[ARCHIVED THREAD] - U.S. officials believe North Korea nuclear test may be imminent (Page 1 of 4)

SEOUL, South Korea -- New satellite images show that North Korea is "primed and ready" for a sixth nuclear test, a think tank said, amid escalating tensions as President Donald Trump has said he won't rule out military action against the communist state.

Commercial satellite imagery from Wednesday showed new activity, including vehicles and people walking around or in formation at the North's main nuclear testing site in the northeastern mountains, said the 38 North website that monitors North Korean activities.

About 11 tarp-covered pallets of equipment or supplies, a formation of personnel and several people walking about also were spotted in the main administrative area's courtyard, according to the site, which is run by the U.S.-Korea Institute at Johns Hopkins University. The post was titled "North Korea's Punggye-ri nuclear test site: primed and ready."

Many U.S. and South Korean officials have predicted that the North may conduct its sixth nuclear test or another missile launch in connection with the 105th birthday of the communist state's late founding father, Kim Il Sung, on Saturday.

South Korea's military has detected "no unusual activity so far," said Col. Roh Jae-cheon, a spokesman for the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Military officials have said in the past that North Korea is ready for another nuclear test if ordered by leader Kim Jong Un.

Which is routine and has been happening for years.

As far as I can tell that was some bullshit drummed up by "journalists" looking for a sensational, tabloid level story.

I get the feeling this is either BS or will turn out to be another non-event like everything North Korea does. Yawn.

I hope little Kim is aware that we currently have a leader who does more than write apology letters.

Well there's one thing we know for sure; that green text just killed my night vision. How am I going to SHTF tonight with my night vision gone?

Guess I better start being poor after I buy some NV goggles.
