North Korea Tardy
136 words.
I saw this last week: Back in February, North Korea agreed to shut down its nuclear reactor within 60 days in exchange for economic aid. It’s now June and the reactor is still running, though it should be turned off “within a few weeks.” Government operations are not known for promptness, but surely they should have found the “off” button by now? Okay, it’s probably more complicated than that, and granted, there was some kind of hold-up with some North Korean money being frozen by the U.S. (I hope we didn’t give them any counterfeit $100 bills by mistake, hyuk, hyuk). But still, it’s way past the deadline. Meanwhile there’s all that nuclear material from their bomb test back in October to deal with, and it’s not hard to imagine them having manufactured more since then.
