i was surprised that no one commented yet on the North Korean "offer" to stop nuclear tests.
Perhaps all of you know this? It's almost a certainty that the WLB doesn't.

This is the equivalent to giving the Orange Turd a big piece of chocolate cake to distract him.

Quote:Surprisingly, there seems to be little attention to this developing story here on the Great Orange, only one diary scrolling away down the page as I write, but OMG!! North Korea has unilaterally offered to suspend its nuclear program; announcing a moratorium on testing of nuclear warheads and delivery systems, and even offering to demolish the only test site.
This is objectively good news. But it’s not like North Korea has a choice. They don’t have a test site to demolish; it’s already gone.
Something so far entirely missing from the reporting on this is an occurrence, widely reported at the time, at the Punggye-ri nuclear test site immediately after the last underground warhead test. This test was conducted on September 3, 2017, and was of the largest yield yet tested by the Kim regime. It registered a 6.3 tremor and caused small landslides on the surface. Underground, the effects were far more severe. The detonation collapsed a major tunnel in the facility, killing about a hundred workers. About a hundred more were killed in a secondary collapse during a rescue attempt. There have been no tests since this accident. Thinking about it logically, that makes quite a bit of sense. A collapse big enough to kill that many people (some of which were almost certainly scientists and technicians critical to the work being done) would cripple any underground facility. The second collapse only underscores the untenable nature of any attempt to repair this bunker. It’s a goner.
