Well, well....
Time to drop some MOABs on everything we know about nuclear-wise to stress prodigious intolerance for such activity.
NBC News. “Intelligence Officials”. Just the kind of people who would want this to be true. How about they share some hard evidence.
They want it both ways:
Money AND nukes.
How is this new..?
I’m not too worried about NK fooling U.S. Intel.
Our insistence on verification will be quite intrusive.
I would caution “Rocket boy” to walk softly, Trump will not abide his usual “bait and switch” tactics to just acquire cash, and then run back to his old ways.
Resume the war games, keep the carriers parked nearby, and end all negotiations until they are in full compliance.
I’m sure Trump has his antennae up and is watching the Norkie Pillsbury dough boy...he is no fool.
I never bought that fat boy would cave so easily, especially when his power is being threatened...he won’t be “da king” anymore if the Koreas rejoin.
We’ll see what happens.
That’s how it works, you see. China and other nations told our leaders to meet Kim Jong Un & Co. one-to-one, so we did it. That way, they’re out of excuses, when things get ugly. And younger people in the U.S.A. begin to get a real education on the matter.
Our military leaders and the Trump Administration knew what would happen. So did many of us who were involved in whatever capacities during the Cold War or properly educated during the early ‘70s and before.
Granted, there are many baby boomers (including some in military leadership positions) who didn’t want to see what was in front of them. ...no more high-intensity conflicts, etc. Sure. Yeah, right.
You would think after all these years we’d learn our lesson............but, no.
The difference is in what will this administration do about it? The reports of other facilities etc. leaking out now is probably a signal to the NK - don't try it, we know xyz facility(ies) are not the only ones you have.
If (ha, who are we kidding, when) NK is in violation of the agreement, President Trump should move swiftly and decisively to shut down our side of the agreement. I'm guessing that's just a matter of weeks away.
So now it’s “ US intelligence officials”
Who normally publish their findings in the Washington Posf
Because that is more helpful to US national security than letting the Trump administration work the issue through valid intel and diplomatic channels ( sarc)
Is anyone surprised? I'm not. The Nork's have been playing this game of lying and deceit to get what they want for a very long time.
Until the Nork's have a "Berlin Wall" type of moment such as where the North Korean people are allowed to freely leave the country, the North Korean Government starts feeding the people instead of starving them or our own military is welcomed in to supervise the true dismantling of their nuclear program AND the remains of our war dead are turned over respectfully there's just no way in hell the Nork's should get even a modicum of trust from our Government, period.
In short, Kim Jong Un shouldn't be trusted as far as he can be thrown, period.
A key part of the deal should be no icbms and no launch facilities. It’s harder to hide that than a nuclear bomb.
Now, Trump's admin says the NORKs are trying to play a game that Trump already said will bite them in the @$$ and claim Trump is letting the NORKs put one over on him...and we have concern trolls right here aiding and abetting those trying to squash the deal...if it wasn't so pathetic it would be funny.
Unnamed intelligence officials reported by the Washington Post — without other confirming sources I don’t believe anything from the WP. They have zero credibility and push anything that is negative to the Trump Administration.
Q says this is fake news.
“reports” = the hallmark of fake news ...
no need to read further ...
I’m calling this fake news.
The impetus of the construction of this article is worth acknowledging. I’d say the intent albeit based on perhaps legitimate sources appears to be to record this President as some kind of fool being played by a lesser fool.
Just another whack at Trump by the Post is what I see.
“the Washington Post said Sunday”
Well now I know that I can’t believe a word about this. The very top of the Deep State media said it. Anonymous sources of course. The left is trying everything within its powers to make Donald Trump fail on NK.
