NYT to no-good? nytimes.com How a Top Secret SEAL Team 6 Mission Into North Korea Fell Apart The 2019 operation, greenlit by President Trump, sought a strategic edge. It left unarmed North Koreans dead. Sept. 5, 2025 President Trump and the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, had an erratic relationship. They met on Sentosa Island in Singapore in 2018.Doug Mills/The New York Times By Dave Philipps and Matthew Cole Dave Philipps is a national correspondent for The New York Times, and Matthew Cole is a freelance journalist. Both have covered the military for more than 15 years. A group of Navy SEALs emerged from the ink-black ocean on a winter night in early 2019 and crept to a rocky shore in North Korea. They were on a top secret mission so complex and consequential that everything had to go exactly right. The objective was to plant an electronic device that would let the United States intercept the communications of North Korea’s reclusive leader, Kim Jong-un, amid high-level nuclear talks with President Trump. The mission had the potential to provide the United States with a stream of valuable intelligence. But it meant putting American commandos on North Korean soil — a move that, if detected, not only could sink negotiations but also could lead to a hostage crisis or an escalating conflict with a nuclear-armed foe. It was so risky that it required the president’s direct approval. For the operation, the military chose SEAL Team 6’s Red Squadron — the same unit that killed Osama bin Laden. The SEALs rehearsed for months, aware that every move needed to be perfect. But when they reached what they thought was a deserted shore that night, wearing black wet suits and night-vision goggles, the mission swiftly unraveled. A North Korean boat appeared out of the dark. Flashlights from the bow swept over the water. Fearing that they had been spotted, the SEALs opened fire. Within seconds, everyone on the North Korean boat was dead. The SEALs retreated into the sea without planting the listening device. The 2019 operation has never been publicly acknowledged, or even hinted at, by the United States or North Korea. The details remain classified and are being reported here for the first time. The Trump administration did not notify key members of Congress who oversee intelligence operations, before or after the mission. The lack of notification may have violated the law.

I heard you. There is still a plan even though even though the planners do not have final say in anything that may or may not actually happen over there. SI Message "You don't do anything without a shower". I was told "You gotta eat". "What matters is that the work gets done". The young lady on the newscast said her mother told her "Never pass up a nap, a snack, or a bathroom". I was told "as long as you are in my house you will live by my rules". During the Request For Proposal process I was told something like 'mistakes in the field cost 100 times what they cost in the office'. The kids using "respect the girls" and I using "look after the kids and the dollars will look after themselves" are supposed to stay out of national politics. Dad told me the motto of the 4H club is "Learn by doing". "Work hard and do good work" with "You can use less". "We need those 'relief valves' " as heard from a project manager, still 'not in a position to see what was sold'. "I don't do anything without a shower" applies. "You got that right". After high school was done I quit working at the Bonanza restaurant to work full time in a shop (with a welding area) where for two years I assembled, pressure tested, and painted wellheads, and is where I applied one of the two types of 'pipe dope' from shop supplies to threaded connections in accordance with the type of wellhead I was told the wellhead was... the black 'pipe dope' was used on steam wellheads. A year and one-half into that job I left for a job as an electrical apprentice that I left after two weeks as I didn't like working outside in January. I went back to the shop and asked for a job saying I wanted to go to technical school in the fall, they did hire me again where I worked until the fall after applying, and being accepted, to the technical school where I learned engineering design and drafting. I now make my own meals at home.
