US neocons trying to scuttle peace process on Korean peninsula: Writer
 [PRESSTV] The neoconservatives in the Donald Trump...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... administration are trying to scuttle the grinding of the peace processor between  North Korea and South Korea and the United States, according to American writer and academic James Petras.The United States has canceled a training exercise involving nuclear-capable B-52 bombers flying alongside South Korean warplanes after North Korea threatened to call off a planned meeting between Kim John-un and President Trump, according to reports. The move follows repeated objection by Pyongyang to US military exercises on the Korean Peninsula and a threat that it would cancel the highly-anticipated summit between the North Korean leader and the US president on June 12. The Pentagon had initially asserted that it had no plans to change the scope of its exercises in the region, but the South Koreans asked not to take part in what was intended to be an air drill involving the US, South Korea and Japan, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing US officials. Professor Petras told Press TV on Saturday that "North Koreans are absolutely right because this is a form of intimidation and it sets a very ugly tone to any possibility of negotiations."
