from Sept 7, 2018 NHK report

Reporter: [released North Korean spy] told NHK he planned to return to North Korea as soon as possible.

Reporter: The North's missile technology has undergone rapid development in recent years. There are allegations it's acquiring its know how from abroad.

Reporter: Last year, a US expert published a report claiming Pyongyang acquired technology made at a Ukrainian factory on the black market.  Ukraine's government has denied supplying any materials [what about blueprints?]

Reporter: The release of the spies comes amid a stalemate in denuclearization talks between the United States and North Korea.  US media report suggests one of the hold ups is believed to be over Washington's demand for Pyongyang to allow its nuclear and missile engineers to leave the country.


Ukraine is denying they are the source of NK missile tech. From Walsh, Nick Paton. “The North Korean Spies Caught Stealing Plans.” CNN, Cable News Network, 1 Sept. 2017, edition.cnn.com/2017/08/24/europe/ukraine-north-korea-spies/index.html.

The images are a little grainy, but in the half-light of a dusty Ukrainian garage, you can sense the unbridled enthusiasm of the two North Korean spies who are photographing what they think are top-secret missile designs.
In a rare window into the opaque, deadly and secretive world of missile technology espionage, Ukrainian security services have given CNN surveillance footage and details of an elaborate sting operation they carried out to snare two North Korean spies in 2011.
The revelations are aimed at dispelling claims that a recent leap forward in Pyongyang's intercontinental missile technology may have been achieved by using designs stolen or originating from Ukraine.

However, maybe the Ukrainians protest too much, from Shuster, Simon. “Did Ukrainian Scientists Arm North Korea's Nuclear Power?” Time, Time, 1 Feb. 2018, time.com/5128398/the-missile-factory/.

Viktor Moisa, a retired rocket scientist, welcomed the North Koreans to his institute in eastern Ukraine just as he would with any other guests. He took them upstairs to the showroom of Soviet satellites and rocket engines, the pride of the institute’s collection. Then they went out to the yard, where an array of parts for ballistic missiles were on display. This was in the early 2000s, well before North Korea would test its first nuclear bomb in 2006. So the visitors’ interest in missile technology did not arouse Moisa’s suspicion. “They came as tourists,” he told TIME on a breezy afternoon last fall. “At least that’s how they presented themselves.”
We were standing in the same yard he had shown to the North Koreans, a paved lot in the city of Dnipro where old missile components are still on show, many of them made at a nearby rocket factory known as Yuzhmash. Guidance systems, fuel pumps and the massive cones designed to hold nuclear warheads at the tip of a rocket all stood in the autumn sun like leftovers from a military rummage sale. Moisa, a cheerful 79-year-old with a puff of silver hair, says he understands in retrospect that his guests from North Korea were probably spies. “It’s just a guess,” he told me with a smile. “But they were probably dreaming of being a real missile power.”
That dream has since been achieved. Over the past eight months, North Korea has test-launched three rockets capable of striking the U.S. mainland. According to missile experts in the U.S. and Europe, the key components of these rockets are based on Soviet designs, much like those displayed in Moisa’s museum. The latest North Korean breakthrough, the Hwasong-15 missile, was tested in November; experts believe it could be powerful enough to lob a nuclear warhead all the way to New York City.

Hillary Clinton could never be a Communist Dictator in North Korea

I learned from PBS Frontline documentary "Secret State of North Korea" that it's illegal for commie women to wear pants in North Korea:

which might explain why Korean commie women goose step in skirts:

Since North Korean communists are such doctrinaire fashion police, it seems poor Hillary Clinton is never going to be invited to become a dictator in their workers' paradise:

Either @HillaryClinton is running for WH OR she's developing a line of Yoga pantsuits for @lululemon and Talbott's. http://t.co/7gGeHEuPRW

However, the Clintons seem to have the typical US phony politician vendetta down pat, as illustrated from Perry Mason "The Case of the Foot-Loose Doll" episode:

From 20 JUN 2014  "RawStory" article "Conservative site slapped over copyright breach, library says, not Clinton vendetta"

"The University of Arkansas temporarily suspended research privileges for the Washington Free Beacon after the conservative website published audio recordings of Hillary Clinton discussing a rape case she defended in 1975....

The recordings — which were made in the 1980s by journalist, biographer, and author Roy Reed — contain comments made by Clinton about her representation of a man accused of raping a 12-year-old girl in 1975.

Clinton suggests in the recordings that she believed her client was guilty, although he had passed a polygraph test, and the man accepted a plea bargain and was sentenced to one year in prison, according to the Free Beacon report.The victim had said in 2008 that she believed Clinton was just doing her job, but she told The Daily Beast this week that the recordings had changed her view.

“It’s proven fact, with all the tapes, she lied like a dog on me,” the victim said. “I think she was trying to do whatever she could do to make herself look good at the time.”"

Obama NSA Donilon thinks US foreign policy = #DoublePlusGood

Tom Donilon told Charlie Rose that he guesses Iran won't get nukes and if they do, they probably won't act like North Korea and extort money by threatening to kill everybody with said nukes. He also says that Saudi Arabia probably won't try to get nukes from Pakistan in response.

Hence, judging by the Obama admin foreign policy track record, the exact opposite of everything Donilon predicted is probably true.

ICYMI Tom Donilon is the guy that Pat Caddell fingered as the leaker from the White House who got Seal Team 6 killed

President Obama’s team “put a target” on the backs of the Navy SEALs who killed Osama bin Laden, says Karen Vaughn in a video that suggests her son died three months later as a result of White House national security leaks.

  and compromised US intelligence efforts to counter Iranian bomb program by leaking info about  stuxnet:

The information in the 2012 book by chief Washington correspondent David E. Sanger has been the subject of a yearlong Justice Department criminal investigation: The FBI is hunting for those who leaked details to Mr. Sanger about a U.S.-Israeli covert cyberoperation to infect Iran’s nuclear facilities with a debilitating computer worm known as Stuxnet.

NORK apologists = DORKs

North Korea recently expelled US weapons inspectors because the Obama administration had the temerity to express ambivalence about North Korea's desire to nuke Japan off the face of the earth. China Confidential points out that it is both silly and dangerous to assume that North Korea behaves in such a manner only to get attention.

Orders of magnitude more absurd is to assume that North Korea will become a shining city upon a hill if the rest of world rewards North Korea's truculent behavior with pity and charity, as advocated by a leftwing pundit, Selig Harrison, on US taxpayer supported PBS:

North Korea is a poor, struggling, pathetic country, a country to be pitied much more than to be feared, with tremendous economic problems. They've got to normalize relations with us. They've got to get things from the outside world

Selig Harrison then proceeds to volunteer:

But our objective has to be to get their nuclear weapons program capped at the four or five weapons they now [have].

So, golly gee whillikers, poor little, pitiable North Korea only has four or five nuclear ICBMs . Harrison somehow thinks it is wise to advocate that we should hand over more fungible money to the North Koreans. Why? So their insane military dictator can purchase nuclear ICBMs for every day of the week?

Hippy Selig works for Center for International Policy , which advocates demilitarization:

Promoting a U.S. foreign policy based on international cooperation, demilitarization and respect for basic human rights

Judging from his statements, his hippy Communist International Politburo only advocates unilateral US demilitarization, but is perfectly hunky dory with totalitarian Maoist tyrants ramping up their militaries.
