John Bolton: North Korea 'has not taken the steps' Denuclearize
The Hill ^ | 08/07/18 | Jordan Fabian

“The United States has lived up to the Singapore declaration,” Bolton said in an interview on Fox News, referring to the framework Trump and Kim agreed to during their summit in June. “It’s just North Korea that has not taken the steps we feel are necessary to denuclearize.”

The idea that we’re going to relax the sanctions just on North Korea’s say-so, I think, is something that just isn’t under consideration,” Bolton said. “We’re going to continue to apply maximum pressure to North Korea until they denuclearize, just as we are to Iran. The president feels very strongly about it.”

The U.S. has won some smaller victories, including North Korea's dismantlement of a nuclear-launch site and returning the remains of more than 50 U.S. troops who served in the Korean war.

Asked last week if Trump is satisfied with North Korea's progress toward denuclearization, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said the president "won't be completely satisfied until all of Korea has been denuclearized."

Talks on North Korea's nuclear program have continued behind the scenes.

I’s also like to know what the Graves Registry folks in Hawaii are turning.

Might I suggest prayers to God via His Son?

God can intervene where the best efforts of mortal man fail.

I do not know what the Lord has planned or will allow but might as well pray, I say.

Well, NK was warned. Hellfire or salvation. It’s possible that some fiery smackdowns may be in the cards. Hit some of those plants with MOABs.

Dr. Seuss on the Loose.

Wisdom through the dimmed minds of the Norkies so that Trump doesn’t have to roast them like turkeys

From the bible we can see examples of overall manner in certain circumstances.

To a bunch of enslaved dimwits, the fire and the smoke was revealed rather copiously and frequently.

I’d say hit some isolated Norkie mountain with a battlefield nuke.

My guess is that part of the thinking of the North Korean ‘leadership’ is that they will wait it out until after the November US elections, and see how strong Trump's hand will be after that. I would also be willing to bet significant money that some Democrats and/or Never Trumpers have made back-channel overtures to North Korea to undercut Trump's negotiations.

I don’t think the NK military and leadership are completely in sync. It tends to happen in rogue regimes. This is why Un felt he had to mortar a few generals at the outset to show them who is boss.

That is what I would do. Tell the NORKS to leave the sites, drop a MOAB, then move on to the next site. By the end of the week, job accomplished.

Another way to say that is that god knows that a crazy dictator is hold 23 million starving people hostage with nuclear weapons and doesn't do anything.

Satan was let loose on the planet in the Garden of Eden.

God gave humanity a choice. We all chose incorrectly.
