North Korea called US Vice-President Mike Pence “ignorant and stupid” for his warnings over a planned summit with Donald Trump, renewing a threat to cancel as the US president said the fate of the historic talks will be decided next week.

The latest broadside from North Korea came Thursday with vice-minister of Foreign Affairs Choe Son Hui lambasting a Monday media interview in which Pence warned Kim Jong Un that it would be a “great mistake” to try and play Trump.

Pence also said North Korea could end up like Libya, whose former leader Moamer Khadafi was killed by US-backed rebels years after giving up atomic weapons, “if Kim Jong Un doesn’t make a deal”.

“I cannot suppress my surprise at such ignorant and stupid remarks gushing out from the mouth of the US vice-president,” Choe said in a statement released by the state-run KCNA news agency.

1. Finding common ground with NK!!!!

Dear North Korean negotiators,

High-five. We’ve known that Pence is ignorant and stupid for a long time. You should hear what his billionaire donors say about him- it’s even worse!

Regards,
American diplomats

2. It is like the old Spy vs Spy cartoon in Mad Magazine.

Someday these people will manage to kill people if nothing else than sheer disgust.
