North Korea Continues To Build-Up Its Nuclear Arsenal



Business Insider: North Korea may have built 12 nuclear bombs since the first Trump-Kim summit last year, according to recent reports from intelligence analysts

* North Korea may have expanded its nuclear arsenal with 12 more bombs since President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un first met at a Singapore summit last year.
* The Wall Street Journal first reported that intelligence analysts are concluding that the secretive state is accelerating its production of long-range missiles and fissile material, both key components in making nuclear weapons.
* The revelation comes after North Korea unveiled a new submarine that could launch nuclear weapons and fired two short-range missiles off its coast, flouting a UN ban on such testing.
* Up to now, Trump has defended his negotiations with the North Korean leader, saying they've been a success because the country has not engaged in serious missile testing.

North Korea may have expanded its nuclear arsenal with 12 more bombs since President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un first met at a Singapore summit last year.

The Wall Street Journal first reported that intelligence analysts have concluded that the secretive state is accelerating its production of long-range missiles and fissile material, both key components in making nuclear weapons.

Analysts have pored over satellite imagery to discover the movement of shipping containers and trucks at crucial weapons facilities in the northern part of the country, according to The Wall Street Journal. These same analysts estimate Pyongyang now has between 20 and 60 nuclear weapons.

Trump is slowly, gradually, falling into the Obama trap of a nuclear arrangement with North Korea that is unfavourable.

I have always been of the opinion that most accepted analysis (and these include opinion pieces from the WNU Editor) have been woefully wrong on this subject, that North Korea is throwing a soft-ball with the intention of playing the long-game.

They will...
>Wait out the Trump administration and delay any firm solid cemented agreements
>They will, take on the appearance of wanting cooperation, while also, making shallow promises.
>They will, use their current nuclear arsenal, as a means to strengthen their bargaining position, which is a position that sees them coming out on top.
>They will develop and continue their missile program in an effort to create a reliable launch platform for their nuclear arsenal.
>They won't, accept any deal or arrangement which curtails or limits their nuclear arrangement.
>They may, potentially, favour a Trump Administration if Trump is easily manipulated by the NK regime in terms of appeasement.

They have almost no reason to enter into a deal. Gaddafi had a deal and look what we did to him once he disarmed. The lesson that the North koreans learned from the Libyan intervention is that you've signed your own death warrant once you've disarmed.

OUR MILITARY HAS ADVICE FOR THE PRESIDENT TO COUNTER N.KOREA

Gadaffi has a deal with George Bush, a Republican.

Obama actually resisted going into Libya for 3 to 7 months, but then the Italian and French leaders worked on him. Also Samantha Power a university academic and journalist campaigned with in the Obama administration for the war (& people are afraid of John Bolton?). If Obama had listened to his 1st instinct, he would have not gone into Libya.

Samantha Power never spent a day in uniform, but she did get some glamour shots.

I will say this for Samantha Power.

Pictures of her make a powerful case for miscegenation.

Take her to a Klan rally and the Klansmen would all disband and marry black girls.

Once again a PhD posts against an article but not on the topic. The topic is Korea and the PhD shows its Trump Derangement Syndrome.


"-- Why Trump swallowed a budget deal that bleeds red ink "

It never occurs to the PhD that Nancy Pelosi drafted that red ink budget and will vote for it.

Troll showing the same symptoms. Just against Dems. That budget is a compromise. Of course nobody’s gonna be happy about it.

Agreed. But. Other than war which would kill millions there's no way out. Everyone knows this. Hence it is what it is.
