Rodman wants Obama to call Kim Jong Un

Which I thought was great, though Rodman shouldn't get an interview to begin with.

In his first interview since returning to the U.S. from an unprecedented visit to North Korea last week, former NBA star Dennis Rodman said he bears a message for President Obama from the country’s oppressive leader, Kim Jong Un.

“He wants Obama to do one thing: Call him,” Rodman told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos on “This Week.” “He said, ‘If you can, Dennis – I don’t want [to] do war. I don’t want to do war.’ He said that to me.”

The athlete also offered Kim some diplomatic advice for potential future talks with President Obama.

“[Kim] loves basketball. And I said the same thing, I said, ‘Obama loves basketball.’ Let’s start there,” Rodman said.

Rodman’s comments come just days after the basketball star shocked the world with an unexpected trip to Pyongyang, North Korea, becoming the first known American to publicly meet with the mysterious Kim since he assumed command of the totalitarian nation after the death of his father, Kim Jong-Il in 2011.

The young leader has defied U.N. sanctions by continuing to develop North Korea’s nuclear arms and missile program, which he says is aimed at the U.S.

Kim is often regarded as one of the world’s most oppressive leaders, presiding over prison camps and allowing millions of his own people to starve.

Rodman likely now has more firsthand impressions of Kim than any other American. He offered some insight to Kim’s personality this morning.

“He loves power. He loves control,” Rodman said, of his new “friend.” “But guess what? He doesn’t want war. That’s one thing he doesn’t want.”

Why exactly did Obama pick Kerry as SOS?

Does this automatically cause Rodman's stock jump for a Nobel?

“But guess what? He doesn’t want war. That’s one thing he doesn’t want.”


Hitler told Churchill the same thing ironically enough.


Meanwhile just days ago N. Korea threatened the American forces would “meet a miserable destruction.”

Hitler managed to do a lot of things without war.. And you can bet your ass he'd preferred manipulation or subversion to carry out his goals of European domination over wars.

Also, Godwin's law.

NK is not really something we need to even worry about. If they cause any trouble it would take all of 15 seconds to destroy the country.

educate yourself. They have nuclear weapons and a million soldiers on the border. 30,000 American soldiers would be in the nuclear crosshairs.

You apparently don't understand Godwin's Law very well. It's not really inappropriate to compare a tyrannical despot to Hitler.

I think you're assuming Kim Jong Un is making the remarks about nuclear threats, as opposed to being pressured by the military state to say it. I actually don't think Un wants to make these threats. I also don't think it's a sign of weakness that he's riding along with it.
