| #3 More likely gearing up for extended blackmail than a first strike. However... During the Cold War, the US and the Soviets played Mutual Assured Destruction. Despite snark about the acronym MAD, this worked because ICBM flight time between the two countries is roughly 30 minutes which meant no one could get in a first strike sucker punch. Flight time between NKor and Japan looks to be about 3~4 minutes. With so little time for the defender to respond, if push comes to shove, making the first move starts to look pretty attractive. Note: the same situation exists with India vs Pakistan. |

| #1 Preparing to deliver or receive I wonder? I'm waiting for a NKor orbital launch with a following blast. They don't really need a 'rangy' ICBM against commercial sats that haven't been hardened. |
