See? See how the U.S. speak louder than those who are in dispute? eehhehehe .... U.S., you're funny! Media has led you as if you are involved in a dispute with North Korea. Who actually being disputed in Korean peninsula, hm? Ehehehe, Pyongyang does not consider important on your arrival, Mr. Kerry. They even consider that the birth of the late Kim Il-sung is more important to celebrate. eehehhee ....

So why do you look so worried, USA? With the excuse, "Oh, that was our ally?" Allies? Oh, it's cliche. Russia also "a friend" to North Korea, but why Russia does not seem like stirring the cookie dough? ehehhe, that's what I love about Russia elegant style in their foreign relations, which can not be imitated or owned by the U.S..
