North Korea says future of Trump-Kim summit is up to Washington: KCNA

SEOUL (Reuters,AFP) - North Korea's vice foreign minister said the future of the summit between Pyongyang and Washington is "entirely" up to the United States and condemned a media interview by US Vice President Mike Pence in which he compared the North to Libya.

"We will neither beg the US for dialogue nor take the trouble to persuade them if they do not want to sit together with us," said Choe Son Hui, according to a report by North Korea's central news agency on Thursday (May 24).

Choe said she could suggest to leader Kim Jong Un that North Korea reconsider the summit, set for June 12 in Singapore, if the United States offends the North's goodwill.

"We got 2 hard noses here and one has a weak hand."

Exactly right. Like many others here, I witnessed the end of the Cold War. To the very end, the USSR blustered and postured as if they were a force to be reckoned with, but in the end, Reagan, Thatcher, John Paul II, and Walesa called their bluff and stared them down. They crumbled like the deck of cards they always were.

If you're going to get pissed at Sessions, then you need to get pissed at Trump as well. After all, if Sessions were corrupt, Trump is tolerating it then. He's Sessions boss!

Now I dare you to post some screeching screed denouncing Trump. Go on. Here's a couple of shots of Jack's to give you some liquid courage.

Complete BS. Trumps hands are tied because sessions stabbed him in the back. Your unreasonable and perversely unyielding devotion to sessions in mind boggling. The punk is ether so far in over his head that he is curled-up in the fetal position sucking his thumb. Or, as I believe, he is a traitorous bastard POS the likes of which we have not seen since john wilkes booth.

“Anyone remember the Hussein brothers Uday and Qusay?”

Yeah, I do! The last time I saw the two of them, they were lying dead on slabs with their guts sewed back together like footballs from their earlier autopsies!

Triple E, you need to hang it up! A lot of people here are tired of your screed. If you love Sessions so much, the two of you should go get a room and stop bothering the rest of us so incessantly!

Yes, and to confirm your findings you need to get in front of a mirror!

How is the head of the Executive Branch's hands are tied?

Sessions REPORTS to Trump. If he recused himself, he had valid reasons to do so, at Trump's blessing.

Have you even read the Constitution? Hell, do you even know how to spell it young man?

“My NUTS does not pertain to a psychological state.”

You really missed my “intended target.” I wasn’t making any reference to your genitalia, but rather to your countenance. But you go right on defending the indefensible with your “love” for Jeff Sessions, because, for the moment, he’s managed to hamstring the President. But you watch when this whole business comes to a close, and I will bet you Sessions is fired so fast, he will pull a vacuum on the Oval Office as he exits with “his NUTS” in his hands!

I did, and it promptly shattered.

But you have no problem slavishly spewing your devotion for Trump though. If Sessions is Deep State or doing a horrible job, who does that reflect on? Think about it, assuming if your cranium hasn't been shrunken by consuming one too many cases of Natural Ice.

BTW, here's is the origin for "NUTS!"

To the German Commander.

NUTS!

The American Commander.

The German major appeared confused and asked Harper what the message meant. Harper said, "In plain English? Go to hell.

Sounds like China is getting in little Kim’s ear again. POTUS alluded to this in his press conference with South Korea’s Moon yesterday. He’s onto them.

What’s China’s immediate aim? My guess is that Xi has already accepted a denuclearized North Korea as inevitable. POTUS left him no choice. But China doesn’t like the friendly, pro-western vibe Kim had been sending out. It’s one thing to have your client state give up its nukes. It’s another to see them become allied with the U.S. Xi is trying to influence the terms of whatever agreement is reached.

“Remember, Ghadaffi was being a good boy and Cooperating until Obama, Hillary et al Launched the Arab Spring.”

Precisely. It was Obama who screwed up the Middle East.
