"The United States does not recognize North Korea as a nuclear weapons state," [CIA Director Michael] Hayden was quoted as saying by a South Korean defense official in the JoongAng Ilbo newspaper. "It's because the nuclear test last year was a failure."
I figured their test fizzled. This always seemed more likely than fantastic successes in miniaturizing nuclear devices as some speculated. These people think Spam is a Wonder of the World, people.
This is all the more reason to just drag talks out so that if there is an agreement, it is a good one and not one for the sake of an agreement. The best case is that while we talk and talk, North Korea will erode even more and simply collapse.
Don't save this monstrous regime.
