North Korea said Wednesday that a U.S. decision to scale back military exercises with South Korea does not change what it sees as the provocative nature of the drills, dampening hopes for an early resumption of diplomacy between North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and U.S. President Donald Trump.

The powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un made the comments Wednesday night in her country’s first reaction to Trump’s moves to drastically cut back the annual U.S.-South Korean military drills.

“We think it’s not worth making comments on that and we have no interest in it at all,” Kim Yo Jong said in a statement carried by state media. “The provocative, aggressive nature of the drills won’t change even though their duration and size were reduced.”

    Trump sucks Kim’s dick on camera but grimaces during money-shot and North Korea was not impressed.

      How many other Western, from what is supposed to be a democracy, leaders have gushed about falling in love with a dictator? Actually I’m sort of curious if there is more than one. Trump may have been working the flute but Kim sure played the pied piper better.

        Trump is a wannabe. That’s it. He’s a fail-son who wants to be part of the wealthy class but most of his sensibilities match middle class America. He can’t read for shit, so he’s TV educated so his take on a rich person is his him pretending based on fake rich people.

        All MAGA is a cult of fake and Trump is surely their king.

        As far as being king, well he has no idea on that either, he just wants to be treated the same, but he has no idea how to do anything and anything he’s ever tried turns out like shit for him or for everyone else.
