Even if we assume for a second that they have another nuclear device, they certainly lack the means of delivery.

...Experts say that Pyongyang is developing long-range missiles to have the capability one day to deliver a nuclear bomb, but that it is years away from acquiring such a weapons system.

[for the umpteenth time]

Please note the original source for the above is Reuters, before you go pouring scorn on it.


They can deliver the bomb just like the USA did in WW2. They can strap it to an aircraft and fly it in low and fast. Well it was high and semi-fast in WW2.

But yes, they do have the delivery means to put a nuke anywhere within the range of one of their aircraft.

There is no way that they are sophisticated enough yet to shrink the technology down to an artillery shell.

If as Bush says the US is 100% behind solving this through diplomacy, could someone remind me why the US has rejected direct talks with NK? Surely "some" talks are better than none? Surely then the 100% figure is slightly inacurate?

The US has again rejected direct talks with North Korea to bring about an end to the nuclear stand-off.

Washington said it would not be intimidated by threats from Pyongyang that it could fire a nuclear-tipped missile at the US unless it moved to halt the crisis.

US reject NK talks


As big as the threat may be, put aside the statement saying that NK could launch a nuke if the US do not hold talks with them. Many say Kim is just bluffing and trying to bully his way into talks anyway, so why does'nt the US talk to them?

Maybe it won't go as NK wants, maybe it won't go the way the US and the rest of the world wants, but thats the nature of talks is'nt it? In the end theres hope you might just get somewhere close to what you want. I believe it's called comprimise?

Yes i know Kim's a total nutjob, but he's asked for direct talks, so why don't we see what they want instead of puffing out our chests until someone chucks over a big one? I'm not calling for being blackmailed or coming across as the soft touch, just exhaust all avenues if they are offered.

Or are we already aware of what NK's demands will be and theres a good reason for rejecting talks?
