Beyond the headlines: here’s North Korea’s actual statement on Trump meeting

NOVANEWS By Liberation Staff Pyongyang, North Korea, October 10, 2015. Photo: Gloria La Riva. “Kim Jong-un Shows True Colors by Threatening to Cancel Trump Meeting.” This was how the New York Times headlined its recent “news” article, throwing any pretense of objectivity into the wind. This is typical of the imperialist media, which never accurately presents the perspective of countries that have been targeted for regime change, giving instead only the most sensational and selective soundbites that assist their demonization. It has become evident in recent days that certain leading figures in the Trump administration, most notably John Bolton, the National Security Advisor, were insisting that the upcoming Singapore summit between Trump and Kim Jung-Un must be a purely one-sided nego...

Korean gambit

NOVANEWS http://argumenti.ru/society/2018/05/572774?typelink=openlink № 19(612) from 17.05.18 ["Arguments of the Week", Alexander Chuikov ] On June 12, Singapore will host the first ever summit of DPRK and US leaders. The parties, which are still on the verge of a nuclear conflict, have been able to come to the negotiating table. Unless, of course, the unpredictable Donald trump changes his mind. Perhaps the meeting will be the beginning of the unification of the two Koreas on the principle of "one country – two systems." And if Russia and China will only welcome such a debut on the Korean Peninsula, then Japan and a number of other South-Eastern "players" will do everything to prevent the process of unification. What pawns will be sacrificed? What Korean endgame will be formed on th...

UN Security Council Resolution 2375 on North Korea: Preparation for War?

NOVANEWS “Decapitation Units” expose the US-ROK Axis of State Terrorism By Carla Stea Global Research There is now a discernible pattern to US manipulation of the UN Security Council when it wants UN endorsement for US-NATO acts of aggression. It is a formula which led to the destruction of Iraq and Libya, and in 1950-1953 led to the destruction of North Korea and most of South Korea. This deadly trajectory is once again becoming visible, and the code is revealed in the three words: “all necessary measures,” which are deciphered to mean US-NATO aggressive war. This formula begins with sanctions under Chapter VII of the UN Charter: approximately eleven sanctions have been inflicted upon North Korea, and four presidential statements. The sanctions are, in themselves aggressive ac...

A Telling Comparison: 'Israel' versus North Korea

NOVANEWS By Kim Petersen Global Research Selected article from the GR archive, first published in November 2017. Missing from corporate media accounts is what causes the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK aka North Korea) to be singled out for opprobrium for what, essentially, is developing a deterrent against any entity that would attack it. A comparison with how the United Nations deals with North Korea vis-à-vis another member state state, Israel, is instructive. Israel occupies Palestinian territory; destroys Palestinian olive groves and poisons Palestinian sheep; sprays Palestinian homes with sewage; sabotages Palestinian water supplies; cuts off power to Palestine; terrorizes Palestinians for hours at checkpoints, including the sick, infirm, and pregnant wo...

North Korea: A Threat or A Victim? Some Facts

NOVANEWS By: Felicity Arbuthnot Relevant article selected from the GR archive, first published in October 2017. If anyone is still wondering why North Korea was being “provocative” in missile tests and repeatedly declaring what would seem to be a daunting arsenal (although there is still no irrefutable, concrete proof of deliverable, long range nuclear weapons capability) here is just a small taste of what it’s southern neighbor, in cahoots with Godfather America, has planned (1): “Decapitation.” ‘Kill the King and the regime will collapse. That is the rationale offered by South Korean military planners for a “decapitation unit” they are forming for the sole purpose of assassinating North Korea’s Supreme Leader, Kim Jong-un. They are convinced that, in the ensuing chaos, North Ko...

North Korea May “Reconsider” Participation in Kim-Trump Summit

NOVANEWS North Korea May “Reconsider” Participation in Kim-Trump Summit. Rejects Washington’s “Impure Intentions” and “Ludicrous Statements” Kim Kye Gwan warns comparisons to Libya or Iraq from senior American officials could scupper talks By: Dagyum Ji NK News This report confirms Pyongyang’s response to recent U.S. foreign policy statements, not to mention conduct of US-ROK war games directed against North Korea.

On a Korean Peace Plan, The Role of the CIA. The Kim-Trump Summit, Will it Take Place? 'Video'

NOVANEWS By Prof Michel Chossudovsky and Michael Welch What happened in the days leading up to the historic Kim-Moon summit on April 27th on the South side of at the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ)? A future meeting between Kim and Trump had been envisaged. But Trump now seems to have hesitations: President Donald Trump on Thursday morning suggested that some of the elements of his potential summit later this year with North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un are up in the air. “It could be that I walk out quickly, with respect, but it could be. It could be that maybe the meeting doesn’t even take place. Who knows?” … The President said in the past, North Korea-US relations were “very, very nasty you know with little Rocket Man and with the buttons.” But now, he said, “they want to me...

North Korea Extends a Good Faith “Olive Branch”. Kim-Trump Summit in June?

NOVANEWS By Stephen Lendman Global Research Days ahead of an April 27 inter-Korean summit, seen as prelude to DPRK leader Kim Jong-un and Trump meeting in May or June at a location to be decided, a statement by North Korea’s official KCNA news agency said the following: “Starting from April 21, North Korea stops nuclear tests and launches of intercontinental ballistic missiles. The North will also close the nuclear test site in the north of the country to confirm its obligation to stop nuclear tests.” KCNA quoted Kim saying “(f)reezing nuclear tests is an important process of the global nuclear disarmament, and North Korea joins the international effort intended to fully stop nuclear tests.” “We will never use nuclear weapons if there is no nuclear threats or provocation...

Options for Denuclearising the Korean Peninsula

NOVANEWS By Morton Halperin, Peter Hayes, and Leon Sigal Global Research A critically important part of assembling the Korean peninsula-wide denuclearization jigsaw puzzle is the institutional and legal form of North Korean commitments on the one hand, and the nuclear negative security assurances by the NPT-Nuclear Weapons States (NWSs), especially the United States, on the other. Given the risk of mutual annihilation between the two Koreas as well as to third parties such as the United States, Japan, and China, finding a way to square this circle is urgent. The Nautilus Institute has published a special report ‘A Korean nuclear weapons-free zone treaty and nuclear extended deterrence: options for denuclearising the Korean Peninsula, A Korean Nuclear Weapons-Free Zone Treaty a...
