now with the nuclear test, they are set to have a handful of nuclear devices.ny chance they could marry these two technologies? >> not in the short term. this is not an immediate threat. remember, we've had two previous nuclear tests in north korea in 2006 and 2009. they had a couple of rocket launches and a nuclear weapon requires more than that. you have to take a crude device, fashion it into a weapon, miniaturize it so that you can put it on a rocket and that rocket has to be 100% reliable. you can't shoot it up and have it come crashing back down on your own territory with a nuclear weapon. so, that's going to take quite a while. definitely moving in that direction. an unwelcome set of developments. no one wants their program to progress, but i wouldn't say this poses an immediate threat to the united states. for me, the real threat here is that because of changes in south korean military doctrine and because we have two new leaders in korea. a new president in south korea, a new leader in north korea, i worry more about one of them making a mistake and th
