Report: Satellite Imagery Suggests North Korea Is Expanding Its Nuclear Sites

I can’t say I’m surprised by any of this TBH.

According to that sourcelink, North Korea is expanding one of its nuclear sites.

North Korea is carrying on with its ballistic missile program at 16 secret facilities, new satellite images have revealed, undermining President Donald Trump’s boasts that he persuaded the hermit kingdom to abandon its weapons production and work toward denuclearization. The images, reported by The New York Times, show North Korea is continuing to make improvements at more than a dozen launching sites. The development suggests North Korea’s promise to shut down one major test site was an attempted deception.

North Korea is expanding ballistic missile program at 16 hidden bases, shown in new commercial satellite images.

This comes after Trump said North Korea is "no longer a nuclear threat."

The con artist got conned.

North Korea never said it would stop its ballistic missile program. Only that it would put a moratorium on testing. The only commitment Kim Jong-un has signed remains the open-to-interpretation pledge to "denuclearise the Korean peninsula".

But also…

The NYT “deception” narrative on the North Korea missile base report is being completely mocked by the military analyst community

The underlying report says nothing about missile launches or testing, it merely notes the base still maintains an active troop presence. This whole narrative is weird.

And I say that as a fmr North Korea military analyst https://t.co/NKRoz01gE2

I’m really curious to see what Trump’s reaction will be. Will he hit back hard? Are we going back to “Little Rocket Man” days?

A lot of this seems kinda fuzzy.

Guess we’ll find out soon enough.
