Kim already has nuclear bombs/devices since quite some time. Since years. We know that from international seismographic analysis when they tested their "toys".
His missiles however had not gotten the leg to reach out for the Northamerican continent so far - until now. In two or three years it could - it will - be Europe as well. China seems to have had a major hand in boosting the speed of the Northkorean development recently, maybe Russia as well.
He then had to miniaturize the nuclear bomb so that they fit on the tip of a long range missile. That then is called an ICBM, an intercontinental ballistic missile with nuclear warhead.
The endless appeasers and always reasonable oh so concerned philantropists assumed that NK still is some time away form miniaturizing the warheads for the needs of an ICBM. They never said however what to do once we would have been there. They hoped that this time would be delayed endlessly into the future, so that they could avoid forming tough decisions themselves - or would not be needed to explain their people why nuclear blackmail by a nuclear armed NKorea all of a sudden has become acceptable for the US and the West.
Japanese sources in the defence ministry now revealed that according to their information the Koreans are extremely close to completing their ICBM, much closer than was hoped by said philantropists.
Kim'S record of deeds and crimes, and that of his whole regime and the regime before him, is known. How anyone still could bet his money on him being reasonable and responsible and interested in the wellbeing of mankind, is beyond me. Such people to me are simply insane and dangerous.
There is a story from WWII that even got repeated in several novels, that famous it is . That is that when the first photographic evidence for the existence of Nazi death camps in Poland got smuggled to England, the representative of the British government should have said something like that he could not believe his eyes. When being asked whether he wanted to say by that that the photos are forged, he should have said that No, he did not believe somebody intentionally forged them or that they did not show the truth - only that he could not believe what his eyes were telling him, it was too horrific.
Thats is the attitude many Westerners are caught in today. They simply cannot imagine that somebody could be so insane that he intentionally presses the red button, or risks to have his country and people annihilated, or becomes a state leader without indeed being insane. Even when you tell them that Hitler ticked like this, and others as well - they refuse to learn the lesson. They just refuse to learn the lesson. They do not want to understand how nasty and dirty the world can be, and they think they collect heavenly scoring points for the afterlife if believing in the good of all men. Even in the good in the Hitlers and Kims, Saddams and Stalins of this world.
How infantil. I dispise such attitude to the max. It makes me sick.
