Thinking more about the issue[s], following the latest News, how did this primitive, starving, agricultural dictatorship achieve these capabilities?
Did Hun-Gree Wun and family suddenly emerge from his rice paddy and start doing this high-level technology? Or, more sensibly, WHO helped them achieve this? And WHO is now voting against NK in the Security Council, having realised they've let a genie out of the bottle on their own border[s]? Bit late, Comrades, but thanks to you both for the vote.
The more I worry about NK, the more I feel that (with the concurrene of China and Russia) a preemptive strike by the US on NK's nuclear and technology targets is the only credible solution. And it's in China's and Russia's interests, as much as the West's and the rest of SE Asia.
