Given that NK is reverting to it's rhetoric and not explaining what the problem is, I have no idea what NK is talking about here. The denuclearization? That's been policy since forever.

Gangster-like mindset does describe Trumps attitude towards diplomacy though.

[Descan]

'Gangster-like' is a quintessentially Norky way to describe the US though; they do it all the time. Have for decades.

Well as the phrase goes, a stopped clock is right every couple decades or so. Wait, that can't be right...

Depends on how big your... clock... is.

Apparently, just because it's North Korea that states the truth it is disqualified. The US is by all means a gangster on the international stage. From Teddy "Speak softly and carry a big stick" Roosevelt stating gunboat diplomacy and intimidation as the "correct" diplomacy to the Monroe Doctrine establishing two continents as the gangster's turf.

North Korea is a shitty place and has little excuse. This doesn't change the fact that the US is an exploitative, colonialist and imperialist thug, who claims to have reformed and to never have been a criminal.

[Descan]

Wasn't saying that it's wrong, only that it's not specific to Trumpian diplomacy.

[SaberToothTiger]

I know, Descan. I was speaking to nobody in particular, really.

I can't stop thinking that 'fast denuclearisation' involves sending everything nuclear down south, on the top of rockets...

Well, technically, if you launch all your nukes at somebody else you no longer have any, so goal accomplished.

Chalk up one victory for peace.

As peace talks with the untrustworthy western doddard collapse, BEST KOREA once more resumes the nuclear vigil!

The enemies of the JUCHE EMPIRE cower before the might of our fearless leader!

[smjjames]

I wouldn't be surprised if he was getting pressure from factions who are going 'told you so' at him and want to resume missile tests. As ruthless as he is, he can't eliminate every faction.

Supreme Leader gets no votes, Sister gets loadsa votes.

(But nothing has actually changed. Or has it?)

[smjjames]

My guess is that it's a method of cementing (as farcial as the whole proccess was) her legitimacy as successor or regent in case anything happened to him.

[nenjin]

Kind of an Ivanka Trump thing going on, methinks. Easy on the eyes, another layer of separation between the Supreme Leader and those that need to deal with him. Building the image of a "family" rather than a lone dictator.

[Kagus]

I thought all Ivanka does is try to cheat her way onto military flights for shits and giggles.

Like many other White House tell-alls that have been published during Trump's first term, it is said to paint an unflattering picture of the Trump administration as chaotic, with discord among its senior staff.

No, really?
