Kim Jong-un Called Chinese “Liars” and Prefers Keeping in U.S. Military in South Korea to Prevent Chinese Dominance
Some interesting quotes from Kim Jong-un in Mike Pompeo’s new book:
North Korea and its leader Kim Jong-un are not bothered at all by the U.S. military presence in South Korea, former U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo argued in a memoir published Tuesday.
They rather consider U.S. troops in South Korea as a protection against Chinese dominance, according to Pompeo.
Pompeo said the North Korean leader had raised the issue of U.S.-South Korea joint military exercises during their first meeting in Pyongyang.
“I insinuated that he was a little hypocritical to get worked up about them, given how his planes and rockets could within minutes, or perhaps seconds, lay waste to the city of Seoul, South Korea, a city of ten million people and only a few dozen kilometers from the demilitarized zone (DMZ),” he wrote. (…..)
Pompeo said he had also told Kim that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) had “consistently told the United States that American forces leaving South Korea would make Chairman Kim happy.”
“At this, Kim laughed and pounded on the table in sheer joy, exclaiming that the Chinese were liars,” wrote Pompeo.
“He (Kim) said that he needed the Americans in South Korea to protect him from the CCP, and that the CCP needs the Americans out so they can treat the peninsula like Tibet and Xinjiang,” he added.
Pompeo also offered to U.S. policymakers: “expanding U.S. missile and ground capabilities on the Korean Peninsula won’t bother the North Koreans at all.”

You can read more at the link, but Kim also told Pompeo that he was willing to denuclearize which I have never believed. So saying that he doesn’t mind the US military presence in the ROK just may just be something Kim may have thought Pompeo wanted to hear.
Kim may have been willing to drop his nukes if the US would have been more trustworthy.

You had me at Penìs…
…but I gotta say that was the worst pr0n ever.
Kim may have been willing to drop his nukes if the US would have been more trustworthy.
So setnaffa.
You do admit that Trump made a big mistake by listening to the warmongering Bolton and walking away from an opportunity in Hanoi.
Kim will never drop his nukes.
America and China are untrustworthy. Nukes are the only thing which makes them grudgingly act trustworthy.
After watching the response to covid, I have a lot more sympathy for North Korea.
North Korea is working FOR its people.
People love to be kept in fear, told what to do, stripped of their freedom, have their economy minimalized, locked in their homes, required to have papers to engage in normal activities, given meaningless hoops to jump through, etc.
North Korea was taking care of its people long before the west figured all this out.
Don’t ever change, North Korea! You are leading the future!

CH, as far as pr0n goes, Modern China doesn’t get much better. But at least we know what our bots watch.
