WILL NORTH KOREA GIVE UP NUCLEAR WEAPONS? THESE PHOTOS SUGGEST KIM JONG UN MAY BE SERIOUS
NEWSWEEK ^ | 3/23/2018 | TOM O'CONNOR

North Korea has suspended activity at its main nuclear site, according to recent satellite imagery and expert analysis that appeared to support Pyongyang's offers to solve the crisis on the Korean Peninsula diplomatically.

President Donald Trump's decision to accept an unprecedented invitation to meet North Korean supreme leader Kim Jong Un came after South Korean officials assured the Republican leader that Kim was willing to denuclearize in exchange for peace. As suspicions arose as to what North Korea's true intentions were, leading analysts Frank V. Pabian, Joseph S. Bermudez Jr. and Jack Liu found a major slowdown at the Punggye-ri nuclear test site in a report posted Friday to 38 North, a project of the U.S.-Korea Institute at the Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies.

"Imagery from early March had shown signs of continued tunneling excavations at the West Portal, including mining carts and significant amounts of new spoil deposits. Large groups of personnel were also noted in the open support areas serving the nuclear test site’s Command Center. However, imagery from March 17 showed no evidence of tunneling operations or the presence of any personnel or vehicles at any of the support areas including those near the Command Center," the report read.

I’ll believe when OUR trusted inspectors (not UN) verify it.

I think Kim KNOWS that Trump sees whether he is working on his missile program.
 
He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake!
You better watch out, you better not lie
You better not launch, I'm telling you why
Donald Trump is watching, you clown
 
 
LoL!!

Kim is evil and nothing he does going forward will change that history.

It could be that Trump has them by the balls. If it is true that we blew up their underground works plus killed hundreds of their scientists...

However, I always figured NK was acting with full cooperation or at the behest of China, so it is a bit confusing. We for sure don’t have China by the balls yet.

Maybe. But how do you think it will go for them if they are jerking the world around, this time? Why would they have already compromised the deity of their Dear Leader by releasing an official photo showing him standing in a demonstration of equal status with standing South Koreans, instead of sitting while others stand in the traditional manner of demonstrating superior status? They can't take that photo back.

Maybe fixing these long-standing, seemingly intractable problems isn't so difficult after all, provided one fundamental change is made. That would be simply for the American participants to not be diabolical psychopaths who exploit every calamity or human failing for maximum profit and/or enhancement of personal status.

Actually making an honest effort to succeed seems to yield much better results, who would have guessed? Gee, do ya think maybe most of these persistent problems which government has grown to gargantuan size to address, might not be such big problems if not for government malfeasance in the first place?

Communists never give up.

Neither do Dems and RINOs - too bad so many Republicans can't say that....

His entrée into the Olympics in Seoul was also a move to endear himself and his people to the outside world.

He should have embraced "Howard" with open arms, then.

Your "Howard" comment without any explanation of who Howard is, fell flat.

Please enlighten.
