They Always Have an Excuse

If it isn't one thing, it's another. I think the only reason North Korean delegates go to nuclear talks in Beijing, is to get a good meal.

BEIJING, Nov 11 (AFP) - North Korea said Friday it would be impossible to make progress in six-nation talks on dismantling its nuclear program until the United States lifted financial sanctions against eight North Korean companies.

"We have seriously proposed the US should lift financial sanctions on us," Kim Gye-Gwan, North Korea's chief delegate to the six-nation talks, told reporters after three-days of negotiations in Beijing ended.

"The financial sanctions violate the joint statement and make it impossible to carry out the commitments to implement the joint statement.

And why did we impose sanctions against these companies? Because they were caught laundering money and selling weapons technology. And when I say "companies" I am talking about the NoKor government. There are no privately-owned businesses in that Stalinist state. North Korea is a criminal state. It engages in every crime you can think of to raise funds to prop up its failed method of government. But nothing can be done, because the United Nations is made up primarily of criminal states. If they took action to clean up North Korea, they fear their own country would be next.
