dogtowner It might be wise to let Kim have his nuclear weapon. But Seoul is on the border so only one rocket could still damage the capital.

If it makes it that far

they will maybe not today but they will and then the fun starts.

Kim Jung Un is like a toddler playing with a handgun. We don't think it's loaded, but then, who can be sure? There must be a way to get it away from him before he pulls the trigger and we all find out.

They've been trying for a while. They may not be connecting the dots as to why.
Hussein tried to buy nukes for decades, never happened. Money even changed hands and no bombs. Not just bad luck.

Let's hope they're right and that pistol really isn't real.

I don't think the PRC care about Kim playing with his toys as long as they are not directed at them. THey are trying to keep the Norh Korean economy viable otherise their enemy South Korea will move in and be on their border.

Exactly. It's an economic basket case.

I think he means that if they do actually perfect mushroom clouds they can divert resources to making mushrooms and stuff that's a bit more useful - the basic staples to sustain life food, clothes and wi-fi.... I think that's what the lads saying?
