North Korea: If US wants to talk, put someone 'more mature' than Pompeo in charge North Korea's Foreign Ministry has issued a stinging rebuke of United States Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, hours after the country claimed to have tested a new tactical weapon. In a statement released by the state-run Korean Central News Agency, Foreign Ministry official Kwon Jong Gun said Pompeo had been "letting loose reckless remarks and sophism of all kinds against us every day." Kwon said North Korean leader Kim Jong Un had made his "principled stand" on negotiations between Pyongyang and Washington clear in a recent speech to the country's rubberstamp parliament. ... https://www.wral.com/north-korea-if...e-more-mature-than-pompeo-in-charge/18333449/ So much... well, you know what. Remember, this is fresh after li'l Kim's visit with Vlad the Bad and his promise to act as a mediator in future US-DPRK negotiations. Trump is so with Putin, he probably prefers that!
So, switch out Pompeo with someone more mature, give that a try. Doesn't really matter so much whether the problem is really Pompeo or not.
Pompeo and Bolton are actively sabotaging the peace process with North Korea. Trump is either too stupid or too cowardly to do anything about it. Or perhaps it is both.
NK doesn’t do it that much because in North Korean government you are not going to be fired - the bullet that will crush you skull will be fired. In NK the higher up the ladder you are in government the more chances that you hold that position for the rest of your life, regardless how long or short.
Wait ... why are we talking about North Korea? Trump won the Nobel Prize for bringing peace to that region. Kim completely disarmed. Problem solved. Oh ... never mind.
