since the U.S. has enough nuclear weapons to blow the whole world up about nine times. The apparent test of the long range rocket fizzled out in the second stage. It has been estimated that North Korea might have three or four bombs that may or may not be deliverable by their rockets. Are they going to commit suicide by firing a rocket at the U.S.? If they did, North Korea would be a glassy desert in a matter of hours.
Yeah, but an ICBM in the hands of a crazy dude makes for a pretty strong bargaining chip.
