Report: All Biden Administration Attempts to Contact North Korea Have Failed
Breitbart ^ | 3/15/2021 | frances martel

Posted on 03/15/2021 11:03:51 AM PDT by bitt

Unnamed alleged officials in the administration of President Joe Biden confessed to Reuters this weekend that attempts to communicate with the communist regime of North Korea since Biden took office have been met with silence.

Reuters, citing the officials, claimed the Biden administration used several traditional “behind-the-scenes” avenues to reach out to dictator Kim Jong-un in an attempt to rekindle diplomatic talks, but Pyongyang did not respond to any of them. Since Biden’s inauguration, North Korean state media — often the only metric for gauging regime sentiment in the highly secretive country — has largely ceased referring to the United States in general, outside of its typically belligerent attacks in columns about the still ongoing Korean War. One state media outlet, the relatively obscure DPRK Today, has referred to Biden as president, but the two biggest outlets — the state newspaper Rodong Sinmun and the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) — have not done so.

Prior to his presidency, state media routinely attacked Biden as a “dotard” and enemy of Pyongyang. In one particularly severe condemnation, KCNA urged the American people to kill Biden, addressing him as a “rabid dog.”

In contrast, the North Korean state appeared more cooperative with Biden’s predecessor, President Donald Trump. Trump met with Kim Jong-un in person on two occasions — the first sitting American president to hold a summit with a North Korean dictator — and maintained regular communication with the regime. The talks yielded no significant policy achievements, but North Korea ceased its nuclear weapons testing after the Trump administration led an international sanctions campaign in response to its last test in 2017.

“Behind the scenes avenues.” Obviously the tired obama retreads have worn out their mojo with Kim long ago. Biden himself has zero cred with anyone, so it looks like a long dry spell ahead.

I'm sorry, but Breitbart may have been Punked.

The Twitter 'DPRK News' is clearly satire. Here are a few beauts today

"Ides of March" observed worldwide to mourn assassination of Julius Caesar, who was distant ancestor to Marshal Kim Jong-Un.

Supreme Leader Kim Jong-Un awarded highest honours in mathematics for determination that Π = 3.14

North Korea is laughing at the virtue-signaling Democrats and their urine-soaked vegetable “Presidente”.

If they want to negotiate with senile idiots they can visit the local nursing home.

Well, well, well

Donald Trump canceled Kim Jong Un.

Kim Jong Un canceled Joe Biden.

How about that?

Now that Trump is private citizen, he just needs to develop his master plan that he showed to Kim.

No response to the ChiCom Joe administration. North Korea knows all those orders come from Beijing.

Thus the silence.
