Thornberry claims UK would STOP dealing with Trump over aggressive handling of North Korea
The Sunday Express ^ | October 8, 2017 | Oli Smith

Emily Thornberry has insisted that the UK can talk to the US without working with Donald Trump.

In a shocking attack on the elected leader of the US, the shadow foreign secretary said that Mr Trump's rhetoric on North Korea was intemperate, inappropriate and dangerous.

This comes as the US leader tweeted last night that "only one thing will work with North Korea" in response to failed diplomatic efforts.

Tensions between the Trump administration and Kim Jong-Un has dramatically escalated in recent weeks.

Speaking to Sky News, Mrs Thornberry said: "I wouldn’t ever change my tone with Trump.

"I would say quite clearly how we disagree on a large number of things. It's appalling what he is doing with the Iran nuclear deal, with the Paris climate treaty.

"Some people say he is deliberately acting crazy with North Korea, it makes no sense."

Niall Paterson blasted this assessment of the issues for displaying "a gulf between fantasy and reality".

The Sky News anchor explained: "You want to stand up to the US, but in reality, we need them, we need to maintain a relationship, especially after Brexit."

However, the Labour cabinet minister said:

"The US is not just the Trump; there are lots of good people there with good will.

"We will work with them and make it clear that his views are not fit for the world stage."

Yes, I remember that. In fact, I think it was to cover up the troubling sale of technology to China that Bill Clinton let the Monica Lewinsky scandal blow up the way it did.

The allegations about the affair with Lewinsky came out within a day or two of the news of the technology sale to China, IIRC. The news media, even the conservative media, jumped on it and completely failed to ask the hard questions about the national security implications of that sale. Bill Clinton could have nipped everything in the bud by saying, “Yeah, I did an intern. What are you going to do about it?” There would have been some media noise about it, but it would have died out quickly. Instead, Clinton chose to obfuscate and lie about the affair, making it into a huge deal—and completely wiping the troubling technology sale to China and gift of nuclear technology to North Korea out of the news. That was his goal. Now that these actions of Bill Clinton are coming to fruition, hardly anyone even remembers his role in bringing about the current situation in North Korea.

When Iran starts making nuclear threats, will anyone remember Barack Hussein Obama’s role in ensuring that they had everything they needed in order to advance their nuclear weapons program?

Clinton and Obama have done more harm to the country and to world peace than the Rosenbergs ever dreamed of doing. The USSR at least was kept in check by MAD. There is little evidence that North Korea and Iran will be held back in the same way.

So the UK has politicians willing to defend North Korea over the US?

The U.K. has lost the will to survive. They will become a caliphhate because they haven’t the strength to resist.

...Iran nuclear deal, with the Paris climate treaty...

"That statement alone tells us everything we need to know about this moonbat."

Yes. The Iran nuclear deal was the worst deal in human history, and the Paris Bullsh!t wasn't much better.

Seriously, nothing I can think of better illustrates the Fall of “Great Britain”, and the demise of it’s greatness as a people, more than this woman’s picture.

A picture, worth a thousand words yet again, sums up the essence, in this case of a conceited, opinionated, tone deaf, brain dead, would-be-ruler of the lower classes.

IOW, the fact is, Presiident Donald Trump can talk with the UK without working with shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry. But the media smears against the POTUS will continue. Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.

I would be so bold as to suggest, a 250 kiloton thermonuclear weapon over central London is dangerous. That was the yield of North Korea's last atomic test.

Her picture confirms that there are fat, indolent female turds in the UK. Sure am glad I did my European travels twenty years ago, because I wouldn’t set foot in the UK or the rest of Europe on a bet today!

5400 miles.

Currently out of range (the Hwasong-14 only goes 4200 miles).

But the KN-08 is coming. It has a range of 7100 miles.
