N. Korea no longer a nuclear threat
- Thread starter Cuddles

There is no evidence of Russian collusion. The left keep saying that there is a collusion.
North Korea is a big country and they have many prisoners. You think Kim has time to listen to what the prison wardens and his generals do to their prisoners? He might as well enjoy his life than knowing what's going on in his prisons.
When the non-left claims something without evidence, although reasonable, the left would scream "conspiracy". Funnily the same rule doesn't apply to them.
Why am I not surprised? Like at all.
Classic witch-hunt.
Bogus, fake charges to launch the investigation, then no convictions on those charges.
... yet.
Apparently all it takes is a big beautiful letter.

North Korea Waged Cyber Attacks on US In Midst of Trump/Kim Meeting
One would also assume that North Korean would have shied away from state-sponsored cybercrime against the United States during the summit in Hanoi, Vietnam this last week with President Trump. That, however, appears to be a poor assumption.
A new report by the New York Times indicates that hackers linked to North Korea waged cyberattacks on the United States and others on the same day that Trump and Kim met to discuss denuclearization.
While North Korea has shied away from nuclear tests in the 15 months since Trump and Kim began negotiating, hackers within the Lazarus group continued to target multiple major industries in the US, including the telecommunications and energy industries.
The specific operation, according to McAfee, who discovered the covert actions, is called Operation Sharpshooter. The operation began as early as September 2017 and has continued since.

The Day Denuclearization Died
The first Trump-Kim summit was about North Korea committing to giving up nuclear weapons. The second was about defining what that meant. This time, nuclear weapons didn't even come up.
There were many remarkable aspects of the U.S. president’s surprise meeting with the North Korean leader at the border, but perhaps the most notable was the absence of the issue that brought Trump and Kim together in the first place one year ago: Pyongyang’s development of a nuclear-weapons arsenal that directly threatens the United States and its allies, and which Trump’s advisers once vowed to remove by 2021.
From the moment Trump greeted Kim with an extended hand (“My friend! … It’s my honor.”), to their first comments to reporters, to their remarks to the media while meeting one-on-one, the president never publicly mentioned North Korea’s nuclear program, and Kim didn’t bring it up either. Trump raised the subject twice during an earlier news conference with South Korean President Moon Jae-in, but in both cases it was to briefly note that Kim hasn’t tested nuclear weapons while engaged in talks with the United States. (It fell to Moon to note that he and Trump still agreed on the ultimate objective of denuclearization.)

Yeah, screw diplomacy and building a relationship. That will not get anyone anywhere. The US should just start a war with NK or just nuke their ass.
