Satellite images from last week show that North Korea is making numerous improvements to the infrastructure at a nuclear research facility, according to a new study.
The images, obtained by North Korea analysis outlet 38 North, come just weeks after President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un signed an agreement that called for a denuclearized Korean peninsula.
The satellite photos indicate that North Korea is quickly progressing on several adjustments to the Yongbyon Nuclear Scientific Research Center.
The improvements include a new cooling water pump house, multiple new buildings, completed construction on a cooling water reservoir and an apparently active Radiochemical Laboratory. It is unclear whether the reactor is still in operation, the report said.
38 North notes that North Korean nuclear officials are expected to proceed with “business as usual” until Kim orders official changes to procedure.
The agreement between Trump and Kim, signed at the historic summit in Singapore earlier this month, commits the U.S. to “security guarantees” in exchange for a denuclearized Korean peninsula. Critics said that the deal was unspecific and gave too much to North Korea without securing anything for the U.S. in return.
Ahead of the meeting between the two leaders, North Korea claimed to have destroyed its Punggye-ri nuclear testing site.
Fake News. The Great Orange One has gotten rid of any threat from NK.
I think he was more interested in neutralizing the threat from US neocons.
Yeah that’s why he filled his cabinet with neo-CONs

Goddamned Germans. I hope the moosies burn down Berlin.
Probably an old picture from Google maps. John
Being shown a picture and being ‘told’ what it is, is one of the most effective methods of mind control that exists.
The truth is these pictures could be anything. Any one of us could easily relabel them as something else.
I am reminded of General Schwarzkopf in one of his live news conferences during the first illegal war in Iraq showing us infrared (meaning fuzzy) photographs of what he described as portable Iraqi missile launchers. He went into great detail about how Saddam Hussein was moving them around to avoid detection, but the US military was too smart for them.
He even showed films (moving pictures are the most effective mind control of all) of laser-guided missiles and bombs being used to destroy them.
It was a few years later that it was disclosed that the good general was flat out lying. What he had described as missile launchers were actually milk trucks parked alongside the highway.
These were the same milk trucks that ALWAYS parked in that same place along the highway in the early morning hours before continuing on to their delivery points. They had been making the same delivery route and stop for years. And Schwarzkopf damned well knew it!
So who knows what these pictures described as North Koreas nuclear facilities really are?
When you are negotiating with the USA, it is best to keep your options open, even if you have a deal.
