Germany would lend its weight to a diplomatic push to end North Korean nuclear weapons and missile development along the lines of a past deal with Iran, Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Sunday. “I would say yes immediately if we were asked to join talks,” Merkel told weekly newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung.

Talks between Iran and six world powers, sealed with a 2015 deal for Tehran to roll back its nuclear program and submit to inspections in exchange for some sanctions being rolled back, were “a long but important period of diplomacy” that had achieved a “good end,” she added. […]

Merkel’s comments come as Washington has formally requested a Monday vote on tough new sanctions for Pyongyang at the UN Security Council.

US diplomats have called for an oil embargo, an assets freeze against leader Kim Jong-Un, a ban on textiles and an end to payments of North Korean guest workers in response to the nation’s sixth nuclear test last week. …

They were the “+1” in the P5+1 talks that resulted in Obama’s JCPOA. They must feel entitled to insert themselves in every diplomatic initiative that will result in rogue nations becoming armed with nukes.

Thanks for admitting you’re an Obamaite. Nothing you said is true, and it’s twisted to even think that a nation that continues to say “Death to America” and “Death to Israel”, never mind believing that they need to instigate a world war to induce their false messiah to come, is going to stop them.

Are you saying that Trump was mistaken (or worse, being mendacious) when he called the JCPOA a “bad deal”?

“is going to stop them” = “is going to be stopped by an agreement with Obama that they did not even sign”.

Honestly, you really think that Obama did something good for the USA here??

Well, other than being the largest state sponsor of terror for decades, promising to erase Israel from the map, and racing towards nuclear power despite being oil rich. Ahem. Yeah, sure, no threat at all. *eye roll*

Aside from storming the British Embassy in 2011, arresting 3 American hikers as spies in 2009, getting caught (by Obama!!!) cheating on an agreement and building a nuclear enrichment plant (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/26/world/middleeast/26nuke.html), sure... no threat at all... none whatsoever...

Aside from "Death to America" being such a common chant in Iran that it has its own Wikipedia page, yeah, they want only to give us hugs and kisses... SMH

(Most recently reported its use during Quds Day in June:
