What is he buying time for in your opinion?
Rebuilding and re-establishing a new secretive nuclear warhead facility to replace the one that the mountain sat on.

All this hand shaking, patting on the back and charming the international community with his sister is beginning to look more and more like distraction technique. They keep adding bits in to the de-nuke process to slow it down. The blowing up of the muddy entrances and sheds was just a waste of explosives - that site was already out of use.
Can't help wondering about the impact if that is what actually happens. For a start, just imagine the look on Trump's face !!

I was thinking the same. Do they just nip down the local PC World in Pyongyang and bag themselves a laptop?

More to the point,, what kind of moron gives away a flash drive, allegedly destined for North Korea, without deleting the contents first?

In the cities probably quite a few, via the black market and smuggling players in.

If you delete the contents they can still be recovered.
