North Korea Unhappy with Rubio’s Rogue State Remarks
It was only a matter of time before someone in the Trump administration said something that the Kim regime could latch on to, to justify future provocations:
North Korea on Monday condemned U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio for calling Pyongyang a “rogue state” and vowed powerful counteraction in its first official criticism against the Trump administration.
A spokesperson at North Korea’s foreign ministry issued the statement after Rubio said the United States has rogue states to deal with, such as Iran and North Korea, during his recent interview with U.S. journalist Megyn Kelly.
North Korea condemned Rubio’s remarks for tarnishing the image of a sovereign state, calling them a “grave political provocation,” according to the Korean Central News Agency.
“It is necessary to mention how absurd and illogical it is that the most depraved state in the world brands another country a rogue state,” the spokesperson said, stressing that Rubio’s remarks reaffirmed the U.S. hostile policy toward the North remains unchanged.

In nK defense, they really are a rogue state, they aren’t acting alone and separate; they are just aligned with others we don’t like. Of course it could be a misunderstanding and Rubio meant rouge state.
Poor Kim Fatty…
