Think tank 38 North reports in a new statement that satellite images out of North Korea show that the nation has begun dismantling parts of the Sohae Satellite Launching Station, a site used in the testing of ballistic missiles.
They cited images of a building used to assemble space-launch vehicles being dismantled, and a test stand used for the development of liquid-fuel engines. Though the site was meant to put satellites into orbit, US officials claimed satellite launches effectively missile tests.
The dismantling at the site comes after Kim Jong-un promised to halt all missile testing, and is a significant confidence-building measure. North Korea has been dismantling a number of sites around the country related to their nuclear program.
North Korea’s increasingly successful diplomacy with the US and other nations is likely encouraging such measures. As North Korea disarms, in keeping with such deals, there are growing calls for sanctions relief, though the US is so far resistant.
I’m sure the Trump haters are busy working on a new spin job to put this in a negative light.
That’s the world we live in. It’s not as if this is a new phenomena or something. No matter who holds the oval office over the last few decades is either the second coming of Christ or Satan.
Scorched earth politics have been in effect since the early 90’s in order to cover up the slow motion corporate coup.
This is why everyone should evaluate every policy individually, call out the bs and give credit where it’s due no matter what or who.
Part of the delusion is conflating the “who” with the “what”.
Let’s hope we see US military presence withdrawn next. That is the bar that needs to be cleared in order for this to be considered a complete success.
? …and what, the US just walks away from its SE Asian bridgehead that it has maintained for decades? Snowballs dancing in hell.
