    Not sure what that has to do with Russia working with North Korea and getting them started in the nuclear weapons?

    If Russia was working with North Korea, this is all on Obama who turned a blind eye for 8 years. His willful ignorance is on display here.

    yeah....long after Jimmy Carter....and Trump fucked that one up just when it had finally de-escalated...now they can do anything they want. Thanks to Trump they are no longer required to cap their nuke program. And while we're spinning political party crap....Reagan armed and funded Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden ...they were his allies at the time against Russians in Afghansistan and the Khomeini regime in Iran

    So in the 2 weeks that this N Korea documents was signed, North Korea enhanced its uranium cooling system, erected a new tower and then we were able to see this on Satellite and report on it.

    Damn, those asians are fucking efficient as fuck.

    It was Reagan that gave them short range missiles.

    Edit: And it's Trump that won't secure our intellectual property by securing the internet.

    Really? You're going to blame Obama? He wasn't even alive when NK and Russia began a nuclear program in NK. Nice try though.

    • 1956: The Soviet Union begins training North Korean scientists and engineers, giving them "basic knowledge" to initiate a nuclear program.[11]
    • 1958: The U.S. deploys nuclear armed Honest John missiles and 280 mm atomic cannons to South Korea.[12]
    • 1959: North Korea and the USSR sign a nuclear cooperation agreement.[11]
    • 1962: The Yongbyon Nuclear Scientific Research Center opens.[11]
    • 1965: The Yongbyon IRT-2000 research reactor reaches a power rating of 2 MW.[11]
    • 1974: The Yongbyon IRT-2000 research reactor reaches a power rating of 4 MW.[11]
    • Between the late 1970s and early 1980s North Korea begins uranium mining operations at various locations near Sunchon and Pyongsan.[11]

    Lots of mis-information.

    First, the Soviets "gave" North Korea "nuclear technology" as early as the 60's. Kim Il Sung was already deep into a nuclear program when they signed the NPF ... EDIT: In doing the research for this, someone's already compiled it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_North_Korean_nuclear_program

    But what people may be referring to is that, in return for shutting down their nuclear weapons program, Clinton/the US gave NK a whole bunch of oil (as an "alternative fuel" to "replace electricity production") and Light-Water Reactors (which are, theoretically, harder to make weapons from), so that they'd shut down their graphite ones. If they "just wanted the peaceful power."

    Link from the State Department files.
