Part of the dance, or a double-cross?
We’ll wait and see.
If it’s the latter, L’il Kim will be crying a few months hence.
A very kerryesque sounding response.
Did we honestly think we could trust a Stalin-plus dictator who murders his relatives and extrajudicially throws many thousands of his citizens into some of the most brutal prison camps in human history?
Not me. Communists are liars. Nixon was a fool for his China gambit.
It will never move fast enough to suit Trump detractors.
His detractors are like 4 year olds on a cross-country driving vacation.
At every mile they're whining, "Are we there yet?".
Kim just hasn’t been squeezed enough. He is likely testing the water to see if Trump is a weak and uncommitted as his predecessors were. It’s the NK version of Art of the Deal.
First and foremost, Kim is all about protecting Kim. If he sees that he is about to lose everything, he will be very cooperative. People talk about reunification but I think that has not been on his mind. He wants to remain leader of NK but also be a respected player on the world stage. He is also a very spoiled and delusional man-child that isn’t used to being told no. Time to put his twig and berries in a vice and start cranking the handle.
My guess, they want to stall until after the mid-terms to see how strong Trump’s hand is.
So, this raises the question of who is the real power inside Noko. Gen Keane speculated the other day that it’s actually the military.
And, of course, Kim met with both Xi and Putin after his Trump meeting. Xi probably read him the riot act and Putin promised supplies.
"...The statement by an unnamed North Korean Foreign Ministry spokesman on Saturday came hours after Pompeo concluded two days of talks with North Korean officials led by Kim Yong Chol. The statement says that the United States betrayed the spirit of last month’s summit between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un by making unilateral demands on “CVID,” or the complete, verifiable and irreversible denuclearization of North Korea. It says the outcome of the follow-up talks was “very concerning” because it has led to a “dangerous phase that might rattle our willingness for denuclearization that had been firm.”
AP talking to UNNAMED SOURCES. I'll wait for the movie to come out before I would believe their tripe.
Rods from God
“My guess, they want to stall until after the mid-terms to see how strong Trump’s hand is.”
That makes perfect sense.
I’m inclined to us being played for saps. It’s the standard commie playbook.

Yep, stalling, lying and playing games.
The only thing they will respond to is strength and they know that Trump is unlikely to take any military action prior to the upcoming elections.
Lol.
North Korea doubts if Trump is bound to get impeached.
The tough stance is required for domestic consumption. After all, the Kims' are considered deity in NK.
I wonder if Kim is getting advice from the Dems and being told to hold on because Trump will soon be gone?
