This thread shines light on US’s “hostile policy” towards the DPRK in the 1990’s. US policymakers then who claim DPRK just uses the phrase “hostile policy” as an excuse for test-firing missiles or doing defense exercises are ignorant of history & negligent in their understanding.

2/The DPRK probably understands the US gov’t better than any country on Earth b/c it has been locked into a 68-year long Armistice and is always on the short end of the stick. It’s US policy is now reflected in FM Choe Son Hui’s words:

5/Jong’s key policy statements by heart. There’s no excuse for slacking. We’re hogtied by an inept B-team JV squad.

“DPRK’s nuclear weapons [are] non-negotiable, unless the US is prepared to coexist with the nuclear DPRK, because this is the only way to

8/the reality the US & analysts are awakening to today: DPRK is choosing to remain nuclear. Choe’s latest statement reflects DPRK’s resolve to meet the US in the principle of “power for power, goodwill for goodwill”. The CVID/FFVD of DPRK is dead. The challenge of the times then
