Report: North Korea miniaturized nukes after summit

Nov. 14 (UPI) -- South Korea's spy agency said North Korea has continued to miniaturize nuclear warheads, even after the Singapore summit between Kim Jong Un and U.S. President Donald Trump, according to a South Korean press report.

Members of a South Korean parliamentary intelligence committee told Newsis on Wednesday Seoul's national intelligence service has confirmation North Korea's miniaturization of nuclear weapons has been ongoing, despite agreements to denuclearize.

COMMENT:-

Another blatant attempt by the so-called "MSM" to derogate Mr. Trump's marvelous successes.

All that the "Norks" are making now are tiny little nuclear weapons that couldn't possibly do any harm to a country as big as the United States of America whereas before Mr. Trump negotiated Little Rocket Man into the ground the "Norks" were making great big huge nuclear weapons that could completely destroy America.

Right?

On the other hand, this is just a so-called "report" and there is no positive evidence (like the DPRK launching a nuclear attack on the United States of America) to prove that there is any sliver of truth to it - so we should all "wait until ALL the evidence is in" before forming an opinion.

Right?
 
The South Korean Intel community wouldn't release a report unless they had a certain level of confidence in it. They have the most to lose in the event peace talks with DPRK fail.

The Summit meeting was a flop, and credible reports like these prove that every single day.

Unfortunately, for some, the report isn't credible because it doesn't come from an American source.

For others, the report isn't credible because it doesn't come from an American source AND Mr. Trump hasn't given it his stamp of approval.

For still others, the report isn't credible because they, personally, haven't seen the devices AND the report doesn't come from an American source AND Mr. Trump hasn't told them to believe the report.

Unfortunately, you're an idiot if you're implying the Republic of Korea is unable to gather on North Korea. Literally their biggest threat. I trust South Korea's Intel capabilities on the enemy they've been gathering on since the '50s over a reality game show host. Anyone who takes Trump's word over the word of professionals who have everything to lose from North Korea actually being armed is stupid.

So Trump was full of ****. Who would have guessed?

Jerusalem:
America the laughingstock

England:
Trump Has Made America Into A Laughingstock

Canada:
The year the world laughed at U.S.

Europe:
European diplomats: Trump is a 'laughing stock'

Germany:
'People here think Trump is a laughingstock'

USA:
Trump is making America the laughingstock of the world

OK, maybe a lot of people. Like 7 billion. But besides those people, who would have guessed?

Your sarcasm detector needs batteries

Which wasn't the point I made at all.

The point that I made (or, at least, intended to make) is that there are those in the American polity who wouldn't believe Jesus Christ Himself because he wasn't an American and also because Mr. Trump didn't tell them to believe Him.

Literally their biggest threat. I trust South Korea's Intel capabilities on the enemy they've been gathering on since the '50s over a reality game show host.

So does anyone rational.

Anyone who takes Trump's word over the word of professionals who have everything to lose from North Korea actually being armed is stupid.

Well, at least you didn't call them "deplorable".

Those people don't vote in American elections - so what they think simply doesn't matter.

He already spike the football and told me I can sleep safe cause North Korea is no longer a threat. You tellin' me he was lyin'? :confused:

Except that every agreement with NK has been a flop. In every case, except for Trump, NK swindled us and everyone else. So far under Trump we have not been swindled because we have sanctions at the highest level ever and have not lessoned them, like every other president did.

Except, of course, that's not true. There is the little matter of 'we won't conduct military exercises with South Korea.'

So what? The worst sanctions there have ever been are still in effect and not going anywhere anytime soon unless the Russians or the Chinese let us down. By the way, that is only major war games. We've been doing smaller exercises with the South even as we post.

You do realize that neither the Russians nor the Chinese are under any obligation to consistently act in the best interests of the United States of America - especially when those interests are NOT in the best interests of Russia/China, don't you?

Can you think of any real reason why countries which are constantly being subjected to adverse actions by the government of the United States of America would feel in the least bit concerned if they "let us down" by acting in their own best interests rather than in the best interests of the United States of America?

Minature Nukes?

Only fitting that a minature mushroom dick would cause a minature mushroom cloud!

Wait so Trump accomplished nothing with SK?

I agree but that's not really what we were talking about. You claimed that Trump is somehow giving Kim a major victory by temporarily stopping major war games when Trump hasn't lifted one sanction while trying to get a denuclearization deal. And, the fact that Kim is so adamant about removing some sanctions proves that they are really stinging him badly, even though other countries are somewhat cheating regarding them. Previous presidents fell for the same old Kim regime trick by making agreements to get sanctions lifted and then turning right around and not honoring those agreements just as soon as the sanctions were lifted. In other words, Trump is much smarter than previous presidents have been. Whether it works in the end we'll have to wait to find out.

I'm going to assume that you meant the DPRK (AKA "NORTH Korea", AKA "NK", AKA "Them Commie Bastards", AKA "The Existential Threat to the Very Existence of the United States of America", AKA "The Bogyman"), and the answer is "Yes he did. He provided the leadership of the DPRK with international (and internal) stature and encouraged the ROK and DPRK to resume talking about how to implement the one goal that they both have in common (but which the US government has opposed for the past 60[ish] years - the reunification of Korea.".

Now if you meant to ask if Mr. Trump has done anything positive with the DPRK as far as the United States of America is concerned, I'm much afraid that the answer has to be "No.".
 
Kim Jung Un did very well in the midterm elections, as did Iran, China and Russia, though they failed to capture the Senate.

The sanctions are rather interesting, and you might want to read "North Korea's stable exchange rates confound economists".

You might even want to make the necessary changes to substitute "the United States of America" for "North Korea" in the


First off, North Korea's economy has never been self-reliant. It has depended heavily on exporting goods such as coal, textiles and seafood.

"There's a reason these goods are sanctioned," said Benjamin Katzeff Silberstein, co-editor of North Korean Economy Watch. He added that Kim has been trying to boost domestic production to reduce the country's reliance on imports and lift consumption of domestically made goods, which wouldn't be necessary if North Korea was economically self-reliant.

bit and then think about it some.
