Quoting: Dixie Normous The new mobile missile, called the KN-08, has not yet been operationally deployed, and American officials say it may not be ready for some time. But the discovery that the mobile units have already been dispersed around the country, where they can be easily hidden, has prompted the White House, the Pentagon and intelligence agencies to reassess whether North Korea’s missile capabilities are improving at a pace that poses a new challenge to American defenses. [link to www.nytimes.com] There is no evidence that the KN-08 has been fitted with a nuclear warhead. While North Korea conducted nuclear tests in 2006 and in 2009 — just months after President Obama took office — American intelligence officials have said that the North has not miniaturized a nuclear device small enough to be fitted as a warhead atop its missiles. Some believe that may be the goal of its next test — and perhaps, some intelligence reports speculate, of continuing cooperation on missile design between Iran and North Korea. The Iranians, one official noted, “are grappling with the same issues.” |

Fire the ICBM's and then detonate the suitcase nukes before the ICBM hits. It will cause lots of confusion. |

They worry about their neighbors who actually follow the laws of the land while North Korea runs circles around them. Pathetic performance, worthy of the current administration.

North Korea could do a lot of damage to our way of life. South Korea produces gobs and gobs of parts for everything, too. I have read Marxist Leninist Mao's theories, and it all boils down to the idea of centralized power vs. power of the states. Central Planning vs. letting people plan for themselves, accepting the inefficiencies of a free society to avoid the massive blundering of a centralized authority. |
