    I guess my question is how many devices does North Korea have that are operational and its basically the end of life on this planet after the retaliatory strike and then the Russians or China get involved which lead to the UK and Sub launched missiles GAME OVER Just my 2 cents

    Not hard to figure out why he can't get a missile up with names like No Dong 1.
    Sounds like bad 80's porn:D

    I doubt their nuclear weapons are weaponized.
    His delivery system will have to be planes trains and automobile for the forsee able future. But by building plutonium devices they are on the fast track to making a lot of nuclear weapons quickly if they can figure it out.
    Then you have iran. They want to build a uranium device or devices. The only reason one would want the extremely difficult task of enriching that much uranium is if they only wanted to build a few bombs that are assured to work and would be much easier to put on a rocket and know they were going to work when they reach their target.

    I believe that everyone is truly underestimating Kim Jong-in. Let's face it, if he was so incompetent then he would have been killed off ages ago. The kid is ruthless and smart, really smart, and plays realpolitik probably better than any leader on the planet. The fact that the rockets are failures are meaningless, not even a backward step, just means more work needs to be done. They will get there and soon. He will continue to play for time knowing that as soon as he has the means to strike the US at will that he will be safe. No US president would trade Los Angeles (or any major US city) for North Korea. So, there truly is only one question that needs to be answered by the rest of the leaders of the world: Can we live with a nuclear North Korea with a ballistic delivery system? If not, then he needs to go now...and forget about this agreement of not killing world leaders. But, to underestimate this kid because of his weight and a bad haircut is a huge mistake.

    LOL! [LMAO]

    Every time you type I think to myself, "My goodness. She actually knows nothing about the Matrix."
    And then I remember, oh she's just being nice.

    I don't do nice. I only crash the residual self image, break dreams. Kimmy is doing what is expected, the sycophant for the parade --and the party is just getting started. Because FEAR. Nothing is real...but what is real, anyway?

    (hugs)

    Just as a side note, most if not all Port of Entry locations, have radiation detectors. Every shipping container that comes through our two local ports have to go through a scanner bay before they are removed from the property.

    Problem with all that Dart, is they would only have to get past the break water of any harbor, or even be tied along side to set one off, and there is nothing any one can do to stop it. How many ships is the U.S.C.G. able to stop and search? unless the Navy steps in to help, not likely to find one! Even more possible is Lightering to smaller boats who never get stopped and checked, and then they can motor up river or unload to a road system and move around with out challenge!

    The best part of Washington State was the salmon and steelhead fishing and from what my little brother has told me that's screwed up now as well:(

    Speaking of, looks like I'll be headed up to your neck 'o the woods early this summer for my nephew's birthday. I'm building him an AR in 7.62x39mm. Maybe we could FTF over an adult beverage?

    And cherries. And back in the day, a friend of mine bought a cherry orchard for a tax write off. Epic fail, he was raking it in hand over fist until he tested one of those sayings, you know, "If a virgin walks thru the orchard, all the trees will die." Somehow, he conned the neighbor's daughter to help harvest one year (all of 12 y.o. he said) and half the trees died.

    I mention Washington State because that was the only State online articles said he could possibly reach

    online articles that say Washington State is the only State he could possibly reach are incorrect

    if Washington State is in range at least 2 other states are in range as well, some folks know nothing about missiles, monkeys know a lot more about this than the average Jane or Joe

    just sayin

    Distances from Pyongyang. It is thought that North Korea already has a 2,500 mile capability and the failed tests were for missiles having a 5,000 mile range, placing Alaska, Western Canada, and Hawaii within range. Other missiles I have heard about with longer ranges are either in development or not deployable. 6,000 miles places everything from Sam Diego to near the Great Lakes in range. 7,000 miles only a few parts of Texas and Florida appear safe.

    The largest estimated nuke the North Koreans have are relatively small and it would take several for them to take out even a city like Portland. Our wrath would be far, far, beyond the damage they could possibly deal.

    A real attack would come by container as has been mentioned above or through our incredibly porous border.

    So they don't have the ones that go further than 5,000 miles now. How long would you guesstimate that they do have the ones that go longer than 5,000 miles ready? 5 Years? A decade? If they took out the State of Washington. would Southern Califonia be safe from harmful radiation? If not, how long would it take the radiation to reach Los Angeles? Best case and worst case scenario. I still think that if a Nuke happened in the State of Washington only, people in Los Angeles the first few days would have no trouble getting on a plane leaving Los Angeles.

    plus they have or are developing sub based missiles, they can reach any US state within 900 to 1,200 mi of the coast
