I can remember when they quoted somebody they put quotation marks around what he or she said. I guess that’s a lost art!

He has been saying that all along. Reuters is just now discovering this fact?

It has been speculated that Kim wants to stall until Trump is out of office. The Rats and the Deep State have been screaming to the world that they will remove trump as soon as they fully regain power. Could there be a common cause with Kim Jong Un? Their hatred for Trump is greater than saving the planet from a nuclear war?

That's up to little fat Rocket Man. The screws will keep tightening on his miserable kingdom and on his sponsors as well.

Sooner or later, someone's going to cry "UNCLE!"

I doubt it will be Trump.

He’s using Comey’s definition of “possible.”

Are we talking about the same man who basically says he was forced to sign over a trillion dollars in liberal utopia funding without a single inch of the wall built more than a year later? Lol.. we have Syrian refugees, more anti 2A than Obama could dream of passing and a trillion in Obamacare and union bailout taxpayer dollars.
And a man who is shopping for samples for the wall. Hint, this isn’t decorating your fourth home, it’s a border wall.
Several European countries has completed theirs.. and here we are. Impotent.

Mom, mom, mom...

Stop trying to think of Trump like some Third-World dictator. I assume you'd love nothing more than for him to just run roughshod over the other two branches of our government, but there's that pesky Constitution in his way.

So vote Hillary?

Freerepublic is the best place to see “conservatives” run around with their hair on fire 24/7 over nonsense or even fake news.

I like that he built the protypes, it is better then building a 25 billion dollar wall to find out it isn’t exactly what was needed. Smart if you ask me.

You want a wall? Vote for TRUMP republicans in 2018, and stop complaining like a 3 year old.

Kim may only know what he is told about US politics. Maybe he's been told that the Democrats will impeach and remove Trump next year and thinks that would mean that Hillary became President...who would give him whatever he asked for (for a suitable donation to the Clinton Foundation).

Or at any rate expects the Democrats to win in 2020 so he just needs to stall until then.

Yes, they have a common cause. Many of them don't seem to care what their fixation on Trump is causing U.S. a great harm. That includes RINO's.

If Trump gets tough, he is a warmonger bent on bringing nuclear apocalypse. If he tries to negotiate, he is a stupid man who know nothing about NK's nature. If he wins a war, they will rail against damage or cost of military actions. In this situation, there is no pressing need for NK or China to make any serious course correction. Instead just they stall for a couple of years and will get out unscathed. They may even think that he will be a lame duck by next year if RINO works hard to lose mid-term election. I suspect that RINO's are perfectly happy to lose both houses. That is, it is an acceptable price for getting their control back from Trump.

Depends, can he hold his country together that long?

A starving army is not a ready army, think about it

I think he can survive as long as China finds him useful. The North Korean people have been brainwashed for 70 years—how many of them buy the regime’s propaganda? Maybe not all but probably a large number.

People start to turn when they are hungry

I think fat boy is in a corner

And I don’t think China is going to give him all the help, heck they would want him to fail so they can go in and claim the resources.

Fat Boy knows the only way to save the Korean peninsula from China is to unify back with South Korea. I believe that is slowly taking place.
