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

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”.

1) Hostages freed
2) Site destroyed
3) N Korea begging for another chance

Not bad.

What a headline.

The Telegraph has outed itself as being part of Team Kim.

That’s not the only good news. And by the way, people should study the history of the Korean War with an emphasis on finding out which two nations were behind the North and using the North in that war.

“The text of the administration’s Nuclear Posture Review, released earlier this year, specifically cites the importance of dual-capable aircraft (DCA) in Europe and states that a nuclear-armed F-35 is fundamental to deterring Russia.”

“You talk about your nuclear capabilities, but ours are so massive and powerful that I pray to God they will never have to be used.”

That is not a threat. It’s an expression of readiness.

And the new, improved B61 Mod 12 nuclear weapons dropped from F-35s will be that bunker buster.

Voice Mail from Little Kim:
“Call Me!
Don’t be afraid to just Call Me,
Call Me, and I’ll be around!”

This summit was scheduled too soon anyway.

Schedule it in September, when people are paying attention to the news and it'll give Republicans a boost for the mid-terms.

... Little Rocket Man was attempting to flex a flabby muscle when North Koreans didn't show for the planning session in Singapore last week. Trump just put them on notice that you do not play vapid childish games with America.

..... They just got spanked by the adult in the house.

……….in a completely different way, the Little Rocket Man and his fellow bosses of the North Korean people are worse than our MS 13 punks.

They’re animals. Look what they’ve done to the North Korean People for 60 plus years. Tens of thousands have starved. Makes the MS 13 punks look like choir boys.

I suspect the Chinese called LRM into their office in China and showed him a bullet with his name on it.

NK is stalling and game playing. They have no intention of ending their nuclear program.

We will have to end it for them if and when Kim makes one wrong move.

That’s just retarded. A bomb armed F-35 has roughly a 600 mile strike radius. The F-35 is NOT some new nuclear warfare game changer.

Astonishing claim.
