Escalation? :hmm2:

Only in using war rhetoric(I hope)

Well, South Korea can not just simply sit and do nothing.

Things seem to be settling down now that Easter is over, but I love this quote from Time:

Or Kim playing chicken with a train.

Which is pretty much what the DPRK is doing right now... playing chicken to see who will flinch first. The DPRK will flinch at the last minute, as always.

I sent Obama a letter stating he could send my wife there. I'm sure after a week of her chatter, Kim would shoot himself.

Seoul remains calm despite North Korea's sabre-rattling:

Did someone in NK blink?

"North Korea's stance, however, can be notoriously difficult to interpret.
In a later release Monday on KCNA, Pyongyang announced the adoption of a law "consolidating" its position as a nuclear power that would use its weapons only “to repel invasion or attack from a hostile nuclear weapons state and make retaliatory strikes.

Among the law's pledges were that North Korea would store its weapons responsibly, that it would not use them against non-nuclear nations, and that it would participate in nonproliferation talks -- though the last clause came with the condition that there was “improvement of relations with hostile nuclear weapons states.”

Politicize much Time?
Yea great quote since aircraft are designed and built immediately and only under Republican Presidents.

The B-52 was a response to a design requirement issued during the Truman administration. Even had its 1st flight under Truman, they would be introduced in to service under Eisenhower.

The B-2 began theoretical work under Nixon and Ford, and design work under Carter. The design was finalized during Reagan's term, and would not be in service until the Clinton administration.

The requirements for the F-22 were spelled out back under Reagan, and the design finalized under H. W. Bush. They actually started building the planes under Clinton.

At the very least he will plant a victory garden. :88)

is North Korea working on advanced nuclear weapon?

It should be noted that historically, NK has started such yapping shortly after the election of past SK presidents.

I doubt it.

Are they working on it? Sure. Most likely

But working on it and being able to weaponize it are too different things. They have a lot of problems to overcome before they can put on on a rocket.

A boat/barge delivery is about the only option they have. They could put it in a cargo aircraft and fly it into Soul.

The value of nuclear weapons in in the defense threat. That is given up if anyone actually uses one.

Who's soul?:hmmm: (where's Steve!!)
