North Korea: US is making 'gangster-like' demands on denuclearisation
The British Broadcasting Corporation ^ | July 7, 2018

North Korea has accused the US of using "gangster-like" tactics to push it towards nuclear disarmament after a fresh round of high-level talks.

Good.

This is being reported worldwide - in the Japanese press as well. Nothing to do with any bias of the media outlet.

What is it about the term “denuclearization” that they don’t comprehend?

Nobody in his right mind would have thought that dealing with the NORKS would be easy especially with their close relationships with China and Iran. However, we voted for President Trump for these kinds of conditions and results. The political BS has gone on too long under the dubious intentions of previous “politicians”.

Have any of these worldwide reports actually name the unnamed foreign ministry official?

Just so they understand the consequences, if they don’t do as we ask.

The foreign ministry is not part of the military. It’s what we call the State Department, but almost all other countries say foreign ministry.

Trump was on to this scam but he had to try, We all know that. But the Gig is up and its time for a knockout preemptive strike. Trump did all he could to not do this but it is now time.
