North Korea said it was "deceived" by the United States and would be ending its openness to discussions after a year and a half of broken down denuclearization talks.

In a statement published by the state news agency KCNA, top Foreign Ministry official Kim Kye Gwan said that the rogue state was moving on from negotiations after "wasted time" in ultimately unsuccessful nuclear negotiations with the US.

"We have been deceived by the United States, being caught in the dialogue with it for over one year and a half, and that was the lost time for us," Gwan wrote in the statement.

The official also said that despite diplomatic acts like President Donald Trump's recent birthday greeting sent to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, the leaders' "personal" relationship is not enough to persuade the state at large to return to the table with the US.

9. Epic trolling by NK.

drumpf is such a freaking fool he really thinks it's all about personal relationships because he can't conceive of truly caring for anything or anyone but himself. Every day I am so embarrassed that I live in a country that would allow him the steal the office of presidency. I am even more horrified (though not surprised) that an entire party representing close to half of the country is actively working against the best interests of the country and themselves for the gain of the oligarch class.

Dotard Donald called Rocketman Kim "very honorable".

That leaves Dotard Donald as the snake.

Would Kim be able to trust Dotard by giving up his only bargaining chips, his nukes, after seeing how honorable Donald is in keeping his word?

With Bolton expressing his preference for a ‘Libya solution’, where the leader of Libya was killed.
