(135,870 posts)2. North Korea making 'rapid' upgrades to nuclear reactor despite summit pledges
North Korea has continued to upgrade its only known nuclear reactor used to fuel its weapons program, satellite imagery has shown, despite ongoing negotiations with the US and a pledge to denuclearise.
Infrastructure improvements at the Yongbyon nuclear plant are continuing at a rapid pace, according to an analysis by monitoring group 38 North of commercial satellite images taken on 21 June.
The cooling system for the plutonium production reactor has been modified and at least two new non-industrial buildings have been built on the site, possibly for use by visiting officials. A new engineering office building has been completed and construction has continued on support facilities throughout the complex, according to a blog post written by Frank V Pabian, Joseph S Bermudez Jr and Jack Liu.
The North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, has committed to complete denuclearisation in meetings with Donald Trump and South Korean president Moon Jae-in, but the details of how and when that will happen have not yet been decided. Kim announced earlier this year the the Norths nuclear arsenal and weapons capable of striking the US were complete, and the North closed its only known nuclear test site in May.

(5,812 posts)9. As usual, tRump has been outwitted.
As used to be said of Bush II, All hat, no cattle, applies doubly to tRump. He talks a good game and then comes up lame. Youd think his minions would have figured this out by now, but unfortunately they are still enthralled by his rhetoric. The Dems need to be pointing out his failures nonstop between now and the election. Hammer him and do not be deterred by his bigger than life personality or his swagger. It is all part of the show.

presence, which was a huge win for North Korea. And it was so easy. Just take some pictures with our Prezzie.
