How big of a threat is North Korea?

Ok, we're starting to move more toward politics...

Hey all...

One very quick and general comment...

I have some connection to the missle defense agency and have done work related to missle defense...

North Korea is seen as a possible immediate threat to Japan (although Japan would say this is an understatement...which is why they want THAAD) and a possible future threat to the US.

As far as I know that is the "official" position in the "industry".

But I am just an electrical engineer, not a politician or intelligence agent.

I think north korea is going to bomb us .. they are evil. I'm afraid..they already have the supplies to do it, and they probably don't like Bush with all the trouble he's getting into with all the wars. Damn it why didn't Bush send troops to north korea, let alone Iraq.

Yup, I was just going to write that...

I do not believe that was their intention. If it was, then they would've done so. Unless it was a bluff.

Way into politics land, but given the events that probably gave rise to this thread it is worth noting that everybody is back talking again.
