Bolton says diplomatic dance with NK was South Korea’s creation
Korea Herald (Yonhap- AFP) by Kim So-hyun June 19

Former US national security adviser John Bolton wrote in his new book that US President Donald Trump’s diplomacy with North Korea was South Korea’s “creation,” and that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un was able to manipulate the American president.

In his memoir “The Room Where It Happened,” which is due to be published next week, Bolton wrote extensively about his disagreements with Trump before, during and after the Singapore summit with Kim, CNN reported on Thursday.

“The whole diplomatic fandango was South Korea’s creation … relating more to its ‘unification’ agenda than serious strategy on Kim’s part or ours,” Bolton wrote, according to an advance copy obtained by CNN.

Worth reading the whole article as the psychopaths engage in recriminations over North Korea. Interesting how Pompeo sends a note to Bolton like a smart alec school boy during a phone call with Kim. Trump's attempt to use Bolton as the "bad cop" was an amateur move destined to end in failure.
