webfact Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 North Korea appears to be building one or two ICBMs - Washington Post The North Korea flag flutters next to concertina wire at the North Korean embassy in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia March 9, 2017. REUTERS/Edgar Su WASHINGTON (Reuters) - North Korea appears to be building one or two new liquid-fuelled intercontinental ballistic missiles at a factory that produced the country's first missiles capable of reaching the United States, the Washington Post reported on Monday. The newspaper, citing unidentified officials familiar with intelligence reporting, said U.S. spy agencies were seeing signs of the construction at a large research facility in Sanumdong, on the outskirts of Pyongyang. The findings are the latest to suggest ongoing activity in North Korea's nuclear and missile facilities despite arms talks with the United States and a recent summit between North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and U.S. President Donald Trump. U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee last week that North Korea was continuing to produce fuel for nuclear bombs despite its pledge to denuclearize. But he insisted the Trump administration was still making progress in its talks with Pyongyang. Trump said in a Twitter post after his historic summit with Kim in Singapore last month: "Everybody can now feel much safer than the day I took office. There is no longer a Nuclear Threat from North Korea." Kim committed in a broad summit statement to work towards denuclearisation, but Pyongyang has offered no details as to how it might go about that.

Build a spiffy new one, to build a newer generation of long-range missiles. Who's tired of too much winning? 7 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billd766 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 (edited) If the information came from any US intelligence agency Trump will simply call it fake news. He has already said that he doesn't trust or believe them Of course if he does believe them, then as usual he has changed his mind, again.

Popular Post soalbundy Posted July 31, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 31, 2018 No need to worry, Trump has a 'fantastic' (it's always fantastic, as in fantasy ) with Kim who is a clever guy, cleverer than you Donny boy, he didn't even have to sweat pulling you across the table, I hear he is writing a book, 'Art of the international deal'. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Kasset Tak Posted July 31, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 31, 2018 I believe that Kim was OK with denuclearization after meeting Trump... but then Mike Pompeo tried to make it all about US: July 5-7, 2018: U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo visits Pyongyang and meets with Kim Yong Chol "to continue consultations and implement the forward progress" from the June 12 U.S.-North Korean summit. Pompeo characterized the talks as "productive" and "good-faith negotiations" but the North Korean Foreign Ministry released a statement after the visit characterizing U.S. proposals as "unilateral and robber-like denuclearization demands," further claiming that they "go against the spirit of the North-U.S. summit meeting."... So who to blame, North Korea for trying or the Trump administration... And it's the same with Iran... telling them that they have to change to follow US/Western standards and not arm militias in the Arabic world... while US are arming countries and militias in the Arabic world that are against Iran... talk about double standards........... 8 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redline Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Well, that wasn’t predictable ? Lucky all of the military exercises are canceled indefinitely with South Korea and Japan. Maybe the promise of the Trump hotel with a McDonalds and KFC is not happening after all? I think Kim glued the Elton John CD to the nose cone ?

Popular Post ballpoint Posted July 31, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 31, 2018 Well, I was one of the doubters, but I must give credit where it's due. This clearly proves that Kim is serious about denuclearization. By putting all his nuclear bombs into rockets and flying them to Trump's place for safe keeping. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emster23 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 (edited) Kim probably told Donnie that "we may build more missiles that could reach USA, but I promise we won't aim at US. Maybe Chad or someplace like that. Not to worry". And thought "Jeez, this is just too easy..." Edited July 31, 2018 by Emster23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunFred Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 The lessons of World War 2, apparently unlearned. When you reduce a population of crypto-simians to a slavering pack of mendicants, lined up with begging bowls, you tend to drive home the point that further belligerence will NOT be tolerated. When you use corporate "diplomacy" where REAL life is never at stake. You are seen as weak and someone who need not be taken seriously. I despise Trump and everything he stands for but feral cunning is supposedly his strong point. He is not showing it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChouDoufu Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 so what? there's been no denukularization agreement yet...., just an agreement to keep talking in talks leading to another agreement to set a conference to form a committee to jointly call for beautiful chocolate cake. rocket man has ceased nukular tests and missile launches. orange julius has suspended war games. ...........talks continue. you gotta ask - what is the agenda of the media reporting on kim's "cheating" when there is no agreement or treaty on which to cheat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You believe Kim was OK with denuclearization???? OMG....I have a some lovely swampland in Florida I would love to sell you!!! You must be totally blind to history. Kim has never followed ANY international guidelines, UN resolutions or treaties EVER. He murders his own relatives, imprisons a large number of his fellow countryman, starves the rest and you believe him????? Are you drinking too much soju? Interesting how you blame Trump for US/Western Iranian policies since the Iranian "denuclearization"/moratorium was signed under Obama. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
