SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - North Korea has moved a missile with "considerable range" to its east coast, South Korea's defense minister said Thursday, but he added that there are no signs that Pyongyang is preparing for a full-scale conflict.
The report came hours after North Korea's military warned that it has been authorized to attack the U.S. using "smaller, lighter and diversified" nuclear weapons. It was the North's latest war cry against America in recent weeks. The reference to smaller weapons could be a claim that Pyongyang has improved its nuclear technology. Or a bluff.
...Hecker has estimated that North Korea has enough plutonium to make several crude nuclear bombs. Its announcement Tuesday that it would restart a plutonium reactor indicated that it intends to produce more nuclear weapons material.
and there is all sorts of speculation as to what it means, including the idea that Un might not be in control of his military.
It's likely that DPRK is playing the game of brinksmanship to an extreme this time as Un tries to build his own reputation as Korean despot, stepping out of his father and grandfather's shadow.
i still don't think the intention is an actual launch,
but this ****ing asshole has ratcheted up tensions to the point where full scale war could erupt over a border guard flipping the bird to a soldier across the DMZ.
i truly hope we don't get dragged into yet another ****ing war. we've been at war for most of my adult life. enough is enough.

I hear you. The problem is troll doll jr needs a way to back out of this so he'll save face among his subjects. He's gone so far to the extreme its not going to be easy for him to ratchet down his current build up. I dont think a North Korean Conflict would be an extended conflict anyway.
It is at this time we should be considering the cost and weight of one, expertly fired .50 round, over millions of .223 rounds...
Assassination IS a public service, in many cases.
Assassination won't stop the nutso regime of NK. The whole country, as a political force, needs to be seized and restructured.
If China doesn't loosen its grip on the situation soon, we could have a real mess on our hands.

You don't think a US made 50 cal to the head would send a message?
I mean, I don't know. Maybe make things worse, who knows.
To me, this is all bluffery, I think Anonymous has the right idea. It's time citizens started doing more, instead of sitting back and expecting others (governments) to do it all for them.
very easy for you to say but try living under a tyrannical government who has killed millions of your fellow citizens and imprisoned many others. Rebellion is not an option for these people.

I didn't suggest the citizens of N. Korea. I'm talking about groups of us from all over. We're a global society. It's time governments recognize that. Is it OK to have vigilantism on an international scale? Probably not...but it certainly made me smile when I heard about the Anonymous attack on the news. Imagine 4 billion people, pissed off at you for being a crap dictator.
I don't know. I just think it's lazy of us all to sit back and expect our governments to handle everything.
ah ok my apologies.
The only problem with that is we still have far too many differences, we would spend days just trying to agree on a path of action.
