Wait, is this the same North Korea that had some of its most recent missle tests result in breakup shortly after launch? Call me crazy but if their missiles break up like that then I don't fear them at all. I would have to agree its just more hot air coming out of NK that should be taken with a large shaker full of salt.
I thought that maybe thay faked the failure or something, is that possible?? why all of a sudden are they acting like a major player??

Good point that the Taepodong II that exploded mid-air was a intended fake, you know, give your potential foes the impression you lack skill and know-how to succesfully launch a missile all the way to your intended target, then when your foes have the thoughts you arent a threat and the day comes, you suprise them with your (working) arsenal.
Its farfetched, but still, its a nice little deceptive tactic.

The USA has more that 24,000 nukes and will use them all up knowing after the nukes hit there wont be any bunkers left to fire them from (the bunkers with nukes WILL be targeted)

I'm mot sure how farfetched this idea would be, having a weapon capability that your enemy thinks you dont have has been done before, very effectively I might add.
