North Korea Reportedly Returning Korean War Remains this Week
It will be interesting to see how many remains the Kim regime actually returns this week. Previous reports said up to 55 which is quite a large number:
North Korea seems to have completed preparations for the transfer of the remains of American service members killed in the Korean War, as it has received wooden boxes from the United States, a diplomatic source in Seoul said Thursday.
“North Korea recently took two truckloads of wooden boxes to be used for the remains repatriation. It’s expected to hand over the remains on July 27 as agreed upon,” the source said.
On Friday, the two Koreas and the U.S. commemorate the 65th signing anniversary of the Armistice Agreement that ended the three-year conflict.
The U.S.-led United Nations Command had stored the boxes at the border village of Panmunjom for weeks. [Yonhap]

What happened to the 200+ sets of remains that Trump said were already sent back?
This might have some answers:

More at the link. But it would appear that North Korea has made at least a partial delivery.
Will the North include animal bones like they have before, or are they playing it straight? Won’t know until the labs in Hawaii release their report.
In RockTroll’s world, negotiation isn’t necessary because every Western leader is too much of a wuss to resist Communism, Islam, or any other type of fascism.
BTW, 55 is better than none, and 200 is a long way from 7,800. http://www.dpaa.mil/Our-Missing/Korean-War/
My comment was one about math. Several weeks ago, Trump announced that the DPRK had returned 200 sets of remains. The news report said 55 were returned on 27 July. So is that 255 total sets of remains that have been returned? Or was Trump “mistaken” in his announcement?
Yeah. “Math”. Right. Give us a link to his exact quote. Then take it up with him. Only Democrats elect sinless community organizers.
And while you’re looking at the math, tell us exactly how many pallets of cash we gave in return for these 55.
You can hear Trump say they have “already done 200 people” on YouTube in a video-tape made of his speech to the Nevada GOP convention in June. I am sure Setnaffa will probably listen to the entire tape (many times) to excite himself, but for those of you who don’t want to listen to Trump praise himself for over thirty minutes, his remarks about how he got KJU to agree to return remains of US troops start around 4:50 or so. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Y-xFmtgE7A
And RockTroll still thinks the GOP is the same cult of personality that the Democrats joined. I’m not a Republican. I’m not a member of any political party. Rocktroll seems upset about the Billionaire living rent-free in his head.
RockTroll is too much of a wuss to kick him out.

Poor Setnaffa. In a battle of wits, he is like an unarmed man in an Anbar Province firefight. Some of the Trumpkins drink a glass of the Trump Kool-Aid from time-to-time, others guzzle it by the gallon. But Setnaffa cannot even wait for the Trump Kool-Aid to be mixed, so he snorts it in powdered form, straight from the packet.
