North Korea appears to have started dismantling key facilities at a rocket-engine test center, a group of experts said Monday, potentially marking a significant step after last month's summit between Kim Jong Un and US President Donald Trump.

Even if I see this happening, I won’t believe it! they could stash everything somewhere else while destroying what the camera gets... I don’t trust them and never will.

They could make their country into a thriving country.. if they had the will and the bad dudes over there could change their thinking to what would make them wealthy and more.. Trump has offered to help them do this.. don’t know how involved our money would be to them.. but China won’t want them to stray from the control they have over that part of the world. But their choices, since Trump... are limited.

They are just doing this to deflect attention away from Trumps treasonous activities with Putin last week. /s but very close to what you see on the “news”.

On the other hand, rocket test stands A) aren’t really special technologically in the same way centrifuges are, so they can be simply reconstituted at any time, and B) aren’t useful if they aren’t deployed.

“I don’t trust them and never will.”

Same here. NK has a long way to go before I can even think of trusting them.
