8:02 am
to refrain from further provocations and engage and said state and substantive dialogue and our commitment to the defense of the republic of korea and japan remains iron clad. these launches also underscore the urgent need for dialogue and diplomacy. our offer remains to meet anywhere anytime without preconditions. robert kelly is a professor of political science and diplomacy at pusan national university. he says that north korea is using miss l. diplomacy to get more attention from the white house, the advancement towards a submarine launch missile. it's actually a pretty big step. i mean, the most obvious thing it gives north gray is tremendous. rain, right? you could send the summary and basically anywhere in the world as long as remain undetected would just something of a challenge depending on the subs. agent, engine type, but i mean as long as that means under attack them, you could effectively launch from anywhere. the big advantage to north korea that this gives is what we called assured 2nd strike. in other words, even if the united states hits all of north korea land base weapons north,
8:03 am
