Trump’s Idiotic Ultimatum Might Badly Backfire Upon Him





By: Kayhan Int’l Staff Writer

It seems North Korean Leader, Kim Jong-un, knows about politics, diplomacy and international affairs than the quixotic US president, Donald Trump.
Following the warning from Pyongyang that the planned June 12 Summit with Washington might have to be shelved if the US senselessly demands dismantling of North Korea’s nuclear weapons but leaving its own intact, the dotard in the White House has thundered a "do or die” threat, little knowing that his signing his own death warrant.
Trump, who behaves like a bully when he is at his wit’s end, further painted himself into a corner when asked about the possibility of a "Libyan Model” for Korea, and thinking it to be Mo’ammar Qadhafi’s fall from power in 2011 (eight years after Libya closed its installations for manufacture of weapons of mass destruction in exchange for lifting of western sanctions), said to the embarrassment of all: "The model, if you look at that model with Qadhafi, that was a total decimation. We went in there to beat him.”
It was an ultimatum that North Korea will not take lightly. It meant ‘either you denuclearize or die’.
There were surely peals of laughter in Pyongyang at Trump’s gibberish and his total lack of information regarding the Libyan strongman, who was the victim of European Machiavellianism rather than any American invasion to beat him and decimate him.
Kim is too good a tactician to either give up his nuclear deterrents or be scared of Trump’s attempts to portray himself as a trigger-happy terrorist.
North Korea knows fully well that if Libya had not destroyed its installations for manufacture of WMDs, no European country would have picked up a direct confrontation with him – even though Qadhafi was a rogue and a tyrant that puts him in the same category of Saddam, Trump and MBS.    
Pyongyang, which was intensively pounded by US bombers during the war of 1950-53 and yet survived to become a nuclear state, possessing the capability to bring all US cities within the range of its inter-ballistic missiles, will never give in to American threats and pressures.
It is aware that Trump cannot do a damn thing even if he was foolish enough to trigger a nuclear war whose end result will be destruction on a massive scale for not just East Asia, where the interest of Russia, China, and Japan merge, but for the US itself, which would be plunged in a doomsday scenario.
Therefore, if there is any commonsense left in the US administration, which sadly over the past few months is being staffed with good for nothing suicidal nincompoops, Washington would agree to Pyongyang’s proposals for mutual dismantling of nuclear weapons facilities, instead trying to browbeat North Korea, which is strong enough turn American dreams into nightmares.  
Kim Jong-un does not depend on the graces or goodwill of the US. He will remain in power long after Trump is no more and has become the food of snakes and insects – as the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has rightly predicted.
