Yes it is :yep: If memory serves me right Iran offered nuclear power advancement to all of it's Arab neighbors a couple of years ago.

Then I found this is why NK has nuclear weapons:https://www.quora.com/Why-did-Pakist...to-North-Korea

Why did Pakistan sell nuclear technology to North Korea?

.

Has anyone noticed NK subs putting to sea? Or Mother Ships deploying.

Just a question. I kind of doubt it, but it is indicative of intent...of something.

If they are considered a potential threat, I doubt their chances of survival would be very high.

It shows intent to do something, whether good odds or not, it does show intent.

Intend to do what?

That is the issue - for example they could sortie if they forsee the american first strike and feel the need to take the measures they can to defend themselves.

Depending on KJU's overall mission. Increased infiltrations, final destructive equipment/supplies. Just beefing up the unconventional warfare capability, maybe chem/bio materials.

What are the missions of infiltrators from the north. Determine the mission, determine the people/materials needed, that will determine the indicators to look for.

A sudden rise in reporting of specific activities are...indicators to be looked for.

...just musing...

Another question; would NK conduct any offensive mission in SK right now?

From CNN--

US officials also noted that a North Korean Sang-O submarine was operating in the Yellow Sea and the length of its deployment was notable. Two Romeo submarines were detected in the waters off Japan -- each one operating in the area for about a week.

Hmmm

Meanwhile.....

Soooo, a 'charm offensive' or buying time?

Both. The charm is buying time. There is an opinion that NK will have relational flexibility with the South's liberal government next year-ish when they can negotiate in a position of superior strength.

They will get a lot out of the South and KJU/North Korean peoples will enjoy the fruits of their victory over the South.

NK will isolate the Americans from influence on the peninsula. It is already started.

(KJU gets another score.) ...and the Chinese cheer.

Another bold move to reassure NK the USA does not like their nukes ... :yep:

I hope they won't be needed ... better off 8,800 miles closer to the real threat of war anyway.

I do really hope this NK cheer squad thing doesn't give Trump any ideas...








<O>

He might want to grab them by the yaki mandu

It would help if President Trump would tell us what he knows about the friends of NK ... share that information with the public so we can be on the same page with our President instead of worried about starting WWIII :o
