Does North Korea have the miniaturization technology to actually put a nuke on a missile?  It's one thing to detonate a nuke underground.  It's another thing to make it small and reliable enough to deliver it long distance.

Preeeeety sure that's satire.

Satire though it may be, the funny thing is Mr. Key would say everything in that article. It is also sadly very true - if the DPRK did target New Zealand, there would be nothing they could do. It's actually quite a good idea to hold New Zealand for ransom rather than the USA.

I like Australians and New Zealanders even more then I did originally. Their politicians are honest about stuff!

We just think very highly of New Zealand that it would be in New Zealand's character to be virtuous in the face of quasi-not certain possible annihilation.

Right, thinking that's satire now. "Teenager killed by flying pie", anyone?

I figured it was satire as soon as it said that NK admitted that it's threat against the US was overly ambitious. Australia's offer to provide additional Media Coverage just sealed the deal.

"Teen critically injured after failing to blow on pie" Yep, satire.

It was it's motto's similarity to the NYT that sealed the deal. "All the news that's fit on a page".

I know. I heard someone died from laughing, though that makes sense. It was the Goonies, I believe. The wife of the man who died sent them a letter for letting her husband die happy which must have been weird to read.

Well, their missiles have, thus far, had a somewhat low success rate, and their nukes are still too large. They can't make a bomb because it'd be shot down way too easily.
How do you shoot down a theoretical concept?

THE NORTH KOREANS ARE DROPPING THE BOMB! AW YEAH!

"A bomb? Seriously? You guys suck. That's a terrible idea and you guys are terrible for thinking it. I mean, come on, like that'd work. Come back and try again when you've got an idea worthy of listening to!"

See. Easy to shoot down an idea! :P

I think we're going to have a lot of people running around like headless chickens until this crisis is resolved.
