The Patriot Post® · NoKo's Nuclear Capability

According to a new report by former Pentagon strategic analyst Mark Schneider, North Korea has ballistic missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads and striking the Western U.S., including Hawaii, Alaska and the mainland. We know it’s shocking that North Korea would continue to develop weapons in spite of sternly worded UN letters. But significant blame also lies with Barack Obama. “The de-emphasis on nuclear deterrence in the Obama administration is blatant,” the report says. Worse, “The Obama administration’s current position on the North Korean nuclear threat may very well be linked with its plans to radically reduce U.S. military capabilities in both the nuclear and the conventional arena in the near future, starting with sequestration.” Unilateral disarmament doesn’t persuade rogue regimes of anything but U.S. weakness.
