Washington Post: North Korea taps GOP analysts to better understand Trump and his messages
BERN, Switzerland — North Korean government officials have been quietly trying to arrange talks with Republican-linked analysts in Washington, in an apparent attempt to make sense of President Trump and his confusing messages to Kim Jong Un’s regime.
The outreach began before the current eruption of threats between the two leaders but will probably become only more urgent as Trump and Kim have descended into name-calling that, many analysts worry, sharply increases the chances of potentially catastrophic misunderstandings.
“Their number one concern is Trump. They can’t figure him out,” said one person with direct knowledge of North Korea’s approach to Asia experts with Republican connections.

WNU Editor: I got a heads up on these invitations from a regular reader of this blog a few days ago. GOP analysts? Most of the GOP are still in the dark when it comes to understanding Trump .... and now they are being tapped by the North Koreans? Oh oh ....

For a young leader of a country with little to no international interaction it does puzzle the mind when Trump, leader of the biggest military has been considering military action, assassination and a full out invasion of your country for the last year or so.
Fact is its not up the to international community or even neighbouring countries to dictate what another country does. More so when that country hasn't been in armed conflict for decades.
To me the only thing North Korea has done is stopped military expansion deep into China, Mongolia and Russia. Once you break out of the peninsular the scope of military operations dramatically increases.
This suggests Trump strategy is working. For the first time Kim is facing a president who doesn't hide under the covers when threatened and is calling Kim's bluff.
Kim is genuinely perplexed and just does not know what to do.
Fazman, it looks like it, doesn't it. I just hope we're not facing a race to the bottom in which psychopathic tendencies are a virtue.
nothing has changed. zip. nada. zero.
Hilarious. One tin horn dictator bully looking for tips from another wannabe tin horn dictator bully. Maybe Trump can show him how to get this twitter thing working. It's been working for Trump so well. Maybe Kim will tell Trump to launch a missile into that Atlantic thing.
Please remember and don't ever forget - Covfefe!
"After a series of costly and disastrous military campaigns against Goguryeo, one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea, ended in defeat by 614, the dynasty disintegrated under a series of popular revolts culminating in the assassination of Emperor Yang by his ministers in 618"
How would the world be different is the Sui emperor had conquered Goguryeo?
He's a dipsh#$t buffoon that doesn't what he's doing.
Your welcome.
