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.

You are welcome on my lawn.
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.
If the government of NK falls, it results in a flood of refugees. Most would want to go south, some would go north. China would have to deal with them. China's interest in NK lies in stability.
If you can't get a lift vehicle off the ground without problems what good are those bombs?
