South Korea readies for reunions amid north’s rocket threats
According to his biography, Kim Jong-il first picked up a golf club in 1994, at North Korea’s only golf course. Analysts believe that North Korea now has about 10 to 15 nuclear weapons, but no effective way of delivering them.

It is thought to have a small arsenal of atomic bombs and an impressive array of short- and medium-range missiles.
“Plutonium materials are ideal materials for nuclear bombs”, Mr Petrov said. But he also warned of increasingly “severe consequences” against Pyongyang a day after it declared that it has upgraded and restarted all of its atomic fuel plants – meaning it could potentially make more sophisticated nuclear weapons.
South Korea has been restrained in its response to the North’s tough talk, an indication it does not want to disrupt the fragile improvement in ties since negotiations ended a tense standoff last month. The North later pledged to resume its nuclear enrichment program at Nyongbyon.
“Denuclearization is essential to the situation of the Korean Peninsula. Everybody knows that the root cause of the cross-border conflict is North Korea’s military threats”.
Earnest said the United States is aware of actions North Korea has taken. “North Korea, though, has not made that decision”. As a result, just what is happening at Nyongbyon is unclear. But the reality is that within North Korea there are various stakeholders, and those stakeholders do oftentimes act very independently of each other.
The ministry said that North Korea imported around 24,000 tons of grains from China between January and July.
South Korea’s Unification Ministry spokesman Jeong Joon-hee Wednesday reinforced what USA and other western leaders have been saying about Pyongyang’s recent announced developments, that its main nuclear reactor is operational and it is preparing to launch a satellite into space.
The head of the AEI said a satellite rocket will be launched in October. The article also mentioned the government is willing to launch a “satellite” – considered to be a euphemism for a long-range missile. In 2013 a period of increased tensions with South Korea led North Korean officials to declare that Yongbyon would be brought back online.
Apart from the land-based platform, the North has been developing its nuclear-capable submarine system, culminating in a claim last May that it had test-launched a ballistic missile from a sub. The United Nations said it was a banned test of ballistic missile technology and imposed sanctions.
But he said Pyongyang’s “almost total absence of a legitimate economy” meant that the same strategy may not work with North Korea.
“A nuclear strike hasn’t been seen since 1945 at end of World War II when Japan was bombed”.
Since then both South Korea and the US have taken a firm stand to require Pyongyang to halt its nuclear program before they would enter into any new talks. North Korea is China’s only treaty ally.

By making it more hard for North Koreans to seek refuge in China via heavier surveillance and a willingness to force North Koreans it catches back to their country, China enables Kim’s reign of terror and crimes against humanity.
