Calling a Spade a Spade

Chairman Kim is at it again.

North Korea says the US must apologise for calling it an "outpost of tyranny" before it will consider a return to talks on its nuclear ambitions.

Pyongyang's foreign ministry said it would resume talks "any time" if the US took a "trustworthy sincere attitude", the official KCNA news agency reported.

It called on the US to "renounce its hostile policy aimed at regime change".

This is sort of like yesterday's story about China, one of the world's great human rights violators, being unhappy about having been labeled a human rights violator.

North Korea doesn't like being called an outpost of tyranny? Easily solved, gentle reader. North Korea should cease to be an outpost of tyranny. How does one accomplish that? Regime change.
