Bob had mentioned earlier this month that we should be keeping a close watch on our government and news reports generated from the ever escalating North Korean threat. Here's what has happened in just a few weeks:
North Korea's chief delegate to the UN declared today to the UN that the danger of war on the Korean peninsula is "snowballing", and also reiterated that they have weaponized the fuel from 8,000 spend fuel rods, and accused the US of helping South Korea conduct unauthorized nuclear experiments in 1982 and 2000.
North Korea has threatened to turn Japan into a "nuclear sea of fire" in retaliation for the US launching attacks within North Korea. In response, Japan has sent surveillance aircraft and an Aegis equipped destroyer to watch North Korea.
North Korea also may be preparing a missile launch to test out a short range missile
Also, the US will be deploying Destroyers in the Sea of Japan in an effort to "deploy ballistic missile defenses.
But, to keep this all in perspectve, North Korea is infamous for speaking loudly and carrying a small stick. They have also refused to participate in the 6-way talks with the US until after the November elections because we've eliminated any reason whey they should talk to us.
