There is a lot of buzz about North Korea threatening to develop and launch nuclear warheads.
Peter Vincent with pry says this "North Korea could deliver a nuclear bomb in the hold of a freighter under a foreign flag to destroy a U.S. port city such as New York or Los Angeles. They could give a bomb to terrorist groups such as al Qaeda or Hezbollah to deliver by truck or plane across the porous U.S. border. They could use a false-flagged freighter to move a Scud or their medium-range Nodong missile close enough to make a nuclear strike on the U.S. mainland."
I understand where Peter is coming from. There are many ways for North Korea to detonate a warhead on U.S soil without us even knowing it was there until it blew up, but i do not believe North Korea would take the risk of nuclear fallout.
Peter also went on by saying "What about North Korea’s claim that it has long-range nuclear missiles that can strike the United States right now? If our current crop of leaders is as prudent as were President Dwight Eisenhower and Sen. Lyndon Johnson in 1957, they would warn the American people that North Korean nuclear threats to the U.S. heartland may be real. After all, North Korea has had at least three successful nuclear tests and successfully orbited a satellite the latter being the usual indicator that a nuclear power has achieved intercontinental reach."
I also agree with this but yet again I believe the risk of nuclear fallout is do big and to dangerous to take chance. Plus Eisenhower wouldn't know how to face this threat because their wasn't any advanced tech like this in is day and age.
