North Korea continuing nuclear programme - UN report

North Korea has not stopped its nuclear and missile programmes, violating UN sanctions, a report commissioned by the UN Security Council says. It also says Pyongyang has resorted to a "massive increase" of illegal ship-to-ship transfers of oil products and has been trying to sell weapons abroad.

The confidential report by a panel of independent experts was submitted to the UN Security Council on Friday. North Korea has so far not commented on the document's findings.

Last week, US officials said Pyongyang appeared to be building new ballistic missiles despite recent warming ties with US President Donald Trump's administration and pledges to denuclearise. Unnamed US officials told the Washington Post that spy satellites had spotted continuing activity at a site that has produced ballistic missiles.

    I know Trump supporters claiming that Trump took all the nukes away from NK. I can't fathom how they can hold that opinion aside from a combination of they want it to be true and they absolutely didn't ever bother to look up a single thing about it at all.

    Having a problem with reality is kind of their thing though.

        Ran into them while camping; they also believed that Bitcoin was unhackable.

        I didn't try to explain.

          So you "know" someone if you run into them while camping?

            In his defense, he probably made eye contact and talked/listened to them. You can learn a lot about people through this process.
