Yes they have…they’ve stopped construction on nuclear facilities and halted missile tests during negotiations with both Clinton and Bush…while keeping all their other parts of their nuclear program running full bore and often clandestinely.
Then called the US bullies and accused them of reneging on THEIR agreements when the US would sanction them for their lip service.
Same thing’s happening now. No remains returned…a test site destoyed only because a mountain collapsed…engine tests stopped because they don’t need to test the engines anymore…while the other nuclear activities continue unabated and they accuse the US of making gangster-like demands while not beginning lifting of sanctions that they claim Trump promised.
It’s EXACTLY what they’ve done in the past, but you guys imagine that Trump is “tough” and so therefore everyone’s afraid of crossing him, so you imagine capitulation when it simply is not there.
They didn’t dispose of any of their facilities with the exception of the plutonium reactor when in fact they had already switched to uranium for their fissile material.
What’s been done so far has been verified by satellite photography.
Not according to our own intelligence people.
On August 14, the U.S. intelligence community denied Elleman’s finding that North Korea could not have produced on its own the liquid-propellant rocket engines used in recent ICBM tests.
“We have intelligence to suggest that North Korea is not reliant on imports of engines,” one U.S. intelligence official told Reuters. “Instead, we judge they have the ability to produce the engines themselves.”
Even if they somehow got the plans from outside the country they haven’t got the experience in producing them to do so with any consistency or the money to develop a serious large scale program without starving the country to death.
This is a surprise to whom exactly? Nobody expected them to scrap their entire program in six months.
you dont understand sarcasm huh?
I understand sarcasm just fine, you however don’t seem to understand plain English.
Let me repeat.
Read it slowly and think hard before replying.
One last time. Nobody thought they would be scrapping their entire program immediately.
Do you “get it” yet?
That’s what I expected, thanks for playing.
you didnt expect anything…Just your typical response when you dont get your way. now make some excuse…by stating no excuses here…
I got exactly what I expected from you. You’re as predictable as a busted clock.

This is ridiculously false. They’ve only had one successful test of a LR missile and it never traveled far enough to reach another continent.
They still have yet to produce a survivable reentry vehicle either. In order to do so would require many more successful extra atmospheric flights to prove the technology.
They can build a nuke but as yet have not shown the ability to deliver one outside of their own region.
lol, no. Their last missile test would have easily reached Washington D.C had it been fired at a normal trajectory instead of going so high to keep it close to Japan.
Estimated range on their current ICBM is 8,100 miles, enough to land anywhere in the US mainland.
US intel assesses that if the Norks don’t fire them into such a high trajectory, the RV will probably survive. High trajectory means a lot more stress.
It’s over, they won.

The missile never traveled far enough to reach another continent. There’s a hell of a lot more involved than just hitting a given altitude.
As for your last, no, that isn’t at all true. The friction is the same given the same angle of reentry.

Yes, there is. And the Norks demonstrated it. 8,100 miles, according to virtually every rocket scientist who looked at the launch.
The only quibble is over the re-entry vehicle and their current state of miniaturisation, and US intel already thinks they’ve cracked both.

lol.
McMaster is going nowhere. And neither is Sarah!
