Google is your friend.

I await a claim.

Google is still your friend.

Horrible argument.

This chronology of the North Korean nuclear program has its roots in the 1950s and begins in earnest in 1989 with the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union, the main economic ally of North Korea. The Chronology mainly addresses the conflict between the United States and North Korea, while including the influences of the other members of the six-party talks: China, Russia, South Korea, and Japan.
The North Korean nuclear program can roughly be divided into four phases. Phase I (1956–80) dealt primarily with training and gaining basic knowledge. Phase II (1980–94) covers the growth and eventual suspension of North Korea's domestic plutonium production program. Phase III (1994–2002) covers the period of the "freeze" on North Korea's plutonium program (though North Korea pursued uranium enrichment in secret) and Phase IV (2002–present) covers the current period of renewed nuclear activities.

So which Phase and under which administration would you like to offer up the pearls of wisdom?

Trump must not know the consequences of war or maybe he doesn't care.

Like the consequence of it being a very, very long time before another medget asshat like Kim rises up and flaps their gums at the world because they realize bad things happen to those who do so? Yeah, not seeing a negative to that consequence.

President Trump just reiterated his resolve at impromptu question and answer session.

Phase 3, where they negotiated with a fool for a President and obtained ability to make bomb grade fissionable material at will.

That they lied was to be expected and the damn fool was warned then.

I remember the issue quite well.

Your link is amusing as I could be accused of phase 1 just studying matters.

a reply to: Phoenix

Ok

a reply to: alphabetaone

In short, as usual ... "Thanks Obama."

You can't reorient the devotedly two-dimensional; good for you for trying though.

Apparently Kim issued emergency stand-by orders and had them delivered by military helicopters. For some reason I can't get the YouTube link to work, so here's the entire url:

Oh so he wasn't at his golf resort then? Safe and sound?

Yeah mush for brains. Go ahead insult yet another member.

As another member posted, he is there because the White House heating & cooling system is being worked on.
As much as you complain about Trump, shouldn't you be aware of every move he makes and the reasons behind them?
That was pretty mild as far as insults go, but then you Leftists are easily triggered.

The Korean war stalled in armistice on July 27th, 1953. It was signed by the United Nations Command, the KPA (Korean People's Army) of North Korea and the Chinese PVA (People's Volunteer Army). The USA was never at war with Korea.

That's good news! It means that Kim Jong thinks President Trump is "Crazy Like a Fox". Takes one to know one.

BASED ON THESE WORDS..

Trump’s “firm break with 20-plus years of failed American policy on North Korea represents the one chance we might have to forestall a massive conflict on the Korean peninsula,” said Jaffer in an email. He added that China and North Korea understand that Trump “is actually prepared to use military force -- credibility that prior administrations simply lacked.”

Why is it that North Korea felt that Clinton/Bush/Obama would NOT use military force? Each of those Presidents ordered the use of military force somewhere in the world. Why is President Trump (supposedly) taken more seriously?

a reply to: carewemust

You're reading into it what you want to read given your deity. He is viewed as more unstable, which gives them pause to wonder whether or not he will flippantly use force.

I am expecting movement from Trump on the economic front with China tomorrow. Which I've stated earlier are key to resolve situation without massive loss of life or severe economic developments war would entail. I think best chances lie here as Chinese will act in their own best interests rather than NK's.



This is interesting and informative reading and points to lots of funding to not only run nuclear weapons program but also engineer/ build/purchase all the necessary infrastructure right down to more mundane things like transporters.

North Koreas ACTUAL capabilities

Yes at end article there's push to sell prep items, ignore that and it's quite the "one stop shop" for information about NK WMD capabilities.

Where is NK getting the money?

Fortune cookie for Kim Jong Un -

"You mess with the bull, you get the horns."

Not if your Russia. Then the presidential thanks you.

Can there be a thread involving Trump without the mention of Russia? You can't control yourself can you?, despite what the OP is about!
