Follow that up with leaflets instructing the next leader that a different type of regime is definitely preferable and that Nork nukes are unacceptable. That should get the message across.
Just what “tool” did Albright give them? How to properly cook a brisket? That's what Michael Savage opined recently.
Maddy the Dancing Midget needs to be dipped into the core of that NorK plutonium reactor. Her and Billy and Hitlerly too.
North Korea is the only country to which Obowma hasn’t not visited to offer apologies and bow to Un. Give it time.
They’ve never stopped.
Buried deep under a mountain of political correctness.
Isn’t it time for a little nuclear “accident” with plausible deniability?
