F. Peter Brown July 28, 2014A high ranking North Korean official, Hwang Pyong-So,
reccntly declared:
“If the US imperialists threaten our sovereignty and survival… our troops will fire our nuclear-armed rockets at the White House and the Pentagon – the sources of all evil.”
North Korea has conducted three nuclear tests, but experts believe it does not yet possess the ability to apply nuclear material to warheads and still is a long way off from doing so. It also has tested short and medium range ballistic missiles. It has passed on ballistic missiles to Iran and Syria. And its ballistic missiles can currently hit South Korea and Japan.
Six-Party Talks to remove nuclear weapons from the Korean peninsula occurred between North Korea, South Korea, Japan, China, Russia, and the US; they started in 2003 and ceased in 2009 without any solid resolution.
