India TV: North Korea spent estimated $620 million on nuclear weapons in 2019

North Korea was estimated to have spent $620 million on its nuclear weapons program last year, an international anti-nuclear weapons group said. The International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, a Nobel Peace Prize-winning organization, made the estimation in a report about the expenditures that nine countries, including the North, made on nuclear development

The figure was drawn based on a South Korean think tank's estimate that the North spent 35 percent of its gross national income (GNI) on its military in 2009, as well as data from Global Zero, another anti-nuclear weapon group, that the North was believed to have spent 6 percent of the military budget on nuclear development in 2011.

President Grandpa tweeted that they no longer have nuclear weapons; so this is odd.

Thank God Obama took care of it. Just like Obama showed Iran and Russia who's boss. Totally remember how Putin respected Obama when he called him a child. Also. .Obama's pivot to Asia was a grand success. My my wish or savior Barackucrambo would come back. Lived the way he totally protected the police force and didn't use the DOJ,IRS and FBI to target political opponents making our democracy stronger. That sunshine of a man

"Trump says there is ‘AWESOME’ economic potential for North Korea — if Kim abandons nukes"

Which is kind of odd considering that spitwads like you have been proclaiming since 2016, that we would get us into nuclear war.

"“Putin and his top advisers routinely denigrated Obama and his national security team as ‘weak’ and ‘indecisive’ — and then, contradictorily, blamed him for meddling in Russia’s internal affairs. In Putin’s presence, Obama would be called a ‘monkey,’ and it was not uncommon for the American president to be referred to as the N-word.”"


Obama was held in such high regard by Putin's inner circle as a respected statesman that Putin's inner circle called him the N word.



Obama describes Putin as 'like a bored kid'
