north korea has been complaining _ north koreans reacting?ng about these i has been complaining about these exercises every single year since they have been held. it is no wonder, in fact, these exercises have been used as a diplomatic weapon and a negotiating tool. they have been temporarily suspended or postponed on occasion in an effort to draw north korea to the table to negotiate over its nuclear weapons capabilities. we ought to remember that it capabilities. we ought to remember thatitis capabilities. we ought to remember that it is north korea that violated the npt, the non—proliferation treaty, it is north korea that has taken actions that have gone against the world community in its actions. if we canjust the world community in its actions. if we can just take a step back and look at what these drills mean for the right wider region, how do you see beijing responding to this? china has complained about these exercises for a very long time. china has benefited from north korea being the front man, upfront and complaining very loudly.

north korea poses a number of challenges for the united states, and i think in cyber what is strikingbout the north korean threat is it is asymmetric. north korea is one of the least digitally connected countries in the world. fewer than 10% of its people even have a cell phone. when north korea wages a cyberattack on other countries like the united states, the sony pictures hack that happened several years ago, if we respond in kind in cyberspace, not much happens. when north korea's internet went down shortly after the sony hack, nothing really happened because north korea literally had 28 websites in the country. advanced industrial economies, capitalist democratic countries like the united states are far more vulnerable in cyberspace than countries like north korea. that is new. until now, in the physical world, countries that are the most powerful were the most secure. in cyberspace, we are powerful and vulnerable. susan: how useful has open-source source information been in assessing the success of north korea's nuclear ambitions? amy: open source has been surprisingly successfu
