New satellite images reveal activity at unidentified North Korean missile base
CNN ^ | Dec. 5, 2018 | Zachary Cohen

Posted on 12/05/2018 2:08:09 PM PST by Innovative

New satellite images obtained exclusively by CNN reveal North Korea has significantly expanded a key long-range missile base located in the mountainous interior of the country, offering yet another reminder that diplomatic talks with the US have done little to prevent Kim Jong Un from pursuing his promise to mass produce and deploy the existing types of nuclear warheads in his arsenal.

The satellite imagery offers evidence that the Yeongjeo-dong missile base and a nearby, previously unreported site remain active and have been continuously upgraded, underscoring the reality of just how far apart Washington and Pyongyang are on the issue of denuclearization despite five months of sporadic talks.

While the base at Yeongjeo-dong has long been known to US intelligence agencies and analysts, researchers at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey told CNN that the images reveal construction on a new facility just seven miles away from the older site that had not been previously publicly identified.

Obviously they cannot be trusted.

But they will need to understand that they have a lot to lose, such as their very existence, if they want to start something against the US. Especially now with President Trump at the helm.

Obviously we are getting breathless reports that North Korea is tricking Trump, and they are coming from the intelligence agencies and other groups that launched a coup against him.

They can’t stand that he is having success. They hate it with a passion and would rather it all fall apart back into full on confrontation than to see a Trump success.

As far as I am concerned, the anti-US CIA fed CNN a photo from the 1980s of a Russian base until proven otherwise.

How much did North Korea donate to various Democrats and the DNC?

Oh, my, that won’t go over well at DU, I suppose.

Activity could be a couple different things.

My guess: they are dismantling equipment for putting into secretnstorage.

Remember, when Madeline Albright and Kim were toasting, Kim was building a secret Nuclear Research plant, violating the very treaty he signed with Madeline

"They can’t stand that he is having success. They hate it with a passion and would rather it all fall apart back into full on confrontation than to see a Trump success."

Indeed, there are numerous enemies in the US who would rather see many dead than support Trump and other patriotic Americans.

#2. Re images obtained exclusively by CNN means they paid a commercial satellite company for them. You and I can do that too.

A long time ago, an Australian researcher of communism wrote a book that summed up the whole concept of understanding and dealing with communists. It’s name is “You Can Trust the Communists To Be Communists”.

Still holding the waters of truth after all these years and John Bolton, especially, along with Sebastian Gorka, understand and live with this reality.

CNN is reporting last month’s news. The base at Yeongjeo-dong was reported by the Washington Post in 1999.

Another media hit from the left against the Trump Administration’s work with North Korea. NPR was spewing the same propaganda today.

Another non-report report that should not surprise anyone. Meanwhile the banking embargo and political isolation continues to grind away at them.

Believe CNN or North Korea? That is a tough choice but at this point I say North Korea.

Trump should hit what they see knowing it is against the spirit of disarmament. they see the weakness and continue on while we bark..Hit the site and tell them it will not be tolerated..either disarm or perish..everything else is political BS smoke and mirrors
