Nuclear security

The North Korean nuclear threat keeps growing. Here's how to really deal with it

North Korea is a “small country, far-away, about which we know little,” to paraphrase a fateful comment in defense of appeasement from the 1938 crisis over Czechoslovakia. But there is one thing every American needs to know about far-away North Korea: its rulers are on a methodical and relentless quest for the capability to hit New York and Washington with nuclear weapons.

The nuclear campaign that North Korea—formally known as the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, or DPRK-- is planning against the United States is one it intends to win.  

Washington is badly unprepared to meet this threat, because too many of our leaders do not understand the Pyongyang game-plan.
