N.K. claims U.S. seized its diplomatic package, demands explanation

SEOUL, June 18 (Yonhap) -- North Korea claimed on Sunday that the United States recently mugged its delegation carrying a diplomatic package in New York, calling on Washington to provide an explanation on what it calls a provocation.

According to the (North) Korean Central News Agency, which quoted its foreign ministry, a group of government officials and police officers from the U.S. took a diplomatic package from its delegation on Friday at John F. Kennedy International Airport before it was about to board a flight home.

The delegation was in New York to attend the Conference of States Parties to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, it added.

"As the diplomats vigorously resisted, they grabbed the diplomatic package using physical violence and made off," the ministry was quoted as saying. It called the incident a "planned and organized provocation."

The ministry also asked the world to "seriously reconsider" New York as a venue for major international events and demanded Washington provide an explanation for infringing upon its sovereignty.

"If the U.S. fails to give its due response to our demand which is all too reasonable and fair enough, it will be totally responsible for all the consequences to be entailed," the ministry said.

We should nuke these mofos for what they did to Otto Warmbier, that ticks me off like you cannot imagine, one of the most outrageous things I ever seen a foreign country do to a US citizen. That kid did nothing wrong, he didn’t steal that poster, it was completely fabricated, the video never shows Warmbiers face, it was a hoax video. They KIDNAPPED him and purposely stopped his heart to damage his brain so he couldn’t tell anybody what he’d seen or what was done to him, and knowing how sick and sadistic those pukes are they probably told him what they were going to do to him beforehand. An naive kid who was conned into going there by these sc*mbags in China. The state department has to issue that warning in a more public manner rather than just posting it on freakin’ website. All the money wasted on garbage programs, why don’t they take the initiative and make school kids aware of this?

And I have no doubt the bowing faggot we had as POTUS made the Norks more bold which is why they did this. An entire year nothing was done and only 5 months in office Trump gets him out.

North Korea has bombed airliners before as an assassination method. They have active nazi death camps in operation TODAY. They have no right to benefit of the doubt. They are holding kidnap victims. They have no diplomatic relations with America and no embassy here.

They are not diplomats legally

I am totally sickened and agree. had worried all along about how this young man was braving the brutality of a NK hard labor camp, but the reality is so much worse. Wars have started for less.

It was probably a bucket of KFC chicken wings for the only fast bastard in the country. Read somewhere he is obsessed with chicken wings. The rest of those poor people in NK eat tree bark and grass.

There are no nuclear secrets. Everything one might want to know has been available since the 1980’s or earlier. That line of thought is so 1950’s. I really wish people would learn more about the subject and do their own research.

The Klystron is not a secret. It’s design is available everywhere. The neutron source for the grid is hard for non-nuclear countries to maintain in large quantities. I’ve always thought it pretty cool that we still (maybe) use vacuum tubes to ignite the low explosives in thermonuclear warheads. Kind of like how tube amps are preferred for good amplification and effects.

Used to be a secret until B Clinton gave it to the Chinese as a good will gesture in the 90s for more ‘campaign cash’. The point is without one small thermonukes are not possible - as far as I know.

It goes way back to the Los Alamos days when they were working on the exploding bridge wire igniters for plutonium compression. They had no idea how to compress the pit in milliseconds and needed a fusing system that would work with the low and high explosive lenses. The Klystron did the work of switching kilovolts and kiloamps of electricity in milliseconds to make sure the lenses would explode at the right time. Any delay between one hemisphere and the other would perturb the pit to a point it wouldn’t go supercritical and disassemble within the 2 or so millisecond window needed to prevent a fizzle.
