Suggestion that DPRK follow same path as Vietnam is divorced from reality

US SECRETARY OF STATE Mike Pompeo visited Vietnam after wrapping up his two-day visit to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea on Saturday. Guancha.cn comments:

Although Pompeo called his conversations in Pyongyang "productive", Pyongyang said the talks were "regretful" and Washington had made "gangster-like demands" for its denuclearization.

It is noteworthy that, when he visited Vietnam afterward, the top US diplomat urged the DPRK to follow the example of Vietnam, saying that US President Donald Trump believed Pyongyang could replicate Hanoi's path to normal relations with Washington and to prosperity.
