Thought for the day......
We keep hearing that they are incapable of delivering atomic weapons via missiles.
Why can't boats or subs deliver the payload. Or aircraft, either cargo or commercial.
The idea that missiles are the only means of delivery is like pulling a sheet over our heads to stop a gunshot. They have to be aware that anything attempted will bring down the whole country in retaliation so if they are that stupid, why wouldn't they sacrifice their own people aka kamakazi style.
Hell, those packages may well be on the way already and the current movements might be just a diversion for show.
Pretty eerie thought, yeah?

I don't mean delivery as a launch vehicle, but delivery aka kamakazi plane/boat or sub (the transporter becoming the outer casing of the bomb - Most Zero's took off without an undercarriage so they couldn't land).

I think most cargo shipments (there aren't that many!) out of North Korea are pretty heavily tracked. We always hear stories about missile shipments to the Middle East being intercepted, etc. I'm sure they smuggle their luxury goods in and (whatever they export) out via China, but I don't think China would let them try and nuke its biggest customer via their territory.

According to our Great Wiki, only Israel, Finland and Switzerland have them, aside from Singapore.JR8 wrote:Who is it that is threatening to bomb housing in SG?
Or am I missing the point and it's simply about instilling a sense of paranoia?
Ps. Do South Korean apartments have them? ... Does any other country?

All a part of controlling a populace by instilling false-fear in them.
QED. No further comment publicly ventured.
=========================================
""The situation inside North Korea is very unstable and the military are making a lot of complaints to their political leaders," said Toshimitsu Shigemura, an expert on North Korea at Wasaeda University in Tokyo. "The military needs tension with South Korea and the US to justify themselves and Kim is terrified of a coup."
Mr Shigemura added: "These are very clever old soldiers, but Kim is just a 29-year-old with limited experience who has been given the task of leading the country."
