Chinese geologists believe that North Korea’s subterranean testing ground for atomic bombs has collapsed.
A study by Chinese geologists shows the mountain above North Korea’s main nuclear test site has collapsed under the stress of the explosions, rendering it unsafe for further testing and necessitating monitoring for any leaking radiation.
The findings by the scientists at the University of Science and Technology of China may shed new light on North Korean President Kim Jong Un’s announcement that his country was ceasing its testing program.
New light, indeed. I can more easily believe that North Korea has stopped testing atomic bombs because they’ve nowhere to conduct a test than believe that the Buffon-in-Chief’s bellicosity has changed their minds.
And, is it needful to add that Kim Jong-un is certainly smart enough to figure-out that Trump’s attitude toward the Iran deal points toward the conclusion that America doesn’t make deals in good faith?
So: What is going on here is probably no more than North Korea is carrying-out an amiable P.R. stall while frantically trying to revive their testing program.
