White House: the appearance of the DPRK team at the Olympics will not affect the participation in the Games of Americans

35
The appearance of the North Korean team at the Olympics in Pyeongchang will not affect the participation in the Games of American athletes, reports Interfax statement by the press secretary of the White House, Sarah Sanders.



North Korea’s participation (in the Olympics) is an opportunity for the regime to see the value of ending its international isolation by denuclearizing (...) This, of course, will in no way affect US participation.
Sanders told reporters.

She added that the US hopes that “it will be possible to continue to move forward in this direction (denuclearization).

The representative of the White House added that the United States "is in contact with the South Korean allies" on the issue of negotiations with Pyongyang.

Denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula is a priority for us,
she noted.

Earlier, the State Department stated that the United States "is committed to the safe and successful conduct of the event." The government of the country intends to send a high-level delegation to the Olympics.

On Tuesday, representatives of South and North Korea during the first high-level meeting in two years agreed to send a delegation of the DPRK to the Olympic Games, which will be held from 9 to 25 in February in South Korean Pyeongchang.

      Not certainly in that way. This is already catching up. After all, here too, fat Eun went around Trump's dog - he was the first to announce the participation of the DPRK national team in the Olympic Games, while the amerzoid was still struggling with this decision.

    Like, "We warn you that we are not afraid of you," the Americans declared to the North Koreans. And will it be the Olympics when the Americans themselves are heating up the situation there? One would like to remember a song in its time for the USSR “We will bomb it, You will have the Olympics o-ho-ho-ho-ho”. Joke. )))

    Not so long ago there was news that the United States, due to the conflict with the DPRK, is considering whether or not to send its athletes to the Olympics. The conflict subsided and the states relaxed ...

    The mattresses were deeply offended that, without their participation, negotiations between Korea were agreed and held. Everywhere they want to stick their excessively long nose, but so far everywhere is a bummer. Both in the Middle and Far East.

        I do not agree at the root. Matrasia does not need peace in the Far East, they need to put their missile defense in South Korea and Japan (supposedly to protect them), but in reality, China and Russia will be at gunpoint.

    But if you denuclearize the United States, it would be hard to imagine how calm the world has come.
    ... will not affect the participation in the Games of American athletes ... statement by spokeswoman for the White House Sarah Sanders
    Interestingly, do they even hear what they say? And how should the appearance of DPRK athletes affect American athletes? Diarrhea, what was he supposed to grab?

    DPRK is a superpower! Bravo! And in fact it is not inferior in power and influence to the USA in the world. That's how it should be, and if the North Koreans want to participate in the JI, then probably not under a neutral flag!

      In the DPRK, there are no oligarchs who keep “acquired by overwork” in foreign currency and foreign banks. We picked up capitalism, got into someone else's system, under the rules of others. You can inflate your cheeks as much as you can, talking about the "multipolar world", but the big Russia is less independent at the moment than the little North Korea. Sadly, but Koreans will proudly perform under their flag and anthem, and “guest workers” in sports, ready for any humiliation, will leave Russia.

We will assume that we have expressed our opinions, I am on our participation in the Olympiad, you are in my comment. Although, I would be interested to hear your opinion directly on the topic of discrimination in Russia, as we have allowed, and not a “growl” on “strangers” on statements.

            My opinion is that all this is cockroach racing (I'm talking about the Olympics, in particular) and there is no discussion at the VO.

        Apparently our powers that be, unlike the North Koreans, do not know simple folk wisdom:

        Buy everything said gold
        I’ll take everything said damask

      To begin with, to show their goodwill, it would not hurt them to cut their 8 aircraft carriers into needles, and not build new ones, why should they be “peace-loving”, is this an instrument of aggression? Long live US disarmament! They have so many weapons, much more for their own self-defense.

    So the firmness of the position led the North Koreans to the Olympiad, and the sloppiness and lack of initiative of our sports diplomacy led to the humiliation of all Russian sports and the country as a whole.

    The mighty Sarah Sanders expressed concern about the mental condition of Kim Jong-un. He again famously sent the Americans into the ear, directly inviting the South Korean brothers to accept the DPRK team at the Olympics. And they readily agreed! And athletes from North Korea will conduct sports battles under their banner, with their own emblem, and if, more than hopes, someone wins, the national anthem will proudly sound. Well, how are you, faithful ..........? This is not a strait-prison robe, which will be performed do not understand who, do not understand where.
