After talks, N, Korea accuses US of 'gangster- like demands'

Quotes from a recent article:

the North blasted the discussions, saying the visit had been "regrettable" and that Washington's "gangster-like" demands were aimed at forcing it to abandon nuclear weapons.

"Kim can afford to play hardball because it's clear to him that Trump, who has already told Americans they can sleep soundly because the threat is now over, badly wants a deal," Russel said. "And when you want it bad, you get it bad. Why should the North Koreans make concessions to one of Trump's aides given the president's record of undercutting them?"

    Of course ... if the matter were really about peace and possible unification for Korea, the USA would pack up their armed forces and go home and leave the matter to the Koreans to figure out ...
    Why should North Korea do anything of what the USA demands of them? Was it not the USA who conducted a war and bombed North Korea to shreds in the 1950ies, why should North Korea have forgotten that 1/3 of their population at the time was killed by USA bombs??

"And when you want it bad, you get it bad. Why should the North Koreans make concessions to one of Trump's aides given the president's record of undercutting them?"

    well ... seems more that even though Trump has told Americans something, it is not Trump who determines such matters as the ones at hand here in this situation ... there are obviously forces in the USA at work who almost desperately want total hegemony and submission by any and all countries and count on their "superior weapons" of war to bomb any country that doesn't voluntarily submit back to the middle ages.

    Hmn ... mentioning certain facts is hatred, mentioning other facts is patriotic love???
    Remaining ignorant and duped by false patriotism propaganda at least leaves on in one's supposed "comfort zone" ?

    Facts have nothing to do with it.
