N. Korea calls nuke summit a ‘childish farce’
2012-02-23
SEOUL: North Korea lashed out at its neighbor on Wednesday for hosting an international nuclear security summit in Seoul next month, calling it a “childish farce” and an “intolerable grave provocation.”
Which they'll somehow manage to tolerate...
The South has said Pyongyang can send a delegate to the conference involving some 50 world leaders, including US President Barack Obama, but insists the invitation is conditional on it renouncing its own nuclear program.

“It is astonishing that a meeting dealing with the issue of nuclear security is to be convened in south Korea, a nuclear advance base for the US and the world’s largest nuclear powder magazine,” KCNA state news agency quoted an official statement as saying.

Referring to “south” Korea without the capital “S” is its way of denying its existence as a separate country. It said the March 26-27 summit showed that south Korea was a “special-class nuclear war servant for its American master.”

The United States guarantees the South’s security under its so-called “nuclear umbrella,” but says it does not keep nuclear weapons on the peninsula.

The North itself has twice tested nuclear devices, and analysts say it has enough fissile material to make more half a dozen atomic bombs.

#1  ION WORLD MIL FORUM > KCNA: NORTH KOREA DEVELOPS 170-200 KM RANGE, MULTI-BARREL ROCKET SYSTEM [RADIATION GUN] THAT CAN COVER ALL OF CENTRAL SOUTH KOREA.

ME = Could be wrong, but IMO while the Artic says "Rocket System", it sounds more like the DPRK has dev, or is developing, a VLR/LR TUBED NUCLEAR ARTILLERY SYSTEM, e.g. US "ATOMIC ANNE"???

Or in alternate, VLR/LR NUCLEAR ROCKET SYS as supported by NUCLEAR TUBE ARTILLERY???
