WE HAVE TO GO DEEPER

I want to say they actually offered intel as late as 2005, but I may be getting my sources wrong.

Libertarian?

TEAR IT ALL DOWN

And that all seems equally dumb to me, but maybe, as you said, I’m just underestimating DPRK quality control and safety. I mean, we do our utmost to keep people away from things like that, and I have a lot more confidence in our safety.

Ayn Rand

No, but because generally, you don’t allow the leader of your country near stuff that is, y’know, super, super dangerous.

That’s pretty dark, especially given that the population of the DPRK is entirely held hostage.

I suppose. Don’t wanna end up in the middle of a field under an AAA shell.

Fair

Not worried about radiation, but about DPRK quality control.

It does have a bit of a 2006 flair, doesn’t it?

Oh, do you mean escorting them near the Horn? Or in the Gulf of Aden? Because that, I buy. But I don’t buy them being escorted IN the Persian Gulf.

As someone who owns a bit of Uranium ore, you’re correct as far as that’s concerned, though inhaling it would be an issue, and you’d have to really trust the ability of DPRK manufacturing to contain the core.

I starred this.

When the US did it, there also wasn’t any prior knowledge, though.

I justed starred both of these comments.

Is there any way they’d allow glorious leader that close to it if it were a REAL warhead?

Yeah, I mean, it would be great for the US if that happened, both for the budget and force structure of our armed forces and also for American jobs created by selling more abroad, but I’m not sure I trust the Air Force to say anything honest about the F-35 anymore unless it’s pretty clearly negative.
