Pyongyang, North Korea (CNN) — A North Korean official said recent remarks by Republican frontrunner Donald Trump are "absurd and illogical," in a rare interview granted to a CNN team in Pyongyang.
Trump suggested the U.S. military should withdraw from key allies South Korea and Japan, and both countries could instead arm themselves with nuclear weapons.
"Donald Trump's remarks are totally absurd and illogical," says Ri Jong Ryul, deputy-director general of the Institute of International Studies in Pyongyang.
"The U.S. tells us to give up our nuclear program, is preparing a nuclear attack against us, and on the other hand would tell its allies to have nuclear weapons. Isn't this (a) double standard?"
Pyongyang has not officially responded to Trump's remarks. Last week, North Korean propaganda attempted political satire -- adopting the voice of Abraham Lincoln -- scolding President Barack Obama for U.S. nuclear policy.

P!
Thus sayeth the even crazier relative of Kim Jong Mentally Ill.
TRUMP’s statement is plain right .
WW2 is finished and Japan AND sOUTH kOREA are ALLIES and independant
I saw a documentary of the life of North Koreans several years ago. About 1/2 the education system is simply brain washing the population that the US is about to invade. I have wondered since then if the withdrew from S, Korea if the North would collapse because they no longer had an enemy.
So...using the type of logic that many Cruz supporters have been using, Ted Cruz and the Norks are basically the same?
CNN. The mouthpiece for North Korea.
Wouldn’t they claim that they ‘won the war’ and use that as propaganda?
“Trump suggested the U.S. military should withdraw from key allies South Korea and Japan, and both countries could instead arm themselves with nuclear weapons.”
Lie of omission. Trump wants the US to be paid for our services - if the countries don’t want to pay - we walk. They will most likely pay. Trump’s been saying that since 1988.

Don’t leave out AP. It has a permanent office in Pyongyang.
Propaganda to accomplish what?
To rally the people.
Trump has all the right enemies.
“Wouldn’t they claim that they ‘won the war’ and use that as propaganda?’
But what do they say when the economy didn’t improve?
Without the US boogeyman they cannot justify starving their population.
Alternately they might decide that since the US wasn’t there they’d try and attack
Hah? What? Then Hu gives a damn what this anus says?
Good points. It will be interesting. I’ve often wondered if I would see the fall of the Norks in my lifetime.
I guess we can see that the genocide class are not Trumpsters
Gee I better rethink my vote!
Nah I think ted pretty much would blow them away if they crossed the line, too
Thing is they are smart enough to not want nukes in the hands of the Japanese or roks because if attacked they just might hit back sooner
Nothing would change in their shitty lives, and the Boogieman would be gone.
