North Korea: New missiles can hit America

http://www.cnn.com/videos/world/2016/06/24/north-korea-missile-launch-kim-jong-un-we-can-hit-us-dnt-tsr.cnn

Note to Dweeb Republicans who continue to think Iran is a major threat to the United States:

North Korea has already conducted multiple nuclear tests.... North Korea claims to have already developed miniaturized nuclear warheads that can fit on missiles.... North Korea continues to develop and refine its missile technology, with the direct intention to be able to strike territory owned by the United States. Guam is in range. The Aleutian Islands are within range. Soon Hawaii, the rest of Alaska, and Washington State will be in range, then the rest of the west coast. If this doesn't set off alarm bells in your Dweeb Republican skulls, you are idiots.

Do not blame Barrack Obama for these developments. North Korea exploded its first nuclear warhead under George W. Bush's nose, while he had us bogged down in Iraq. The real enemies of the United States were smiling back then.

It started under clinton... and you already know this. I've posted the timeline several times now. What's your deal?

Yes, and you have been complaining about the Iran Deal since it was made, while ignoring North Korea's threat. What's your deal?

Quite the contrary... I've posted bill clinton's speech times. You know... the one that obama mimicked for the iran deal.

1991: The U.S. withdrew its last nuclear weapons from South Korea in December 1991,though U.S. affirmation of this action was not clear, resulting in rumors persisting that nuclear weapons remained in South Korea. [6] The U.S. had deployed nuclear weapons in South Korea since January 1958,peaking in number at about 950 warheads in 1967. [7]

1992: In May,for the first time,North Korea allows a team from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The Agency inspection finds inconsistencies with North Korea declarations. [8] Hans Blix,head of the IAEA,and the U.S. suspect that North Korea is secretly using its five-megawatt reactor and reprocessing facility at Yongbyon to turn spent fuel into weapons-grade plutonium. Before leaving,Blixarranges for fully equipped inspection teams to follow.

The inspections do not go well. Over the next several months,the North Koreans repeatedly block inspectors from visiting two of Yongbyon's suspected nuclear waste sites,and IAEA inspectors find evidence that the country is not revealing the full extent of its plutonium production.

1993: In March,North Korea threatens to withdraw from the NPT. Facing heavy domestic pressure from Republicans who oppose negotiations with North Korea,President Bill Clinton appoints Robert Gallucci to start a new round of negotiations. After 89 days,North Korea announces it has suspended its withdrawal. (The NPT requires three months notice before a country can withdraw.)

In December,IAEA Director-General Blixannounces that the agency can no longer provide "any meaningful assurances" that North Korea is not producing nuclear weapons.

12 October 1994: the United States and North Korea signed the "Agreed Framework": North Korea agreed to freeze its plutonium production program in exchange for fuel oil,economic cooperation,and the construction of two modern light-water nuclear power plants. Eventually, North Korea's existing nuclear facilities were to be dismantled,and the spent reactor fuel taken out of the country.

26 October 1994: IAEA Chairman Hans Blixtells the British House of Commons' Foreign Affairs Select Committee the IAEA is "not very happy" with the Agreed Framework because it gives North Korea too much time to begin complying with the inspections regime.

18 March 1996: Hans Blixtells the IAEA's Board of Governors North Korea has still not made its initial declaration of the amount of plutonium they possess,as required under the Agreed Framework,and warned that without the declaration IAEA would lose the ability to verify North Korea was not using its plutonium to develop weapons.

October 1997: spent nuclear fuel rods were encased in steel containers, IAEA inspection. [9]

31 August 1998: North Korea launched a Paektusan-1 space launch vehicle in a launch attempt of its Kwangmyŏngsŏng-1 satellite. U.S. military analysts suspect satellite launch is a ruse for the testing of an ICBM. [10] This missile flew over Japan causing the Japanese government to retract 1 billion in aid for two civilian light-water reactors. [11][12]

Btw... here's bill's speech where he assures the world that everyone is safer now and nk will comply with the deal.

It's scary how similar this is to obama's iran nuclear deal. Both in the language and in the effectiveness... count on it.

Bill Clinton, 1994

Good afternoon. I am pleased that the United States and North Korea yesterday reached agreement on the text of a framework document on North Korea's nuclear program. This agreement will help to achieve a longstanding and vital American objective: an end to the threat of nuclear proliferation on the Korean Peninsula.

This agreement is good for the United States, good for our allies, and good for the safety of the entire world. It reduces the danger of the threat of nuclear spreading in the region. It's a crucial step toward drawing North Korea into the global community.

I want to begin by thanking Secretary Christopher and our chief negotiator, Ambassador at Large Bob Gallucci, for seeing these negotiations through. I asked Bob if he'd had any sleep, since he's going to answer all your technical questions about this agreement, and he said that he had had some sleep. So be somewhat gentle with him. After meeting with my chief national security advisers, and at their unanimous recommendation, I am instructing Ambassador Gallucci to return to Geneva on Friday for the purpose of signing an agreement.

The United States has been concerned about the possibility that North Korea was developing nuclear weapons since the 1980's. Three administrations have tried to bring this nuclear program under international control. There is nothing more important to our security and to the world's stability than preventing the spread of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles. And the United States has an unshakeable commitment to protect our ally and our fellow democracy South Korea. Thirty-eight thousand American troops stationed on the Peninsula are the guarantors of that commitment.

Today, after 16 months of intense and difficult negotiations with North Korea, we have completed an agreement that will make the United States, the Korean Peninsula, and the world safer. Under the agreement, North Korea has agreed to freeze its existing nuclear program and to accept international inspection of all existing facilities.

This agreement represents the first step on the road to a nuclear-free Korean Peninsula. It does not rely on trust. Compliance will be certified by the International Atomic Energy Agency. The United States and North Korea have also agreed to ease trade restrictions and to move toward establishing liaison offices in each other's capitals. These offices will ease North Korea's isolation.

From the start of the negotiations, we have consulted closely with South Korea, with Japan, and with other interested parties. We will continue to work closely with our allies and with the Congress as our relationship with North Korea develops.

Throughout this administration, the fight against the spread of nuclear weapons has been among our most important international priorities, and we've made great progress toward removing nuclear weapons from Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and from Belarus. Nuclear weapons in Russia are no longer targeted on our citizens. Today all Americans should know that as a result of this achievement on Korea, our Nation will be safer and the future of our people more secure.

Well let's hope the North Koreans do the world a favor and fire them at us.
