North Korea accuses U.S. of 'betrayal'

The statement by an unnamed North Korean Foreign Ministry spokesman on Saturday ... says that the United States betrayed the spirit of last month's summit between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un by making unilateral demands on the complete, verifiable and irreversible denuclearization of North Korea.

It says the outcome of the follow-up talks was "very concerning" because it has led to a "dangerous phase that might rattle our willingness for denuclearization that had been firm."

North Korea says high-level talks with a U.S. delegation led by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo were "regrettable" and has accused Washington of trying to unilaterally pressure the country into abandoning its nukes.

Gee, maybe sending Kim a cd of 'Rocket Man' didn't go over very well after all.
Guess Trump thought he and Kim were 'best buds'?

a simple-minded, ignorant, dotardly old fool.

The rest of the world just shot past us on living with North Korea.

We are irrelevant once more.

Except for 'branding' exercises - "I'm really, really tough" says the Dotard.

How long until Trump reverses again and starts up the Hate and Fear Machine...and his braindead bottom feeders, just like him!, are always good with the mass hypocrisy.

Kasporov got it right. Demagogues do not lead, they drag down until the dragged down have no other "friend" but their own bottom feeding tribe...and their catfish leader.
