N Korea cancels talks with South Korea and warns US

You'd think that with the thawing of relations and promise of a summit between Mr Trump and Mr Kim military exercises would be put on hold but on Frisay the US and South Korea started their Max Thunder drill and Mr Kim is not best pleased.

North Korea has cancelled Wednesday's high-level talks with South Korea because of anger over its joint military exercises with the US. The North's official KCNA news agency said the exercises were a "provocation" and a rehearsal for an invasion.
It also warned the US over the fate of the historic summit between Kim Jong-un and US President Donald Trump that is scheduled for 12 June.

Some 100 warplanes, including an unspecified number of B-52 bombers and F-15K jets, began the Max Thunder drills on Friday. The US and South Korea have always insisted such drills are purely for defence purposes, and based out of a mutual defence agreement they signed in 1953. They also say the exercises are necessary to strengthen their readiness in case of an external attack.

Pretty bone headed of Mr T on this one.

Stevie Wonder could had seen this one coming.
Hopefully Lil Kim doesnt go full Bi-Polar Paranoia-gang stalking-wack out mode.

But but....I thought America and trump were the heroes that were going to fix Korea??

Have to agree, stupid thing to do. But at least I won't be one of those assholes who hopes the talks fail, those guys are douche bags.

Bruiser company this loser already

Had this drill been arranged and announced beforehand? Did Kim already know about the drill when he made the negotiation proposal?
In that event, Kim would stand condemned as the one who is playing silly games.

Kim Jung Un knows Trump is all about optics, Trump has been treating this as a done deal and claiming it as a "win." Now Un has all the leverage and the world is once again shown what a bumbling moron Trump is.

You guys wow. You really believed North Korea could be trusted? You believe it's America fault now. How could you see Korea pulling games your entire lives and now be surprised? He is either gonna give up nukes peacefully or not peacefully. He is gonna give them up. You guys act like we have to please the murdering bastards. Guys we tried for 8 years apologizing for are advantages. It didn't work and damn near wiped out are military in process. It's simple we kill them

Trump has said entire time that he hopes it works out. Not once did he pretend like Obama that it would make it all better. I'm sure if we gave Korea 150billion it would make us all better. After all Iran would never give money to Hamas, build bases in Syria , and continue building nukes after we paid them. Damn they are doing all of that. Maybe we should give Korea money and it will work better. Damn another moron Clinton tried that already. Hmm seems like there alot of morons and only one with the balls to blow there asses up. That's only way to fix it

heart of the problem
blame assignment
blame does not mean much to the starving masses

They say it´s because this military exercise.

In reality it is because the Trump-"U"SA showed the world that nobody can trust this "U"SA anymore. First the cancel talks with "U"S vasall SK, then with the Trump-"U"SA. Why doing a deal with the Trump-"U"SA, if Trump breaks the deal the other day and tells the exact opposite than the day before?

Waited for something like that since the iran deal idiocracy of Trump.

It´s the logical response to somebody who breaks deals, lies, blackmails but wants to deals with others!

I was responding to the suggestion that blame should be attached to Trump.

This is small AFTER EFFECT of the idiot tRamp handling of the Iran nuclear deal, clearly NO ONE will ever trust the USA.

Actually I am glad that NK leader finally woke up..!

Oh, I thought everything was hunky dory, kumbaya...kumbaya...kumbayaaaaa

...what happened?



Trump already has inflamed the ME now he wants to inflame, still, Asia.

That's a good one, Tramp, I'm going to use that.

Anyway, you would think the US and SK had the sense to chill those military exercises since Kim has backed off much in his
nuclear obsession.

Could be after Trump said the Iran deal was off, NK decided the same cancelling of deals would come their way. Trust issue.

according to this article, the US shortened this drill and removed every asset that could be considered provocative, no nuclear carriers, no nuclear subs, no b-1s, b-2s, b-52. it also states that this drill has actually been ongoing since mid april before kim even proposed this peace summit.

What if the talks fail ... and Trump .. makes money out of it !?!

This is the same crap the Kims pulled during the Clinton and Bush eras. Agree to halt the Nuke lab in exchange for food for the starving proles.

Just look at the chirpers in this thread: Kim finds a new reason to discontinue talks. Kim discontinues talks. Ergo, Trump is an idiot.

Kim is passive-aggressively insisting that US/SK military drills be halted until... until... when? This is SOP for tyrants. Hitler did routines like this, and got Chamberlain and the French to give up the Sudeten without a shot being fired. They gave him the Sudeten, and he took the whole of Czechoslovakia.

Kim is seeing if Trump worries about his image or legacy, like Clinton, Bush and Obama did.
