I hate thinking about nuclear threats, even though North Korea's threats are mostly dead threats.
Do you think NK will ever make an assault sometime in the future?

Im with recon. If you watch [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Countdown_to_Zero]Count down to zero[/url] it basically states the hardest part of building a nuclear device is the fissionable material. Well we know that NK has the material. The right educated college student is also able to build a rudimentary device to set the bomb off. So the hardest part for NK is getting the material into the country. The most likely way the documentary said was through cargo containers. So many cargo containers are shipped into the US that it really is impossible to search all of them. So while everyone is disscussing NKs ICBMs no one is looking into other means of delivery.

As an American citizen I consider myself a patriot, but I have a sinking feeling that this may all be propaganda. How do we know that The Democratic People's Republic of Korea is really making these threats? What if it is just a ploy to garner support for an American preemptive strike? I'm just saying, a lot was learned during world war two...

[quote]I hate thinking about nuclear threats, even though North Korea's threats are mostly dead threats.[/quote] Not so dead really. They've shown that they can construct and detonate devices in the dozen kiloton range (about the same yield as the WWII atomics). What they lack is an accurate ICBM or other surface-to-surface delivery system. But a delivery system is just that. It doesn't have to be a missile, it doesn't have to be a bomber. Put it into a container, load it on a ship, run it through a couple of ports and changes of shipping companies, and then bring it into Norfolk, Baltimore, or any other US port. Dial a cellphone detonator and.... well, there you go. Scary enough for you?
