Does a “quieter” North Korea represent progress in dealing with the rogue state’s threat to peace?

On Sunday, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said the U.S. was “moving forward” with efforts to denuclearize North Korea and pointed to coordination with China, most recently on Mr. Kerry’s visit to Beijing.

Speaking on NBC’s Meet the Press, Mr. Kerry also cited a “quieter” North Korea since his previous visit to Beijing in April 2013 as evidence of progress on restraining Pyongyang’s aggression.

Never, never, never say Kim Jong-Un has been quiet.

it’s usually “quiet” before a storm.

[PghBaldy]

Is he blowing the dog whistle so Kim acts up again? Or do only conservatives use whistles?

[Sacajaweau]

My first thought also.

Regardless....what a stupid thing to say.

I fear for our troops in South Korea. Obama would go to a fundraiser while they were fighting for their lives and send them no help.

When they handed out brains, LURCH was at the back of the line.

These MF's might invade over this.

Global tranquility in the concentration camp.

Kerry is an idiot. He got caught in another open mike faux pas on FOX today, making of Israel saying that they were being very selective in choosing their targets and that “we” have to get over there right away.

Kerry is a full-blown imbecile

The only good news for North Koreans in 50 years is that potato prices dropped by half for this month because of a bumper harvest. Not good for next month though.

Psychopaths and other madmen often “go quiet” right before they act up and commit heinous acts.

North Korea furious over viral Chinese video that mocks Kim Jong-un

This admin is either full of morons or intentionally ignoring whats going on. Show me one responsible adult who hasn’t gone looking whenever thier kids go silent . My apologies if I offended morons by comparing them to this jacked up admin.

If they’re being nice to you, johnny, it means they’re “setting you up.”

[grimalkin]

Wishful thinking. He would like everyone to believe this is true so he can look good (not that Kerry is particularly hopeful in this area).

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Delusional.

[FrankR]

Hard to figure if F’n is trying to take credit for the quiet, or just trying to change the subject of his ineptness ion other fronts.

I wish this “Fonda-esque” asshole would go away!

[SMARTY]

Since WHEN did he EVER get it? The only thing he ever “GOT” was a cushy job handed to him!

Grasp at those straws, John. Grasp at those straws.
