North Korea is carrying out improvements at its nuclear testing facility, new research has discovered.

The work at the facility comes despite a pledge by the country to completely denuclearise following the summit between Kim Jong-un and Donald Trump.

New satellite images of the Yongbyon Nuclear Scientific Research Centre show that upgrades are being carried out ‘at a rapid pace’, according to North Korea analysis organisation 38 North.................
Then the sanctions won't be lifted. North Korea will continue the isolation they have enjoyed since Nikki Haley convinced China and Russia to vote in favor of them.
It's actually all pretty simple.

Assume Trump got played... please explain what was lost by the U.S.? I'm not worried about Trump looking foolish. Give me tangible things...
You conceded to China the continued level of naval presence in their front yard. One of the issues China had with the U.S. while attempting to expand it's military reach throughout the area by building an island and flying long range nuke bombers onto it.

In this age of "faux diplomacy", that has far more relevance than a Dumpling of a thug rattling his silly missiles. China has nukes in the thousands and the growing military might to enable their use beyond just a first strike scenario. China desperately desires to further it's reach in all areas of influence without having to consider upsetting a delicate balance. Now they've been given more breathing room to continue.

Trump was played alright, but not by Kim who merely played a role assigned to him by his masters.

I thought Trump said NK was no longer a nuclear threat. That we could all sleep soundly.

the war games were not stopped forever, they can be restarted if kim continues to ignore any agreements made. also note that trump has said that the sanctions STAY in place until such time as kim has reversed course and given up his nuclear ambitions.

This is what I have: Dated 6/23/18

Quote:
The Pentagon has indefinitely suspended US-South Korea military exercises to support diplomacy with North Korea. President Trump also called North Korea an "extraordinary threat."

Quote:
The Pentagon said Defense Secretary James Mattis "indefinitely suspended select exercises" in order to support diplomatic talks following the US-North Korea summit in Singapore

In other words, that summit in Singapore ended up being nothing more than a propaganda stunt for Kim Jong Un. How humiliating for the US!

Trump says that war games exercises are a waste of money. If Obama had said that the right would say he was dismantling our military and making us weak. And you on the right know that is true.
