Exact title: [h=1]In North Korea, Missile Bases Suggest a Great Deception[/h]
Snippet:
As I said back in April, Trump's visit and his fawning of Kim Jong Un was nothing but political theater that accomplished no real deal. Kim essentially punked Trump, as so many suggested. This is what happens when neophytes think they are experts in diplomacy -- they get played.

You remember when Trump admirers were saying that he should get a Nobel Prize for striking peace with North Korea? President Trump claimed he would use his world-class dealmaking skills to convince North Korea’s dictator, Kim Jong Un, to surrender his nuclear weapons.WASHINGTON — North Korea is moving ahead with its ballistic missile program at 16 hidden bases that have been identified in new commercial satellite images, a network long known to American intelligence agencies but left undiscussed as President Trump claims to have neutralized the North’s nuclear threat.
The satellite images suggest that the North has been engaged in a great deception: It has offered to dismantle a major launching site — a step it began, then halted — while continuing to make improvements at more than a dozen others that would bolster launches of conventional and nuclear warheads.
