North Korea Vows to Nuke US, Obama Continues Negotiating
Posted By Daniel Greenfield On February 4, 2015 @ 11:17 am In The Point | 10 Comments
Smart power is just so smart sometimes.
Never known for measured rhetoric when dealing with its enemies, Kim Jong-un’s regime has lived up expectation by announcing America’s “final ruin.”
Hold your horses little Kim. Obama has got the “final ruin” part covered.
President Barack Obama and his government were branded “gangsters” and the US described as a “cesspool” in the announcement.
It takes one to known one.
It read: “Since the gangster-like US imperialists are blaring that they will ‘bring down’ [North Korea] the army and people of the DPRK cannot but officially notify the Obama administration that the DPRK has neither need nor willingness to sit at negotiating table with the US any longer.”
That was followed up by a warning that Jong-un’s military was capable of smashing North America with “precision and diversified nuclear striking means.” It concluded by insisting Pyongyang has resolved “to write the last page of US history”.
But don’t worry. Obama is still going to continue negotiating.
The United States and North Korea have been actively discussing the possibility of returning to denuclearization talks, raising the prospect of a new round of diplomacy even as Washington takes a tougher line against Pyongyang.
So we’re not negotiating. We’re negotiating whether to negotiate. This may be the final frontier in appeasement. Unless we start negotiating to negotiate to negotiate.
North Korea has not yet demonstrated its commitment to substantive dialogue concerning its nuclear weapons program, a senior U.S. envoy remarked during a visit to the region.
During his trip, Kim said he remained open and available to meet with North Korean officials. “They understood this would be an opportunity for substantive dialogue on the nuclear issues.”
“Unfortunately, we are not having a meeting on this trip.”
There’s our tough line. “You’re not ready for talks. Please talk to us.”
