Trump threatens North Korea with the Libyan fate - decimation - if Kim fails to meet him and give him the veneer for a Nobel prize. So, many Koreans will die just as countless of Libyans did as "[w]e decimated" it. Is that it?

"The Libya model was a much different model. We decimated that
country," Trump said. "There was no deal to keep Gaddafi."

"The fate suffered by Libya shows `what will take place if we don't
make a deal', the US president warned."

Trump tells North Korea's Kim to denuclearise or risk overthrow

US president says North Korea's Kim Jong-un could suffer same fate as
Libya's Muammar Gaddafi over nuclear weapons.

US President Donald Trump offered North Korea's Kim Jong-un guarantees
of staying in power if he abandons nuclear weapons, but warned he
could end up like Libya's former leader if he doesn't.

In an effort to put his planned landmark summit with Kim back on
track, Trump said on Thursday that North Korea "will get protections
that will be very strong" if the meeting were to go ahead
successfully.

"He'd be in his country and running his country. His country would be
very rich," he told reporters.

But the pledge came barbed with a warning that if talks fail, Kim
could suffer the same fate as Libya's Muammar Gaddafi, who was
overthrown by rebels and gruesomely killed.

The fate suffered by Libya shows "what will take place if we don't
make a deal", the US president warned.

Trump's remarks came as Pyongyang threatened to cancel the historic
summit, set for June 12 in Singapore, after blaming US demands for
"unilateral nuclear abandonment".

A North Korean official also derided as "absurd" comments by Trump's
top security adviser, John Bolton, who referred to Libya as a model
for denuclearisation.

The model Bolton was referring to was a 2003 deal in which Gaddafi
agreed to the elimination of his country's nuclear programme and
chemical weapons arsenal to gain sanctions relief.

Libya model

Trump said he was not pursuing the so-called "Libya model" in getting
North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons.

He appeared to interpret the "Libya model" to mean the 2011 NATO
intervention in Libya, which led to Gaddafi's death.

"The Libya model was a much different model. We decimated that
country," Trump said. "There was no deal to keep Gaddafi."

However, he added the Libya model would only come into play if a deal
could not be reached with North Korea. He didn't elaborate.

The US leader also suggested Kim's about-face on the meeting may have
been at the behest of Chinese leader Xi Jinping.

"It could very well be that he's influencing Kim Jong-un," Trump said,
citing a recent meeting between the pair, their second in a month's
time. "We'll see what happens."

US President Donald Trump offered North Korea's Kim Jong-un guarantees
of staying in power if he abandons nuclear weapons, but warned he
could end up like Libya's former leader if he doesn't.

But it seems like there is a much easier way to get the talk back on
track, namely, by removing the needless provocation of "Max Thunder",
since it is what North Korea has been objecting all along, and since
the summit between the US and North Korea is supposedly all about
peace for the Korean peninsula.

Why bully?
