North Korea Razing Key Missile Test Stand....
38North ^ | 6/7/2018 | Joseph S. Bermudez Jr.

Posted on 06/07/2018 7:58:09 AM PDT by caww

New commercial satellite imagery indicates that North Korea is razing the missile test stand at the Iha-ri Driver Training and Test Facility north of the city of Kusong in the wake of Kim Jong Un’s April statement announcing a unilateral suspension of ballistic missile and nuclear tests. The stand is the only known facility used for land-based, canister-launched ballistic missile ejection tests critical for developing the solid-propellant Pukguksong-2 (KN-15) medium-range ballistic missile and its follow-on systems. The stand could also have been used for testing larger canister-based ballistic missiles such as the intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM) displayed during the April 2017 military parade in Pyongyang. It is unclear whether the destruction of the stand is an indication that the North is suspending this portion of its missile program or that Pyongyang plans to erect other similar facilities in the future.

Kim want’s a Big Mac...

It is a heck of a balancing act but I suspect, if it is possible, Trump will get it done.

Trump has been the biggest kick in the pant the U.S. has ever seen. LOVE THIS GUY!

We’ve gone from head in the sand to boots on the ground. Fabulous!

I agree..if its actually possible Trump will get it done. Heck even this week ol Putin praised for arranging this summit. Which is at least on par with hesitant EU leaders.

...”The MSM would be swooning had this happened under Obama’s.”.....

Oh my gosh yes and there would be bands playing and Hollywood would be talking of little else on the late night shows..

Read recently there are about 2,500 news organizations slated to cover this meeting so even if our news flat-lines the rest of the world will be watching!

Everything seems to perfect. That makes me suspicious. In fact, there is nothing NK can do that wouldn’t make me suspicious.

I'm with you on that.
