So nothing has changed--the Hermit Kingdom of the smiling corpulent dictator has tried to pull a fast one, as they are historically wont to do.
The Daily Beast reported that "The development suggests North Korea's promise to shut down one major test site was an attempted deception." [No kidding. I said the same thing about Hamas and their make-believe cease fire.]
"North Korea's decommissioning of the Sohae satellite launch facility, while gaining much media attention, obscures the military threat to U.S. forces and South Korea from this and other undeclared ballistic missile bases," the Center for Strategic and International Studies stated.
It's believed this satellite discovery relates to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo pulling out of a high-level negotiation with North Korea's Kim Yong Chol last week.
But this is how North Korea rolls. They say they're going to disarm to stall for time while working on their nuclear program. Kim has lied to the three presidents that preceded Trump and now he lied again. They have no plans at all to disarm.
Now that Trump met with Kim at their summit, North Korean have a bigger stake in developing their nuclear and missile capabilities because that's all that stands between them and the Western allies and a possible coup. Trump's summit and his schmoozing legitimized the Kim regime, a horrible, tyrannical dictatorship, and gave him a seat at the grownup table.
I know Trump likes to negotiate like buddies over a beer, [although he doesn't drink] but he should have never labeled him a moderate, and praise him as a reformer. It has come back around.
I believe it was a mistake . . . unless he has some grand plan that he's keeping under wraps. But I don't think he does.
