We are all aware that the North Koreans have not followed through on their part of the denuclearization process. In testimony before Congress, Christopher Hill puts part of the blame for that on North Korea’s stone-age infrastructure (Kansas City Star).
North Korea has slowed the dismantling of its nuclear reactor because it hasn’t received the amount of fuel oil it was promised, State Department envoy Christopher Hill said Wednesday…
Hill blamed the slow oil delivery on logistical problems. He said North Korea’s ports could handle only the delivery of 50,000 tons of fuel oil at a time. Russia has been unable to deliver its own fuel oil to North Korea and instead purchased and sent a shipment from Singapore, Hill said.
So all we have to do is send more oil up north and everything is golden? Who would have thought it would be so easy.
