    • Recent satellite imagery from 38North shows ongoing construction work at a major North Korean nuclear research center as well as no signs of dismantlement at a separate site used to to test rocket engines.
    • U.S. intelligence officials told NBC News that Pyongyang may have recently increased production of fuel for nuclear weapons at multiple secret sites.
    • Such reports undermine ruler Kim Jong Un's June 12 pledge of complete denuclearization.

    Well.... isn't that special... you mean Trump and Kim aren't best buds and "the drug dealer at the liquor store wasn’t a good guy?"

    I could go on with the snark for hours, but why bother... let's let our Idiot in Chief take over....

    For once, I'm not even going to call that tweet a lie.... it's simply the remarkable naivete of a child...

    Kim got his photo op for his people and is moving on.... I hope we will too....

    Aaaaaaand here we go.

    Who cares. Deal or not, not even people’s beliefs will change. Anything can be used as evidence to support what you want to support. So what’s the point.

    I say let NK and Iran use nukes. They aren’t the aggressors and starting reckless conflicts all over the world. It’s not worth war, so if diplomacy fails, let them be. We have no reason to do think they’d use them. No reason except the same policy makers telling us they’d kill 17 trillion people. You know, the same policy makers that have a track record of lying... constantly. But why not believe them, since it supports your beliefs.

    Who cares. It’s not worth war. If you want war with NK. Go fight them yourself.

    I’m not supporting Trump, I don’t think he’s capable of such monumental successes. It was simply posturing. So call out his failures, no war with NK. That is not a solution.

    Trump wants to avoid a war

    Just like everyone else not alligned with russia, china and north korea

    But if kim refuses to turn back from his nuclear program the chance of war goes up dramatically

    I'm not sure what most of that means... but I'll focus on your last 2 sentences...

    I don't want war with NK... nobody does (expect probably Bolton)... As you say, my primary goal here is to point out another Trump failure.. Posturing is NOT a presidential trait... I want honesty, not posturing... Him saying that hours after the meeting was just a ridiculous attempt to bolster his image and like most of those attempts, it failed....

    Many nations are making nuclear weapons such as Britain and France, do you consider them all threats because of that?

    Or only NK

    If North Korea has duped Trump will this disqualify Trump from a Pull-it-Sir Prize award?

    Why not when they are doing the same thing NK is doing?

    What's your basis for a threat then?

    If you consider NK a threat you need to consider our "allies" a threat also.

    Or is this just you playing politics against Trump?

    Poor baby Trump still wants his Nobel Prize. Maybe he can fake having one as he does everything else in his life.

    Are you freaking serious? Do I really need to post a recent history of nuclear threats from NK to the US?? Personally, I'd prefer a world without nukes, including US, but if they have to exist, I'd rather them be in the hands of England and France over NK... And I cannot believe I have to type that out to somebody...

    Here are a few easy ones though... can you show me something similar from England and France?? Ever??

    June 2016
    Kim Jong-un claims the country can now attack "Americans in the Pacific operation theatre," including the territory of Guam.

    July 2017
    North Korea tests an ICBM for the first time, saying it can launch a missile that can reach the continental United States.

    August 2017
    North Korea's army threatens to fire missiles toward Guam in an "enveloping fire." The message comes hours after President Donald Trump warns Pyongyang that it will be "met with fire and fury" if North Korea does not stop threatening the United States.

    They have stopped the threats.

    If that's what you are basing it on I'll say this....Do you remember Britain invading the US and trying to conquer us?

    I'd say that's a bigger threat wouldn't you?

    The fact is that neither our "allies" or NK are threatening us today so none of them are threats.

    Iran is still threatening us yet Obama made a deal with them and you lauded him for it.

    LMAO.... that's genuinely funny, although I'm sure you didn't mean it that way...

    I didn't laud Obama, as I wasn't on the site then, but what he did makes a helluva lot more sense that anything Trump has done related to NK.... and show me a recent Iranian Nuclear threat.....

    You mean ignoring the NK nuclear program by obama was better than confronting and sanctioning them by trump?

    No way Jose

    Trump declared a historic "Victory" when really he had just another sad defeat. With his ridiculous film that was a punchline World wide he looked like a total Clown doing it.

    With his bluster Trump created a crisis that he failed to resolve. He and his staff like a group of clowns at a circus, tried to put out a fake fire with prat falls and ended up dumping whitewash down their own pants to the amusement of a world audience.

    And now General Clown Pants fights his Trade War.

    The Allies didnt begin WWII with a string of victories

    But in time the good guys prevailed

    Trump is battling to stop the ship so he can turn it around

    Trump gave NK an opportunity to join the rest of the world in peace and prosperity.

    If they spurn our efforts, there's nothing left to do than attack.
