North Korea to be a major problem soon

The record shows that the leadership has been engaged in a systematic effort to develop a miniaturized nuclear warhead that they could place on a long-range ballistic missile to target the United States. Between April 12 to April 16, they have announced that they will conduct a long-range missile test (which they described as a satellite launch, but which uses the same technology as a ballistic missile). If this test is successful (and the last one in 2009 was moderately successful), then they will have demonstrated a capability to reach Alaska, Hawaii and possibly the western United States. This would constitute an existential threat to the homeland, and a capability that Pyongyang might then seek to sell to other actors. It does not get anymore dangerous than this.

No one seem to be paying attention to the threat of this new Korean leader. Even if he's eliminated, as the article suggests, who will take his place? We live in a frightening world.

NK is a regional threat at best. Yes they might have a small missle with an atomic warhead, but really.

They only are trying to develop this for ways to have bargaining chips. It's not much. They may be ruthless to their own citizens, but they only try to push it only so far. They know the outcome.

I never see them having a conventional war down the road either. They will starve themseleves into submission.

Yeah but like the article said,
"This would constitute an existential threat to the homeland, and a capability that Pyongyang might then seek to sell to other actors. It does not get anymore dangerous than this."

There are several countries out there that would give their eye tooth to buy that technology from NK. NK needs the money and our enemies want to destroy us. Makes for an unholy alliance.
