US media: Pyongyang did not think to disarm

In North Korea, the expansion of a ballistic missile factory capable of striking US military facilities continues, the newspaper reported Wall Street Journal.

The publication, referring to the results of the satellite imagery study conducted by the Middlebury Institute for International Studies, claims that the production of solid propellant ballistic missiles capable of reaching US military facilities in Asia continues in the area of ​​the city of Khamkhung (DPRK). They also produce warheads for long-range missiles, which can be used to strike continental America.

Moreover, the expansion of the said production facility near Khamkhyn is in the completion stage, work on it did not stop even during the US-DPRK summit.

This circumstance, according to one of the researchers of the David Schmerler Institute, is strong evidence that the North Korean authorities are not going to curtail their nuclear missile program, even under pressure from Washington.

In addition, the researcher expressed confidence that not far from the plant near Khamkhyn there are two more enterprises producing similar products. The photographs show that an access road was laid to one object, and near the second one, recent demolition work was carried out, which may indicate the implementation of plans to expand the enterprise.

Recall earlier resource 38 North also published material related to the study of satellite imagery. According to experts, the infrastructure around the nuclear center in Yongbyon is currently being rapidly developed in the DPRK. Experts believe that the object continues to work as usual, because it did not receive specific instructions from the country's leadership.

Really!

[MPN]

Now you can, the main thing for the Trump Peace Prize was announced, but what more was needed there?

[For example]

I think Trump will need a peace prize only if there is no toilet paper in the toilet.
He has enough money. With regard to other ambitions, the position of "President of the United States" is higher than any award.

[MPN]

Do not tell the world prestige ... It's not about the money, but everyone is torn ... Do you think the grandchildren of Medvedev are impoverished? Not at all, but you cannot expel from the government.
In general, I just ironized about trump ...

Calm, comrades! Until the Trump is given the Nobel Prize (the Yankees have a subscription there), everything will be quiet and alright. Well, then they will call each other again!

Major Yurik (Yuri) : ... Until the Trump will be given the Nobel Prize (for the Yankees there is a subscription) ...

Well said! Already it became a little enviable
I propose to raise Comrade Major Yurik to Major General

Eun does not need the fate of Gaddafi and Hussein. Why is it incomprehensible? No agreement with the United States gives any guarantee in its execution by them.

Good day, Oleg.
Americans are strange people, to put it mildly. All interpret in their favor, trampling the truth. During the negotiations between Un and Trump, the DPRK intended to stop FURTHER work on nuclear weapons (the DPRK even exceeded these intentions by blowing up several buildings at the training ground), and from the United States, not to demonstrate its squadrons near the coast of the DPRK, and nothing more. There was no discussion of the DPRK disarmament (Eun - not crap ) The issue of denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula can only be considered with the US withdrawal from this region and the elimination of American bases in it (as the third player in the region, China, also stated).

Strange as that. The stripes have not signed anything binding, they have not canceled any sanctions, and much more is NOT! Why is Kim in a hurry to disarm ???

Uncle Sam will not disdain, he’ll also make sausages from the driven cattle .... or dog food, which doesn’t matter, for that cattle!

[taiga2018]

and you thought that everything was around, and you are the most intelligent alone ...

[solzh]

Well, everything is back to square one. Kim will not disarm, the United States does not promise that it promised to North Korea, they don’t want to fulfill it and America will not withdraw its troops from South Korea. Soon a new round of tension awaits us on the Korean peninsula.

[parusnik]

Well, Duc, what did Trump expect from the Agreement of Intent ... The parties agreed that they would do so, but they didn’t take any obligations on themselves ... Both sides won for themselves in the information plan ... Remained with their .. .

[Egorovich]

Eun owes nothing to anyone, and especially to mattresses. He sneezed on the striped and quietly continues his work. Well done, and only !!!

[HAM]

Highly Likely - in action!
More than that at the UN it is necessary to wave .....

In North Korea, the process of expanding a ballistic missile manufacturing enterprise capable of attacking US military facilities continues, the Wall Street Journal reported.

When and where in the USA was it heard that the DPRK has the intention to discontinue the development and production of ballistic missiles? It has always been about "denuclearization." “Denuclearization” is a refusal to use nuclear weapons and it applies not only to the DPRK but to the entire Korean Peninsula. And the eta "denuclearization" can take place only after a change in US hostile policy and after receiving "full, verifiable and irreversible" guarantees for the DPRK that there will be no new US aggression.
A nuclear weapon carrier can beat both aircraft and a torpedo. Is it possible on this basis to include in the "denuclearization" and the abandonment of aircraft, submarines, and so on?

So Trump said that the DPRK will curtail its production of ballistic missiles)))

Quote: Kostadinov

The United States will never give up its hostile policies.
Hence the conclusion: there will be no denuclearization on the Korean peninsula. Kim does not look like a suicide bomber)))

[A.]

Judeo-Anglo-Saxons, begin disarmament with yourself. From Israel, England, Matrasia, etc., etc.

[parusnik]

Eun signed the Agreement of Intent and no more ... Trump for some reason is sure that he signed the DPRK Nuclear Disarmament Treaty ...

[nathanael]

Kim would be the last idiot if he believed trump

[Dormidont]

As said classic

[NF68]

Fools believe the US is dumb. Not surprisingly, after the US rejected a nuclear deal with Iran.

[Kerensky]

If the tests are not carried out, then the minimum acceptable level of quality is achieved. Now the question is quantity. Which is logical. Not such a budget in Korea to bullet on Mondays.

Most likely yes. Or all of these “Requirements” and “agreements of intent” are only bargained. As usual. They demand a maximum, in the end they agree to a minimum. One plus. Kim agreed to "denuclearization." If this is even done, it’s already a big plus.
There is no question of any conclusion until there are some irreversible changes. The Americans understand this very well.

Any country will interpret any agreement in its favor. And the main thing is to reach a compromise. When "the sheep will be whole and the wolves are full." And it doesn't happen fast

Having blown up the emergency adits at the DPRK training ground, nothing exceeded intentions. Stopping further work on nuclear weapons does not imply the destruction of a nuclear testing ground, or, in extreme cases, at the last stage. And before that, the term denuclearization implies, first of all, not only a halt, but also the dismantling of weapons and nuclear complex enterprises. So it will be necessary to stop the storage reactor, radiochemical enterprises. It is possible to reduce the number of centrifuges, leaving enough to create fuel for nuclear power plants (which the DPRK does not have)
The Americans are fulfilling their part of the agreement. No squadron is currently observed in the DPRK area; joint exercises with South Korea on the territory of South Korea are suspended.

This was one of the American conditions. And what's the point in ballistic missiles, especially medium and intercontinental range in the absence of nuclear equipment? What can a rocket with a warhead of 750-800 kg do on an ICBM, if at the same time it will have a KVO of 5 kilometers ???

Quote: Kostadinov

“Denuclearization” is a refusal to use nuclear weapons and it applies not only to the DPRK but to the entire Korean Peninsula.

This is a refusal not to use nuclear weapons, but to dismantle the weapons and nuclear complex and dismantle available samples of nuclear weapons

Quote: Kostadinov

and it applies not only to the DPRK but to the entire Korean peninsula.

This applies primarily to the DPRK, since South Korea does not have nuclear weapons production. And to nuclear power plants and to enterprises engaged in the fabrication of fuel for nuclear power plants

Quote: Kostadinov

And the eta "denuclearization" can take place only after a change in US hostile policy and after receiving "full, verifiable and irreversible" guarantees for the DPRK that there will be no new US aggression.

US policy change? with different "weights" of the parties to this agreement? Guarantees, complete, verifiable and irreversible Americans can give. Just understand the term "irreversible"? For example, the Americans removed the squadron from the DPRK, and so what? If necessary, return them - just spit. So the question is mutual. The DPRK will also need "full, irreversible and verifiable" guarantees. Let time pass, let’s see what and how it will be.

A nuclear weapon carrier can beat both aircraft and a torpedo. Is it possible on this basis to include in the "denuclearization" and the abandonment of aircraft, submarines, and so on?

And nobody demands it. Torpedoes are not at all involved. The DPRK does not yet have technologies for the miniaturization of charges to such a size that this charge could be placed in torpedo bomb detachments. Submarines are also out of business here. This can only affect their one boat with a mine and several boats with SLBMs that are currently under construction. aviation? But this is not funny at all. The DPRK has bombers that are nothing more than a Chinese version of our IL-28 bomber ...

Yes, what is the minimum level of quality after 6 tests. the simplest charges, most likely of the cannon type. The issue of quantity is also a problem. They have only one reactor, plutonium production is known, the number of centrifuges is not very large. so they won’t succeed in increasing the quantity ...
