I say: the United States of America doesn't stand with murderous dictatorships, we stand up to murderous dictatorships," Pence said, to loud cheers.

Except for Iran under the Shah, the Phillippines under Marcos, Chile under Pinochet, Paraguay under Stroessner, Panama under Noriega, Saudi Arabia, Iraq under Hussain, Uzbekistan under Kamirov (the monster who boiled his enemies alive). The list goes on and on.

How can anyone take this man's nonsense seriously?

Hypocrisy is an understatement in response to mike “I wasn’t in the room “pence.

Pence is an embarrassment. For this one time, though, I agree with him.

I don’t like Pence at all, but he is 100% correct here. It would have been a diplomatic catastrophe if Pence had shook that vile mass murderer’s hand and stood and swooned like a girl for NK’s team like the useful idiots we have unfortunately seen everywhere recently.

Ignoring this foul creature who will definitely not survive the upcoming war was the best move he could do, besides turning around and punching her in the face for her unforgivable crimes.

I hope I survive the "upcoming war" that some people repeatedly mention.

I'll be here, in Japan. Unlike Pence and those who advocate catastrophe.

This useful idiot welcomes the moves made by the mass murdering DPRK to engage with the mass murdering USA who have supported many, many other murderous regimes.

@Toasted Heretic: You do know what a useful idiot is right?

Am unsure why you would happily admit to being one.. It's very, very far from an endearing term and not 30 years ago it would have been a death sentence.

Also, I'm in Tokyo but I see the danger NK will possess a few years down the road if they are free to develop their nukes. Japan will likely be threatened with total nuclear destruction on a weekly basis and constantly blackmailed by NK. It's fine for English teachers and other foreigners temporarily visiting Japan as they can flee back home if conflict breaks out, but those who live here permanently have no such escape route.

She should have taken off her white glove and slapped him while gently whispering "Mike you make me so angly" , before challenging him to a handbags at dawn duel. Unfortuantely, the real bullets and bombs are gonna start flying right after the Olympics end.

Both sides have been using the smokescreen of the Olympics to massively mobilize their troops on both sides of the border, while the world is fixated by bobsleds and women's hockey

Yes. Which is one of the reasons why I question those who advocate war. Why I wonder what motives there are for belligerence and hoping for the destruction of the DPRK.

Nobody here is praising the regime. But every step taken towards dialogue and inclusivity can only be welcomed.

I despair of evil family cliques, be they in Pyongyang or Washington.
