Rare talks between military leaders from North and South Korea have got off to an unusual start with one of the North Korean generals recalling an internet joke about the US president.
Tuesday's meeting at the border village of Panmunjom was intended to discuss the restoration of rail links after more than half a century.
Both sides had previously agreed to a test-run across the heavily-fortified border on May 17th, but the North's military must first give its consent.

Must have been pretty funny. Probably about as funny as his country not being able to feed its own people.

No, wait. It’s from Al Jizm. Probably as funny as a public stoning following by a beheading.

Truman's famous "Buck stops here," was more unbridled horse sh!t from a democrat president. If the buck stopped with him, why are we still pissing around with the nK's today?
He should have listened to Doug....
