IT TOOK NORTH KOREA A WHILE BUT THEY HAVE RESPONDED TO JOHN BOLTON'S PROVOCATION

Last week John "mentally unstable maniac" Bolton called for a Libya-style denuclearisation of North Korea.

I immediately saw this as a provocation of North Korea, because look what happened to Gaddafi: he gave up his WMD program, was giving names of al Qaeda in Libya to MI6 and the CIA, who were in turn sending prisoners to Gaddafi to be tortured, only for MI6 and the CIA to hook up with those al Qaeda in Libya and use them to kill Gaddafi. Those Jihadis were then smuggled into Syria where they were expected to do the same to Assad but have failed.

So overnight North Korea has responded to Bolton's provocation: North Korea will not disarm unilaterally for fear that what happened to Libya will happen to North Korea.

And quite right too. If Trump is so keen on denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula then there should be a one-for-one type gesture. Right?

But Bolton and Pompeo and all the other nutters don't want 'peace'.
