Previously, we heard grumblings that North Korea was actively expanding its nuclear sites. However, the details surrounding the report were kind of sketchy.
But now, there’s this. Researchers say that North Korea has ANOTHER secret ballistic missile base, making at least 20 undeclared bases total.
The Kim regime has never disclosed the existence of the Sino-ri Missile Operating Base to the outside world. Ballistic missiles are the primary delivery mechanism for North Korean nuclear warheads.
The report from Beyond Parallel, a project sponsored by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), a defense think tank, was released Monday and comes after an announcement Friday that President Donald Trump “looks forward” to meeting with Chairman Kim Jong Un next month “at a place to be announced at a later date.”
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
I don’t think this should come as a shock, but it’ll make President Trump’s scheduled meeting with Kim Jong-un– which is supposed to take place next month– that much more interesting.
PS– Trump tweeted this yesterday:
The Media is not giving us credit for the tremendous progress we have made with North Korea. Think of where we were at the end of the Obama Administration compared to now. Great meeting this week with top Reps. Looking forward to meeting with Chairman Kim at end of February!
