N. Korea still open to talks with US as Trump threatens Kim Jong-un after scrapping summit
The Telegraph UK ^ | May 24, 2018

Posted on 05/24/2018 4:09:02 PM PDT by Hadean

North Korea said on Friday it was still open to talks with the US despite Donald Trump's threat of military action after cancelling their June 12 summit in Singapore.

Pyongyang described the US president's decision to pull the plug on the much anticipated meeting as "extremely regrettable".

"The abrupt announcement of the cancellation of the meeting is unexpected for us and we cannot but find it extremely regrettable," Kim Kye Gwan, North Korea's First Vice Foreign Minister, said in a statement carried by the state-run KCNA news agency.

"We again state to the US our willingness to sit face-to-face at any time in any form to resolve the problem," Kim added.

The US president said on Thursday the American military was “ready if necessary” to react with its allies should North Korea take any “foolish or reckless acts”.

ANYBODY would be a fool to believe them now.

What do ya mean now? Ya said that before, almost daily.

He got a taste of Trump first hand when Trump dropped kicked the talks right into Kim's lap with that in your face surprise letter. Kim might wise up..He might not. Why not hope for the best now the Kim knows he can't bull shit Trump?

Btw, are you not the one who's been saying it was going to be Kim who bailed out of this? That Kim would never attend, and those that hoped for the best were considered uninformed?

Rocket Boy got played.

That's right! And now he's humping Trumps leg. If I were Trump..I'd let fat face stew on it with a week of silence. Maybe two weeks...a month.☺

Trump could tell kim, ya know I’d like to keep the appointment but I’m going to be inspecting one of our boomers, you know, one our nuclear powered submarines that roam the seven seas, with enough firepower to bounce North Korea off the lunar surface. I’ll get back to you. Regards.

I really do hope it does a good job, I just haven’t seen it.

I hope it proves me wrong. That means our pilots come back in one piece.

Yes. Or we might say it started here.

Polish–Soviet War

Or the Prussian invasions.

Is it really politics or culture? Interesting historical studies, though, to be sure. Thank you.

You are to be forgiven for your errors and general foolishness.

Heck. There are probably many more issues that the two of us agree on as Freepers, rather than the whole general foolishness of this exercise from day one and the lost time that it generated.

Further delay in preemptive action is madness. As i have stated for months, this is about bribes. This is over. There can be no “wind down”. They abandon nuclearization 100% or we must knock them out. Trump read this for what it was — total BS. It gets no better, Un is just stalling for time!! Take them out!!

......” the journalists who attended the site blowing up show. Confined to hotel now. Not allowed to transmit, or even look out windows”.......

Anybody could see that coming before the media even got off the ground from here. How utterly stupid they are for going to N.Korea.

Heck when N.K wouldn’t allow Nuclear Inspectors in you’d think these idiots would have seen the handwriting on the wall and not be that stupid to go there.

Frankly I care less what happens to them because of their ‘absolute stupidity’ in setting themselves up!

That's all these talks need to produce..one or the other. Agree to denuxlearization without any concessions or they have chosen their own demise.

China has been the big problem in this whole charade.

****************

Correct. They are both the enabler and the instigator. We are really dealing with a two country problem.

“A carrier launched F-35 from either place or both is within that 600 mile strike radius. “

An F35 launched from Kunsan or Osan has an even shorter range.
