Isn't this asshole unemployed? Why does his opinion matter?

I’m no fan of War Hawk Bolton, but he is probably right with regards to Lil Kim not giving up his toys. He has played Trump like a pair of chopsticks!

North Korea breaks off talks, U.S. not ready to do so

North Korea said nuclear talks with the United States broke down again after the two sides met in Stockholm, Sweden, on Saturday in an attempt to revive negotiations after months of stalemate.

Pyongyang's chief negotiator, Kim Myong Gil, blamed the U.S. for being inflexible and said that Washington would not "give up their old viewpoint and attitude."

The U.S. did not agree with North Korea's sentiment, however, and even accepted Sweden's invitation to return to Stockholm in two weeks for another round of talks. "The U.S. brought creative ideas and had good discussions with its DPRK counterparts," State Department spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus said in a statement. "The United States and the DPRK will not overcome a legacy of 70 years of war and hostility on the Korean peninsula through the course of a single Saturday."
