North Korea Demands that the US Drop Sanctions for Little to Nothing in Return
I hope no one is surprised by this because the North Koreans have never really committed to giving up their nuclear weapons before or even after the dropping of sanctions:
North Korea has warned it could revive a state policy aimed at strengthening its nuclear arsenal if the United States does not lift economic sanctions against the country.
The statement released by the Foreign Ministry on Friday evening said North Korea could bring back its “pyongjin” policy of simultaneously advancing its nuclear force and economic development if the United States doesn’t change its stance. The North sopped short of threatening to abandon ongoing nuclear negotiations with Washington.
Still, it accused Washington of derailing commitments made by North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and President Donald Trump at their June summit in Singapore to work toward a nuclear-free Korean Peninsula. It was the first time the North said it could potentially resume weapons tests and other development activities since Kim signaled a new state policy in April. (………..)
“The U.S. thinks that its oft-repeated ‘sanctions and pressure’ leads to ‘denuclearization.’ We cannot help laughing at such a foolish idea,” it said. The ministry described the lifting of U.S.-led sanctions as corresponding action to the North’s “proactive and good-will measures,” apparently referring to its unilateral suspension of nuclear and intercontinental ballistic missile tests and closure of a nuclear testing ground.

Nothing has changed except the lack of a blue wave on Tuesday… So it’s back to blaming Trump again… 😀 😀 😀
I guess Fatty expected more cheese, wine and gold bars by now than the ROK humanitarian buses can carry.
No surprise. Hope Trump keeps up and increases the presure.
commie moon working hard to make it happen for his nK task masters.
Hey look.. the biggest problem right now is not North Korea. It’s South Korea who is enabling the North to act like that.. when are people in Washington going to realize this? Moon’s administration can be brought down easily if the US stop this bs and start condemning the South Korean government and start threatening to withdraw its military. Then publish to the public all the meaty details of how South Korea violated the UN sanctions. Once the economy goes into a tail spin due to all the rumors of US leaving, there will be South Koreans who are going to be on the streets, demanding Moon’s head. If this doesn’t work out the way I describe it, the US can still win after they withdraw from Korea. The US can pull all their people out of Korea, and threaten North Korea with an invasion without the fear of US citizens getting killed.
Appeasing, that is crazy enough to work. Not even Moon Pie jailing every right leaning journalist and blogger could keep that news quiet. Only issue is timeline on removing the troops and related activities. That could go from orderly to chaos quickly.
Need anti-Commie Moon and stooges candlelight vigils.
Koreans are dumb shit ducklings happily marching into the roaster. The US threatening to move out will only put the US on the blame line for the chaos that follows. Koreans are not accountable for their stupidity. Need a movement at the level of the beef protests.
