It's actually kind of funny. Kim is not going to get away with playing nice and then cheating. North Korea is going to disarm or they are not. There will be no middle ground where North Korea pretends to disarm and then, following the Iranian model, refuses to allow inspections or access.


Pompeo delivered the message and it looks like North Korea got it.
In a great understatement, North Korea accuses USA of trying to disarm North Korea "unilaterally". Yep! You got it, Kim. The US is doing it, and we are alone. Live with it.
Jeez! Kim and Trump represented the only nations at the meeting. And now North Korea wants to complain about US doing it "unilaterally"?

Just reading this -- providing another link (BBC) just for back up.

No surprises to anybody I'm sure.

They can be a normal country like South Korea or they can be a flaming pile of rubble.

At least the administration is trying something different. The isolation policies over the last few decades didn’t help. It appears being nice will fail as well. Assasination?

Let’s quit being silly assed Americans. Kim cannot denuclearize NK and remain in power! Okay? Get real!

No world leader is dumb enough to give up their only leverage in a world where the United States goes around toppling governments that they don’t like.

Sorry folks, but this is the inevitable result when you agreed to let Bush invade Iraq and when you spend 38 years trying to topple Iran. Kim ain’t dumb...YOU ARE! The United States has backed itself into a corner, and Kim is not gonna save Trump’s bacon on this issue.

But he can dance circles around Trump and delay, delay, delay......he is vastly smarter (in every way) than Don the Con. He went to school and learned things. He can read and write.

Trump is so far outclassed that this is not even a contest. We just have to hope Trump doesn't get angered and start another war.

Why is this so difficult for folks to understand?

Well said, those are their only two options.

How is that?

Would you say the same for dozens of other countries? How about Yemen? Pakistan? Afghanistan?

They have lots of options...which are much more probable than going over to the USA bloc. These involve what they are currently doing....that is, aligning themselves with the "winners" in the current world - the Ruskies and the Chinese.

If Kim signs a mutual defense treaty with the two- or even one - of them, what are we going to do about it? Nothing.

I have a good memory. Lots of folks like you were saying the Middle East was going to be glass...and Afghanistan also. Last time I looked we lost....treasure, blood and more.

Being cocky doesn't change things - to get back to why the Great Leader can beat Trump at this game.

Trump got duped bigly by Kim, so bigly that he replaced all White House photos of Macron with photos of Kim.
