Trump explained why North Korea can have nuclear weapons, but Iran cannot.

North Korea may have nuclear weapons weaponBecause North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is "my friend," Donald Trump said.

Journalists asked the US president why North Korea can have nuclear weapons while Iran cannot, and he received a rather unexpected answer. The American leader stated that Kim Jong-un is his friend, and as long as Donald Trump leads the US, North Korea "will be fine." Furthermore, according to Trump, Kim Jong-un "respects" him.

He's my friend. He likes Trump. As long as I'm here, he'll be fine. You know why? He respects me.

As Trump admitted, Pyongyang only has "enormous nuclear potential" because previous US presidents allowed it to exist without "doing what I'm doing." But Trump never explained what exactly the US president is doing.

It's worth noting that Trump met with Kim Jong-un during his first term, but that meeting led to nothing serious. Pyongyang has no intention of abandoning its nuclear program, rightly believing that only the presence of nuclear weapons can save the republic from a US attack.

As Pyongyang recently stated, North Korea's nuclear status is irreversible, regardless of the position of the United States and its allies.

...the insanity grew stronger... Comrade Yn will probably spend half a day recovering from such an impudent statement from Doni.
Oh, by the way, since Donya "allowed" North Korea to have nuclear weapons, then logically he should lift the sanctions, right? Or do they not interfere with each other? Or are logic and Donya completely incompatible concepts?

Well, that's why he didn't live long, because he was too smart. Smart people were never liked anywhere, especially in his position...

PS, and if the Koreans already have nuclear weapons, then of course it only means with Doni's permission, it can't be any other way.

[Mouse]

Since Donya "allowed" the DPRK to have nuclear weapons, then he should probably lift the sanctions, right?

Flies separately, cutlets separately...

[Nexcom]

Hi Vasily.
Well, that's not surprising—it's just Trump's style. I wouldn't be surprised if he slaps more sanctions on his "friend" Comrade Un, "in a friendly way." Incidentally, Donya's AUG then went to the DPRK, probably just for a visit, but Comrade Un was very busy, and the AUG returned.

[Mouse]

Well, he likes it when AUG hangs out...

[Nexcom]

Yes, Donya drives these troughs of hers with or without reason at the slightest provocation...

[Mouse]

And the view is so menacing...

[Nexcom]

The most important thing is that there are a lot of planes there, and they take off beautifully.

[Fedor Sokolov]

Simply put: "Sanctions are different, you have to understand that!"

[knn54]

Israel simply won't tolerate a competitor like Iran. And North Korea has no oil.

[isv000]

Quote: knn54

And there is no oil in the DPRK.

But Russia has it, and in sufficient quantities. We have the hydrocarbons and food, and they have the missiles and drones we need.

[Dead Frost]

Comrade Un will laugh so hard that his initially not-so-wide eyes will become pinched. Then he'll stop, exhale, "Wow, that red dog sure does make me laugh!" and continue to boost North Korea's defenses.

[Gomunkul]

North Korea may have nuclear weapons because

The DPRK already has these weapons and has an ally like China behind it.

[WILL]

North Korea may have nuclear weapons because North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is "my friend," Donald Trump said.

Comrade Kim is probably surprised now.
Trump lives by the formula: No friends, no girlfriends - I'm my own fucking friend!

It's too late. The roof has already gone somewhere for a long time and clearly doesn't intend to come back...

[tralflot1832]

This isn't insanity, it's Trump's bid for a third presidential term. If I leave, America is finished. Kim Jong-un won't have anyone to be friends with in the US. If there's no one to be friends with, he might just bomb something out of boredom. Actually, Kim Jong-un's dad did everything legally - to possess nuclear weapons. He sent the UN to hell, sent it diplomatically.

[Nexcom]

If I leave, America is finished. Kim Jong-un will have no one to be friends with in the US.

This is a brilliant gem. So, since Donya is supposedly Comrade Ynu's friend, then the Koreans definitely won't bomb Donya's friend. It's brilliant!
Hi Andrey

[tralflot1832]

Hi Dmitry, I prepared for this article in advance after reading Trump's statement earlier.

[Nexcom]

Yes, I get it. When I read the messages about Doni's friendship with Comrade Yn, I was simply stunned.

[tralflot1832]

Yes, I get it. When I read the messages about Doni's friendship with Comrade Yn, I was simply stunned.

Kim Jong-un and Donya have one thing in common: they both have beautiful wives and children.

[Nexcom]

Well, that's true. It's true, Comrade Yn's wife is apparently younger than Melania.
Again, everything is fine with Comrade Yna's head - his flask doesn't whistle like Donya's.

[Dead Frost]

So, Comrade Ng is younger than Mr. Trump. And their lifestyles and diets are different. And their genes, too. And a gene, as the saying goes, isn't a fly; you can't swat it with a newspaper.

[faterdom]

So that's him, Mikhalych...

How else can Don be at the top of American news? He has a whole staff of writers for his speeches.

[Nexcom]

...I assume Don't's speeches are written by an ardent follower of Jane Psaki?

[foxes]

Because the WPK leadership hasn't issued any "fatwas" and is well aware of the laws of the real world, where only force is respected and feared. Any self-restraint or "goodwill" is perceived as weakness.

[Alexander_Davydenko]

That's what nuclear weapons mean: if you want your country's security, have them! And the rest of the world doesn't matter! And in general, why are some countries allowed to have nuclear weapons and others not?

[Lynx2000]

Moreover, according to Trump, Kim Jong-un “respects” him.

He's my friend. He likes Trump. As long as I'm here, he'll be fine. You know why? He respects me.

Damn, this is some kind of circus, it reminded me of:
- Do you respect me? I respect you. We are respected people! Does Comrade Kim know?

Does Trump respect Netanyahu?

[Levinstein]

Do you know why he respects me? Because I'm a little afraid of him.
Trump responded

[Pavlos Melas]

North Korea isn't trying to spread its ideology and worldview beyond the Korean Peninsula, and they're not even particularly eager to attack South Korea. Iran, however, may want to push its ideology to the masses. North Korea isn't trying to destroy Israel, but Iran claims that's its goal. And those mullahs haven't received a nuclear weapon; if they had one, they'd speak to them in a completely different tone and wouldn't dare bomb them.

[Fishmashin]

With a friend like Trump, you don't need enemies.

[faterdom]

It's good to walk in the world
With caramel on your cheek,
and one more for a friend,
And one in reserve.

[Kostadinov]

Comrade Trump will probably be accepted into the Korean Workers' Party if he's a friend of the General Secretary himself. I think he could be nominated for the Politburo.

[Dead Frost]

He's already getting truancy notices at the cemetery, and the devils in hell are tired of cleaning the boiler of soot because the client is late. And there's an overuse of firewood. Or maybe it's natural gas? Hmm...

[Fitter65]

North Korea may have nuclear weapons because North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is "my friend," Donald Trump said.

Oh, how!!! I don't even know how to comment on this latest piece of narcissistic stupidity!!!

[razved]

Clowning reaches a new level...

[Destroyermen]

The main argument here is quite simple. North Korea is an isolationist state with no foreign policy ambitions, and it has a stable and sustainable regime. They need nuclear weapons solely to protect their isolation. They won't bother anyone with them.

Iran, on the other hand, is a state with ambitions for regional leadership, prone to meddling in other people's affairs throughout the region (Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen... yes, Iran's ambitions have been significantly curtailed over the past two years, but they haven't disappeared completely). The Iranian regime is a complex balance between secular and religious governments, each with its own quirks (the religious one fears nuclear weapons, while the secular one desires them). If Iran acquires nuclear weapons, it will attempt to use nuclear blackmail to advance its regional ambitions, significantly increasing the risks in the region.

This is why the US and the world are inclined to agree with North Korea's nuclear arsenal, but when it comes to the Iranian bomb, there is an absolute consensus that it is bad.

[valera75]

As Trump admitted, Pyongyang only has "enormous nuclear potential" because previous US presidents allowed it to exist without "doing what I'm doing." But Trump never explained what exactly the US president is doing.

Well, you, redhead, will do everything to ensure Iran gets a nuclear weapon. And that would be right; Epstein's gang needs to be taken down. Six-fingered has been lying for three decades about Iran getting nuclear weapons any day now and having to destroy them, and they should actually have them now.

[Aleks1956OU]

Sly Dosya!
Ah, in principle, that's how it should be. 😏 The American president should be a person, not a pawn.

Damn this Europe with its obscurantism.
In any case, we need to be friends with America. We need to find common ground and develop it.
And we definitely need to invite Trump and members of the government and Congress to come to Moscow.
I am sure that if this could be done, we would postpone the future war, or completely avoid further escalation.
Ah, these clowns from the Northern latitudes, the Baltics and the triplet of twins from the EU, shut up right now.
I think that Vladimir Putin is the man who can do this.
