NORTH KOREA ISN'T DISMANTLING MISSILE FACILITIES, SATELLITE IMAGERY REVEALS
Newsweak ^ | June 15, 2018 | Jason Lemon

Posted on 06/17/2018 11:22:15 AM PDT by lowbridge

There is no visible indication that North Korea has begun dismantling missile launch sites as reportedly promised, according to satellite imagery shared by 38 North.

The program, hosted by the U.S.-Korea Institute at Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies, analyzed and posted imagery of the known locations of North Korea’s missile launch facilities on Thursday and Friday. According to the analysis, 38 North reported that it could not identify “any activity associated with the dismantlement” at any testing sites.

There are six known launch and engine testing facilities as well as two eject test stands scattered throughout North Korea.

"Of these facilities and test stands, it is likely that President [Donald] Trump’s comment on June 12 regarding the destruction of a '… major missile engine testing site' was not referring to either the Iha-ri test stand—which was razed in May—or the Sinpo South Shipyard test stand that has not been used in approximately a year. And contrary to the president’s statement, both sites have been solely used for ejection tests, not engine tests or launches," the report indicated.

Perhaps they should check the dates on their Google Maps. They usually wait at least a year before posting publicly.

We haven’t called off joint military exercises yet either (officially).

What’s the big deal?

Poor Newsweak, the aptitude of five year old children...

If Kim Jong Un said he would dismantle his missiles, there is no doubt that he will dismantle those missiles.

Plus it’s Newsweak, the rabid anti-Trump liberal rag that sold for $1, was it?

So Business Insider has access to the Keyhole program now? I didn’t think so.

Newsweak seems to be having a problem.

It would seem they are almost giddy about reporting a weapons site in North Korea is not gone yet.

Newsweak, your time is done as well.

Maybe they are dismantling them — maybe not. All the dismantling is not viewable via satellite photos. But it matters not. After all Trump just had the first meeting with NK just five days ago. :-)

Newsweak is what kind of news?

Class? Class!

That’s right: fake news.

And people associated with American universities are what kind of leftard?

Class? Class!

That’s right: filthy, despicable, lying leftards.

Outline a solution to these horrible problems and have it on my desk by Monday. Original thoughts only.

Donald J Trump doesn’t govern via NewsWEAK. It’ll happen, or Kim will pay a dear price.

I trust Trump exponentially more than I trust NewsWEAK.

Just libs being libs. Newsweak and Time and all the rest have lost their power in one election.

They cannot believe it. They do not believe in any power other than that afforded them.

They do not Trust in God.

Given that Trump later mentioned the particular site, and it was one NK didn’t think we knew about, this whole article’s premise of examining all the known sites to see activity lacks credibility.

Just another biased hit job from the fake news.
