North Korea has increased nuclear production
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Trump said N. Korea wasn’t a nuclear threat anymore. Was he stupid or just a liar (or both)?

At best, Trump got played by a dictator making the same empty promises.
At worst, Trump is looking away as he hopes to destroy the Western alliance and align with Russia, China, NK, etc.
Either way, he's frighteningly incompetent. #Resist https://t.co/lWcCJLsB3O via @NBCNews

The Trump administration promised Congress a window into, and even say in, the North Korea nuclear talks. So far, lawmakers have gotten virtually nothing, reports @desiderioDC https://t.co/mCWxpJZvqn

Trump breaks nuclear deal with country where it was working; then cuts nuclear deal with another country that doesn’t work. https://t.co/dnco88ovyt

That love fest didnt last long did it?
It really hasn't gotten started. It doesn't matter much anyway because they have no way to test or launch them now.

So much 'winning', right? Can you stand it? Can you wait for the Putin blow to begin? Its pretty amazing to see all the republicans believing Kim's promises (well, they also believe Trump's lies, not a stretch I guess).
I still think I'm in shock about how stupid so many Trump followers are. I can't wrap my head around how they aren't able to distinguish between fact and fiction. It's depressing.
Well when y'all were spiking the football and calling for Trump to get the Nobel, it sure seemed like thought you were at the END GOAL, not the start.
What you should recognize is that they already HAVE the ICBM testing done. Despite Trump's BS about there no longer being a nuclear threat from NK, they are improving on their existing nuclear weapons facilities. Now they need only perfect miniaturization of their nuclear warheads. They don't need launch pads to do that.
Say it ain't so!
Who didn't. except for Trump's deplorables, didn't see this coming?
OMG....now that is hilarious. And oh so true.
Tee Hee!
I've never seen liberals root so relentlessly against peace. Weird.
What you are seeing is liberals rooting relentlessly against FRAUD.
And capitulation to tyranny.
And stupidity. Kim Jong Un made a fool of Trump, without half trying.
The other world leaders play chess while Trump plays 'go fish.'
Why didn't they do that when Clinton made deals with NK?
So to clarify, do you think Trump did everything he should have done meeting with Kim, and are happy with the outcome? What exactly did we get again?
Probably because Clinton's ’Agreed Framework between the United States of America and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK)’ wasn't a FRAUD! One need only review the statement by the UN to realize that.
It really does not take much to do that anyway, so Kimmy didn't have try very hard to do that.
An idiot child dealing with an idiot child. Just what the world needs.
And they both want to play Truth or Dare with their nuke buttons.
On a more serious note it's difficult to believe that anyone would believe that Un would give up his nuclear weapons. It's his ''trump card'' so to speak.
Now that this information has hit the news it will be interesting to see the comments from the U.S. and NK. China isn't sitting on the sidelines with their hat in their hand. China as always preferred negotiations and to see economic developement take place then confrontation. Stability to them is all important.
China will be a major player in any movement from either side.
China funds the sustenance diet that Korea lives on. China uses the NK as the distractive boogey man while they do whatever the hell they want with their state controlled economy and their absorption of natural resources from across the globe, it gives them all the tools they need to take the US's place as the leading economic engine on the planet.
China uses NK as a buffer for what is known as their soft underbelly. That will not change, and in 1950 they warned us not to come into NK and the Yulu river. History shows that they meant it.
I don't see them using NK as a distraction bogie man at all. It's in China's advantage to have a stable country as a buffer next to them. It's NK that makes itself the bogie man. Does China support NK, yes they do but I don't agree that it's uses it as a bogie man.
They do not need a distraction to do what they want with their economy, and yes I believe in the future that they will be the largest economy on the planet. Population alone dictates that.
As a side not, America also used natural resources from across the globe and many times stuck our nose where it didn't belong. China included.
The Opium Wars of the 19th Century and what the Chinese called the ''Century of Humiliation'' 1840-1945 is still foremost in the minds of Chinese.
Which they could facilitate any time they wanted. They choose to keep NK right on the edge.
Only with the help of China. If not for China, NK wouldn't have the infrastructure to create a nuck.
I suppose we'll have to agree to disagree.
Yes the Chinese have tended to blame the 'qwai loh' for all of their ills from the first time they saw a white man.
I tend to think that it's NK that keeps itself on the edge. My experience is that if NK wanted to deal more on a commercial level with China, I believe that China would be more helpful in building up their infrastructure/economy.
Actually I haven't found that to be true. I started traveling to China in the early 1980's on business and over the ensuing years did a lot of business with them. I suppose that it could be true, but I've not seen it. Another thing that helped me in China was that my daughter taught English there for two years and is fluent in Mandarin....
Hi Dulay, how have you been?
Since China is NK's #1 trading partner, I don't see how they could deal MORE on a commercial level. Especially since NK doesn't have a pot to piss in.
Nk's #1 export is coal briquettes, 99.6% of it to China. Other than that NK's only commodity that China actually needs is slave labor.
It isn't for you to see. Will they do business with you? Absolutely.
But you are a 'qwai loh', a 'foreign devil'. You aren't a 'part of the family' and never can be because you are not Chinese. The Chinese are THE most monoracial culture in the modern world.
LOL, come on Dulay, do you think I came in with the last turnip truck. For goodness sake I did business there for 25 years..Of course i know that they'll do business with me (anyone) and I'll never be part of the family...Don't you think that I took that into consideration...
BTW, I'm in a movie that was shot there. I'm the token American (Native American)...LOL...
I'd say that the Japanese will give the Chinese a run for their money on being a monoracial culture...And yes, I spent a lot of time in Japan as well.
John, not only are the first prize winner on NT for posting anti-Trump articles and comments, it appears you need to make your feelings so brilliantly clear that you have to make sure that only one story about Kim increasing nuclear enrichment notwithstanding what he agreed with Trump about in Singapore isn't enough, you have to make sure there are at least TWO stories that say it:
I posted this quite a while before you posted yours - oh, and does it still make me the "Trumpster" that you accused me of?
Thank you for agreeing that the North Koreans played Trump.
Like a Baby Grand piano with no keyboard.
Does this mean no Nobel Prize for the orange baby-man?
If Trumpy doesn't get his Nobel Prize he will have the US pull out of the Nobel Peace Prize Committee. (wink, giggle)
And this is a surprise to who?
Democrats are heroes when they try to make peace but Trump is a Douche bag. The Democratic party also likes to vilify the GOP as the party of war. Go Figure.
Yes NK broke the deals the Democratic presidents made as well. At least they are talking and Trump wasn't stupid enough to sign an agreement that guarantees a country that sponsors terrorism nukes. BUT IT'S TRUMP!
I can't wait to hear all the bitching when he retaliates by slapping them with more sanctions and restarting SK war drills...then you will call him a warmonger and say "He's going to start a war!" LMFAO!!!!
Of course if Trump was doing nothing about NK they would still bitch.
Yeah...this anti-Trump NT crowd is pretty predictable. It sounds like they actually want the peace talks to fail.
Many have already come out and said it.
Really? Many actually said he was getting played by North Korea, and that Trump's ego was driving him. We the "many" also said this would play out just like it has.
While the "many" on the right kept running with the hoopla about Trump getting the Nobel, which also played out. We don't seem to be hearing about that prize anymore.
We also heard Trump wouldn't make any concessions....he bent over for Kim right at the start....For a president to say North Korea had "one shot at this" "North Korea is no longer a nuclear threat" and "If it hadn't been for me we'd be at war with North Korea right now" is just more lies lining up behind the rest of his lies.
I remember the "Lie of the year" that was so heavily pushed when Obama said "if you like your doctor...." Now with over 3000 verified lies from this president we are dealing with the "lie of the year" over 5 times a day....I wonder why the right aren't making any noises about the lies? Hmmm.
