Expert: The message about the hidden missile bases in the DPRK "misleading"

15
Research team 38 North at the University. Hopkins analyzed the information of the New York Times (NYT) about the discovery of previously unknown missile bases in North Korea 16 and concluded that it does not correspond to reality.



According to the NYT, new bases were detected using satellite imagery.

An article in the newspaper misleads readers, because it does not even correspond to the materials on the basis of which is written, says one of the members of the expert group.

First, the existence of all these bases was long known by the American government. Donald Trump also knows about them.

Secondly, the author points out, the article states that any of the missiles at these bases can deliver a nuclear warhead. However, Joseph Bermudez himself (one of the American analysts, on the basis of which this article was written) says that nuclear-powered missiles are “possible, but unlikely.”

On Tuesday, US President Donald Trump also denied “fake newsNYT. He stated that the administration is aware of these bases, and they are the subject of negotiations with North Korea. “Nothing new happens there. We are fully aware of these objects. This is just another fake news, ”Trump said.

As the 38 North expert emphasized, much remains to be done for Pyongyang and Washington to break the ice that prevents normal relations: without rocket threats on the one hand and hasty accusations of disrupting the agreements reached on the other.

Recall, Donald Trump Kim Jong-un during a meeting in Singapore 12 June signed an agreement in which Pyongyang undertook to denuclearize the Korean Peninsula in exchange for security guarantees from Washington. According to the President of the United States, a new meeting with the head of the DPRK may take place at the beginning of 2019.

    I think everything is simple here ... the Americans want to crank out the same trick with the inspections that they did with Saddam Hussein, who allowed these American crooks to roam around the country sniffing out what and where is located under a plausible pretext.
    To do this, they came up with shnyaga about allegedly unknown 16 missile bases

        I read that there their military leadership was taken away for fraud .. And then they stopped the war because of the great losses of the Air Force, etc. The West is terribly afraid of losses, they would bomb and rob with impunity. Here is all their foreign policy, has been and will be! So far, only Russia can resist them, despite the persecution, etc.
        That's how the men live! We will not die alive ..

      Eun said that: "He has known about these bases for a long time, nothing special is happening there, this is fake news, and in general all these 999 bases so that the Russians do not destroy them with their missiles, at least before the end of Trump's presidential term" ...

    As I understand it in relation to the missile bases from Korea, the main American argument - Highly Likely - comes into force?

    It would be more correct for them to agree on a guarantee of the non-use of DPRK nuclear weapons without reason in exchange for a guarantee of the DPRK’s security by the United States.

    Do you think that it was different when there was a CPSU monopoly on information ???
    The vast majority believed in what they wrote in Pravda and Izvestia, although at home, in the kitchen, they could express some doubts. But doubts are not a reliable fact. "Alternative" information could only be obtained from Western publications (if they had access to them) or from the programs of "hostile voices". So there is nothing extraordinary here. Americans, like us (even then, even now), draw the bulk of information exclusively from the media or from social networks (it all depends on the age of the consumer) ...

    North Koreans that, at each base, they keep one rocket ??? laughing The location of these bases, in principle, has long been known for intelligence of neighboring countries, including ours. It is basically impossible to create mining and not leave traces on the surrounding landscape. especially if the territory is small and under the constant supervision of satellites of other countries ...
