WOW. Talk about turning the conversation around and pointing the finger the other way!

On Saturday, the foreign minister of North Korea accused the United States of failure to maintain their half of the bargain struck between President Trump and North Korean dictator, Kim Jong Un, during their June summit.

Specifically, he’s claiming Secretary of State Mike Pompeo of being the fly in that particular ointment.

Pompeo, he says, is making moves that will destabilize the agreement between the president and Kim.

North Korean Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho told the Association of Southeast Asian Nations forum that Pompeo had made “alarming” statements to the group when requesting that sanctions on Pyongyang remain intact, Reuters reported.

“We have initiated goodwill measures of, inter alia, a moratorium on nuclear tests and rocket launch tests and dismantling of nuclear test ground,” Ri said Saturday.

No, actually, your test facility collapsed, but every report coming out in recent weeks points to a North Korea that still works to reimplement that nuclear program, and at least one Radio Asia report that says Kim and other North Korean officials have flatly stated that talk of ending their nuclear program is a non-starter.

“However, the United States, instead of responding to these measures, is raising its voice louder for maintaining the sanctions against the DPRK and showing the attitude to retreat even from declaring the end of the war, a very basic and primary step for providing peace on the Korean peninsula,” he added, using the acronym for the official name for North Korea.

“What is alarming however is the insistent moves manifested within the U.S. to go back to the old, far from its leader’s intention.”

Yeah. They shouldn’t hold the U.S. to anything President Tweety McBestWords says. He’s a barely functioning imbecile, so our government is attempting to work around him, at the moment.

Still, North Korea isn’t exactly the picture of sound, sane government, so what they say has to be taken with an equally large grain of salt.

Ri insists they’ve kept their end of the bargain, and that they will continue to be good faith arbiters of the agreement.

The agreement called for the eventual dismantling of North Korea’s nuclear program in exchange for unspecific security guarantees from the United States.

“The DPRK stands firm in its determination and commitment for implementing the DPRK-U.S. Joint Statement in a responsible and good-faith manner,” Ri said Saturday.

That word, “eventual” is what should be standing out, right now.

After leveling a portion of Japan? Taking control of South Korea? Give us a timeline on that “eventual,” because none of the documented moves being made by the rogue nation seem to point to an administration that is holding up its end of a handshake deal.

All of this fevered talk of North Korea as the injured party is coming the day after the United Nations received a report from an independent group of experts, detailing the nation’s continued nuclear ambitions.

“[North Korea] has not stopped its nuclear and missile programs and continued to defy Security Council resolutions through a massive increase in illicit ship-to-ship transfers of petroleum products, as well as through transfers of coal at sea during 2018,” the report said, according to Reuters.

So they’re liars?

Of course they are. They can’t be trusted.

Most of us were well aware of that fact, long before Trump’s ill-advised summit.

And Trump continues to praise Kim.
