Joe- thanks for keeping me pinged on this.

WaPo reports today that DPRK is weaker militarily than once thought, and also speculation flying that this may have been a timed reaction to the straw vote on Monday at the UN in regard to Ban Ki-Moon ascending to the SG job. Ban Ki-Moon is big on nonproliferation. Will continue to share what I dig up too.
