim still can’t get the sanction relief he wants that hangs around his neck like an Albatross.
