They’re jacking us around again—as they have for 60 years—USS Pueblo included. Not sure why we continue to stand for it.

They play games and can be blockaded for it. Trump should tell Li Kim to bring it.

The recent Singapore summit indicates that a “bloody nose” attack on DPRK is unlikely to result in Korean War II. It may be time.

War games?

Why don’t we send in lizards and steal their rain clouds instead?

Of course they did. That’s how it works. You do follow this nasty, arrogant tactic they also do to/on the South Koreans for Panmunjom and other bilateral meetings, too?

They stand up the other side. Make them travel 1/2 the globe and show up and then zilch. Then sit in a hotel room for 3 days. They did this to the US advance team for Singapore as well... it is a psy op, a power play, and they do it to test and for other reasons as part of their “salami slicing tactic.” We are the USA. We ought to put our foot down on this “North Korean Art Of The Deal.”

"According to the (Washington) Post..."

That byline should be cause for skepticism of the entire story, especially in light of the MSM's persistent narrative to undermine President Trump's agreement with North Korea. My gut says it's BS.

True that but the resident “Chicken Hawks” praying for a war so they can strut around would rather believe the MSM. I say lets put them on the front lines if it ever came to the point where it was an actual conflict, how long do you suspect before they start crying to come home.

War is hell, and it is no game for soft hearts. Look at at all the soldiers we lost in Viet Nam because somebody wanted a war to make money and it, like the prior conflict in Korea ended in a stalemate

How about Stars and Stripes.
They are cited too
Also, are you saying this did not occur?

I’m a bit confused.

Today’ Joongang Ilbo Daily news from Seoul English edition. Major South Korean paper, journalist Sarah Kim wrote it. I have her email addrsss if you’d like—you could confirm with her:

“North fails to show up for talks in Panmunjom
July 13,2018
The United States and North Korea were supposed to discuss the repatriation of the remains of U.S. soldiers who died during the 1950-53 Korean War on Thursday but couldn’t because the North Koreans didn’t show up.

The talks would have come a month after the summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in Singapore on June 12. The meeting was arranged during U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s visit to Pyongyang last week, over July 6 and 7.

The U.S. side, led by Department of Defense and United Nations Command officials, was expected to hold a meeting with their North Korean counterparts that morning at the truce village of Panmunjom at the inter-Korean border at the demilitarized zone. “

on or around July 12th

Well, these little ambiguities when forging a deal cannot be left floating.

I hope our State department is doing better than this when finalizing the 5D chess deal.

Give it time - Trump won’t waver and things will either work out or the Norks will suffer more...

I could be wrong, but I don’t think North Korea interred any remains properly.

Are the remains scattered over a hundred thousand acres having been picked apart by scavengers? The North Korean dictatorial government of the last 50 plus years has always been a tyrannically oppressive regime fed by the bloodlusts of demented meglomaniacs.

And we are looking for order among the chaos?

It's time to tighten the screws on “Rocket Man”. Reinstitute the war games and give him a time limit to denuke and giving us complete access to visit their sites, otherwise it's parking lot time.

That’s fake news. They postponed it. It’s not the problem the fakes news is trumping it up to be.
