North Korea played those negotiating its denuclearization for fools, much as Iran has been doing more recently with Obama. It must not have been difficult to do. To continue the process with Iran, and to repeat it with North Korea, makes no sense.
Speaking in the People's Republic of China on May 16th, Secretary Kerry offered North Korea a nuke deal --
Kerry explained that an Iran deal could help in showing North Korea how your economy can do better, your country can do better, and you can enter into good standing with the rest of the global community by recognizing --just like Iran-- that there is a verifiable, irreversible, denuclearization for weaponization, even as you can have a peaceful nuclear power program.
Iran has not agreed to "a verifiable, irreversible, denuclearization for weaponization" and likely never will. On April 15th, Iran disputed the accuracy of the Obama Administration's April 2nd "fact sheet," which had made such claims about the deal. In the highly unlikely event that Iran were it to claim to do accept such terms, it would "cheat" as it has done in the past. In this video, John Bolton speaks about the "deal" with Iran as well as the North Korean connection.

Nevertheless, Iran has already received many of the rewards of essentially irreversible sanctions relief, including augmented power, both military and financial, in the Middle East.
A deal like the one Iran is about to get by virtue of the Iran scam should be welcomed by North Korea. The countries have long cooperated on nukes and missile development, a matter apparently ignored during Obama's P5+1 "negotiations" with Iran.
Kerry also said,
the United States will continue to work with its partners to make it absolutely clear to the DPRK that their actions, their destabilizing behavior --unlike Iran's-- is unacceptable against any international standard. [Emphasis added.]
Iran's destabilization efforts and successes are, in Kerry's view, apparently not "against any international standard." Yet Iran does far more regional destabilizing than does North Korea -- North Korea mainly relies upon bellicose bluster (with infrequent military actions against South Korea). Iran -- a major if not the most active sponsor of terrorism -- sends its proxies throughout the Middle East while accusing America and others of destabilization. A likely "signing bonus" of up to fifty billion dollars for Iran if and when the "deal" is finalized will substantially further Iran's hegemonic ambitions and power as well as its missile and nuclear weapons development.
Here's a video of Iran having some fun:

According to Hossein Salami, Deputy Commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, Iran welcomes war with the United States:

This North Korean propaganda video purports to displays North Korean military prowess:

Conclusions
The rogue nations of Iran and North Korea are both intent upon maximizing their nuclear weapon capabilities. Both are totalitarian and have obscene human rights records. To trust either would be a gross mistake; yet that appears to be what Obama intends to do.
The only thing notably missing from Kerry's offer is a requirement that North Korea abandon the Religion of Kim and adopt the glorious "Religion of Peace" instead. That would help North Korea to fit even better than at present into Obama's policy of supporting America's enemies and rejecting her friends. If Kim Jong-un would merely recognize Allah as the superior power, perhaps he could become the first Korean Ayatollah. Obama would probably be thrilled were North Korea to become the Democratic Islamic Republic of Korea (DIRK).
This fool is likely to get millions of Americans killed.
He was in Vietnam, ya know?
Give them all of ours and be done with it.
Man is that a slap in the face. Most of us earned our decorations and did not trade form. I guess he was in Viet Nam but he did not serve. He called millions of veterans baby killers and war criminals in several wars.
*face palm*
Kim Jong will shoot Kerry with an Anti-aircraft gun
Kerry, the proud modern face of syphilitic dementia?
the Iranian IslamoNazis repeatedly threatened to nuke at least 5 (maybe it was 6, I remember NYC, WashDC, LA, SF, and ChiTown but I keep thinking Boston was also on their list?) USA cities, and to destroy their “Great Satan” outright.
The Iranian IslamoNazis also continuously export terrorism on a mass scale (Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, etc.)... and threaten to take over the Gulf States, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, Israel and Egypt. They also raid or capture ships on the high seas/international waters, etc.
These are Kerry’s “moderates”... this is the kind of behavior he holds out as a model for other countries to emulate.
Amazing.
What is he afarid of, Iran won’t be able to blow USA to smithereens with all the nuclear ICBMs Obama is making sure they get, without North Korean and other assistance?

Related, Iran backs those creeps.
SO Kerry is in fact supporting that.
Kerry was in ‘Nam?
NO FRICKING WAY!!!
Kerry, Iran became moderate?? Really? Only to you and the Marxist in chief. Iran is still a dangerous place and so is North Korea.
Funny cartoon...
With a demographic that can't identify WWII, should we be surprised that history seems destined to repeat?
Some things never change...
Kerry Lied
Millions Died
I stole it fair and square. ;’)
