Shop NowNorth Korea’s “Rocket Man,” Kim Jong Un, is talking tough to cope with Donald Trump. He can’t let his subjects see how reasonable America’s president treats him. Not after the way his propaganda ministry portrays us as evil incarnate. Sending Dennis Rodman as an informal ambassador, during his first term, almost brought the Hermit Kingdom out of its shell.
Trump being nice again
Network media in the United States can’t seem to get their head around the relationship President Donald Trump has with North Korean tyrant Kim Jong Un.
Kim is terrified because the American leader keeps teasing him with ways to open his isolated nation. He’s terrified because he’s tempted.
Kim Jong Un doesn’t seem to realize that westerners have his little game figured out. He’s convinced that launching his rockets and threatening his political rivals will give him negotiating power. The tougher he talks, the more it signals he’s ready to play let’s make a deal.
Donald Trump took him up on a high mountain to show him what North Koreans might accomplish by developing their real estate assets. The problem with that is it involves “capitalism” and they’re communist.
Kim recently called all his top aides together and announced that he will be launching Pyongyang’s “toughest anti-US counteraction” policy yet. Donald Trump already mentioned that he “would continue making overtures toward North Korea.” The American president sees something in Kim that most don’t.
He’s willing to work a little harder to crack the tough nut with kindness. Meanwhile, Kim’s calling for more “proactive and offensive external activities” against the US. Maybe they were behind the hack at the treasury, instead of China.
Pushing anti-communism
Kim is currently raving that Uncle Sam teamed up with South Korea and Japan to form a “nuclear military bloc for aggression.” He’s publicly convinced that “the three allies are pushing anti-communism.”
Secretly, he knows full well that what we’ve really been doing is setting an example of what free and open society can accomplish. To secure some bargaining power against Trump, Kim’s been cuddling up to Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping.
Despite all that, and his current aggressive rhetoric, Trump “has been keen on easing hostilities.” He thinks Kim can be reasonable if we actually give him a chance to be.
After threatening Kim with “fire and fury like the world has never seen” and continually ridiculing the little Rocket Man in the media, he “became the first sitting U.S. president to set foot in North Korea.” That was a tricky feat to accomplish.
Trump ended up meeting with Kim on three occasions during his first term. After securing his second term “Trump reportedly explored possible direct talks with Kim and his team amid hopes of rekindling talks aimed at thawing out the icy relations between the two nations.”
Meanwhile, “the impoverished nation also dispatched more than 10,000 troops and weaponry to aid Russia in its bloody war against neighboring Ukraine.“
