North Korea Restarts Plutonium Production For Nuclear Bombs (arstechnica.com)
New submitter ReginaldBryan45 quotes a report from Reuters: North Korea has restarted production of plutonium fuel, a senior State Department official said on Tuesday, showing that it plans to pursue its nuclear weapons program in defiance of international sanctions. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAE) said on Monday that it had seen signs based on satellite imagery that show that the secretive country had re-activated the nuclear fuel production reactor at Yongbyon. The analysis by the IAEA pointed to "resumption of the activities of the five megawatt reactor, the expansion of centrifuge-related facility, [and] reprocessing -- these are some of the examples of the areas [of activity indicated at Yongbyon]." U.S. Intelligence tried to infect the Yongbyon site with a variant of the Stuxnet malware last year but ultimately failed. Experts at the U.S.-Korea Institute at John Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies in Washington predicted last year that the country's nuclear arsenal could grow to as many as 100 bombs within five years, from an estimated 10 to 16. Naturally, this news is a cause for concern as North Korea had four (failed) test launches in the last two months.
Like Iran, North Korea used centrifuges obtained from the Pakistani scientist, A.Q. Khan, who led his own country's nuclear weapons effort.
No body did anything about that then !
NK cyber team will hack the vote so trump does not win as he will crush NK.
and he will HELP THEM!
Park!
And when did they stop?
Seth Rogen and James Franco when you need them?

You are welcome on my lawn.
And of course Trump would negotiate with DPRK and he knows exactly how to actually solve the problem
"I would speak to him, I would have no problem speaking to him," Trump told Reuters, adding "at the same time I would put a lot of pressure on China because economically we have tremendous power over China." "China can solve that problem with one meeting or one phone call," Trump continued..
The endless effort to make nuclear bombs will be worth your sacrifices and many deaths.
The world will quake in fear.
Everything in history sets a precedent. As fun as destroying this country sounds, that should not be the defacto way of humanity. Someone needs to come up with a better solution because feature generations will use this as an example. Doing nothing is also not an option even though they are assuredly 98% hype. There's a real crime against humanity going on over there and no one really seems to be able to stop it..

They pretend not to notice his nukes and his concentration camps http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2565240/Voices-damned-These-horrifying-stories-concentration-camp-victims-reveal-chilling-clarity-week-North-Korea-likened-Nazi-Germany.html
in 1994 President Bill Clinton signed a deal with North Korea which he bragged would prevent North Korea from going nuclear. He promised his deal would "does not rely on trust. Compliance will be certified by the International Atomic Energy Agency."
North Korea cannot possibly go nuclear. This Clinton deal to prevent it was made by the same Democrat party hack turned expert international negotiator who negotiated Obama's deal to guarantee Iran will not go nuclear.
The next thing you know, the Democrats will tell us that preventing these two countries from going nuclear is what qualifies Hillary Clinton to move back into the White House bringing Bill back as her first lady. After all, she was first lady when the Korea deal was done, so she's an expert on that one and she was appointed Sec State in time to be actually involved in the second, so we can be certain she's "well qualified" to negotiate a lot more like these. Or not.
"NK cyber team will hack the vote so trump does not win as he will crush NK."
But if the cyber team is too successful it will elect Sanders, who will bomb NK in grounds that the plutonium reactors could be used to generate power.
1. The Democrat-founded KKK did NOT endorse Trump. Only the sort of stupid people who get their news from Comedy Central and SNL and therefore think Sarah Palin said she could see Russia from her house, also fall for the lie that the Klan endorsed Trump. (Also: Democrats are routinely endorsed by rapists and murderers and communists - no politician controls who endorses them, so be careful about such connections even if the Klan DOES endorse)
2. When a Democrat illegally hacked Sarah Palin's e-mail account and dumped it out for the whole world to see and the left-wing hacks at the New York Times encouraged everybody to help "crowd source" the effort to find dirt, they came up empty. In other words: what Sarah did when she thought nobody was looking (nearly the definition of "character") turned out to be legal and ethical. Hillary clinton, on the other hand, ran a secret server to keep even legitimate government oversight at bay, and then she wiped-out over 30K e-mails, claiming they were about yoga and her daughter's wedding, when the courts came looking for them. So much for "character".
3. Ted Nugent???? Really??? An aging rocker who used to be loved by the left until they discovered about a decade ago that he was not into drugs, was a gun guy and part-time sheriff who had a few rants which could be interepreted as "insensitive". Have you completely lost your mind, given the vile racist hate-filled rants of the people who've been supporters of Hillary and Bernie and Obama etc?????? Hang Ted Nugent around Trump's political neck if you like, as long as you also hang the black panthers and Rev Wright etc around Obama's and some of the far more nasty Hillary supporters around hers.
At least Trump is not supported, as Hillary and Obama have been, by George Soros who was an actual servant of Adolph Hitler in WWII... That's worse than any individual on planet Earth who you could possibly claim is supporting Trump!
The rules must be applied to all candidates evenly and consistently, or else you are just another partisan political hack.
It is both financially and socially/politically more beneficial to have NK there as another demonizable entity, along with Iran, Saudi Arabia, and many others. It is often overlooked how many other places have 'crimes against humanity' going on in them, including the ones closer to home (you deal with your own issues before sanctimoniously judging on others.) But distracting from issues at home is exactly what these places are used for. Propoganda showing how much worse you could have it if you lived elsewhere, even while your domestic government works overtime to subtly benefit from similiar, albeit more subdued tactics.
Yep that would pretty much destroy the US, your right problem solved by getting China, South Korea, Japan and every other country in the region to side against the US and watch it sink into a pit.
north korea is paranoid as fuck
It seems Trumps policy is to abandon the region and leave South Korea and Japan to worry about the problem. Sounds more like he is happy to let North Korea go on their merry way.
Keep in mind, Hillary isn't a diplomat. She had the Department of State tossed to her as a consolation prize to shut her idiot fans up. She has no negotiation skills, and waltzing into a meeting with the Norks with her usual "Qbey me, you fucking peasants!" attitude would be worse than doing fuck-all.

The only title of honor that a tyrant can grant is "Enemy of the State."
economically speaking China has far more power over the US than the US has over china. It would come down to who values their economy more. TRump unfortunately is very self centred and blinkered and still thinks of the US as a supreme economic power in the world and doesn't seem to understand that one of the Core pillars keeping the US economy alive is actually china.
What we know about the U.S. intelligence community is that they always get things utterly wrong. They have done so for easily 60 years, since they grossly overestimated the Soviet military threat in size, science, and capacity.
What we know about North Korea is that it loves to make bold boasts about having advanced technologies that turn out to either explode at the launchpad or to be photoshopped cardboard boxes.
Fear level: 3. I'm modestly worried that the U.S. will do something insanely stupid, again, after having been persuaded that someone, somewhere, might have a Weapon of Mass Destruction. (As I recall, the few that were eventually found in Iraq turned out to be long-defunct weapons that the U.S. had supplied.)
On the opposite, NK cybers will hack the vote so that Trump wins ; WW3 is the best exit scenario for NK.

If you can't get a lift vehicle off the ground without problems what good are those bombs?
If I was a North Korean citizen living anywhere around the potential launch sites, seeing how successful their launches are. Seems far more likely these bombs would turn into a local dirty bomb than actually manage to get to whatever target. I would say it's getting close to Stuxnet them, but it seems like NK is doing enough damage to themselves.
Obama has already done a pretty good job at that, much like Cameron did in the UK.
Om, nomnomnom...
Obama has created a messy house definitely done very little positive, but trump wants to come in and shit in the bed and then roll around in it. You are talking degrees of bad and Trump is someone that can make Obama look good which is just sad.
Then we nuke all of them. We nuke everyone. No countries left to get mad, problem solved.
It seems Trumps policy is to abandon the region and leave South Korea and Japan to worry about the problem. Sounds more like he is happy to let North Korea go on their merry way.
No, his policy seems to be more oriented around getting those parties to pick up more of the tab for using the US military as their muscle. Which seems very reasonable. Obviously we (in the US) have a strong vested interest in not having chaos erupt there (we do tons of trade with Japan and South Korea, as well as their many neighbors), so it's not like we'd just leave. But there's no reason that J&K can't shoulder more of the costs. Much like Europe ought to.
Don't disappoint your bird dog. Go to the range.
Bombing the crap out of North Korea's infrastructure should take about 6 planes with two bombs each.
Everything else is just barren wasteland.
When Fascism comes to America, it will call itself Anti-Fascism, and tell you to give up your guns.
This is terrible news! It means that North Korea might actually become a viable, independent state that we cannot contain with economic sanctions and foreign policy arm-twisting.
That means that we might have to (gasp!) actually talk to them and treat them as a legitimate government with the right to sovereignty over their own land.
Has anyone else noticed that our "non-proliferation" programs have done nothing but increased nuclear weapon proliferation?

Even Trump aside, that runs a risk of those same groups weighing the balance in a manner that does not favor the US, as the more they provide on their own, the less they need the US, and the less they need, the less they might want.
Or the more they might want from the US.
That too is reasonable.

You keep telling yourself that.
Om, nomnomnom...
breed the Plutonium need for atomic bombs. If Iran had really wanted nuclear weapons we couldn't have stopped them.
Were they truly failed launches? Or, were they able to get high enough, if launched from a freighter of the East/West/Gulf coasts to blanket the us with EMP bursts?
Sounds like North Korea will soon achieve a "believable defense" required for a non-allied country in a world filled with nuclear weapons. Congratulations! Now you can start building nationwide infrastructure for the benefit of the people, without the fear of being attacked.
And the US will continue to have weak foreign policy.
This is a provocative interesting article, that has little to do with information, technology, computers, AI, web design, graphics, processors, memory, social networking, computer security, network protocols, IP addresses, hacking, writing code, Linux, Windows, OSX....
As with every news article I see, I always ask myself:
1.) Why is this article here.
2.) Who wanted it here.

Wtf does that have to do with anything? Donald doesn't like a judge because she's Mexican , a lawyer doesn't like a judge because he's a man and doesn't have perspective on rape.
Wtf does this have anything to do with the discussion at hand? Give me one good thing please. You are grasping at straws here. Community of the wrongly accused. Give me a break.
You can't see the irony in that piece you linked? They want us to forgive Trump for what he said, but curse the other for what they said. Two wrongs don't make a right, we learned this at age 2-3.
So because another person said something equally as egregious as Trump did, that somehow makes trump wrongfully accused? Just a bunch of cock holding. That's all I read. And has nothing at all relating to the topic at hand.
can a tungsten-rod from orbit downing near the lab create a eartquake hard enought to disrupt the centrifuge facility and ruin their work for years?
see this is a risk noone in the US wants to take, because if they have to pay they might well build their own armies and not fund the american war machine, or supplant the reason it exists in its overarching incarnation
but trump wants to come in and shit in the bed and then roll around in it. You are talking degrees of bad and Trump is someone that can make Obama look good which is just sad.

What!? So you think a law professor that thinks a Judge that gave a slap on the wrist to a RAPIST , and should be put off the bench; is worse then the bigoted misogynistic statements Trump has made? Are you kidding me?!?!. I agree with her,. The judge let a RAPIST off the hook just because the attacker and he both went to Stamford. Talk about White privilege. That Judge should be pulled from the bench and disbarred and the kid should be going away for at least 6 years.
Well, we all know that power corrupts...

I see that as a net win, we have more money to spend domestically, and all these countries start footing their own bills.
It worked out so well for the Philippines, they are begging us to protect them from scary China.

Or does a 5MW nuclear reactor sound very very small. Like small enough that it is one of those experimental ones that produce medical isotopes. Also if it is so small, how is is producing enough "material" for 100+ bombs? Reactors are usually measured by the GW. This would be what, a 0.005 GW facility? Makes me a bit skeptical of the estimated claims.
Also with that last statement being that all their attempts of launching missiles end with blowing them up prematurely, it sounds like if even were they to build some warheads, they are likely more a danger to themselves than anyone else...
Whatever the case, this is probably just more posturing for more aid and less sanctions like they do every couple of years. I have a feeling that should they ever become a menace or real danger, they would suddenly find themselves in an overwhelming internal military coup and become a protectorate of China.
