Vice President Pence warned in an interview on Monday that talks between the U.S. and North Korea could end like Libya's denuclearization process if Kim Jong Un does not cooperate.
"You know, there was some talk of the Libyan model last week. And as the president made clear, this will only end like the Libyan model ended if Kim Jong Un doesn't make a deal," Pence told Martha MacCallum on Fox News.
"It would be a great mistake for Kim Jong Un to think he could play Donald Trump," Pence said, adding that there is no question Trump would be willing to walk away from the talks if they prove unproductive.
"But we hope for better. We really hope that Kim Jong Un will seize the opportunity to dismantle his nuclear weapons program, and do so by peaceable means," he said.

(53,743 posts)not just North Koreans but to South Koreans also as Kim has thousands of artillery pieces trained on Seoul just a few miles south of the DMZ.
You can bet that summit will not happen, now that Bolton and now Pence have made this brazen threat.

(31,261 posts)North Korea started their crazy hunt for Nukes because we came within one key approval of nuking them. Now Trump and Pence are alluding to bombing Kim. How crazy.

A five year old could play Donald Trump. Pence is an even bigger moron that I thought. Kim has already played Trump and has been all along. God, help us. There has never been a more incompetent, ignorant, naive administration in the history of the US.
