#1 The Norks will never give it up. I do wonder where it's gone, though.

#3 Practically speaking, is there any reason why we don't just blow up the dang thing? And no, sanctity of NORK airspace or sovereignty is not a reason. Just a teensy sub-launched cruise missile. Or two, because anything worth blowing up is worth blowing up good.

#6 No way. The Norks would never let their prize sink.
Practically speaking, the reason we don't sink it with SLCMs is that the Norks would go ballistic.

#10 It could be being armed for a suicide run with a nuke. It's not I'm sure, but it's possible.

We have a winner!
I still don't see why we can't lob a SLCM on a dark and moonless night. SecState Shrillary can make the innocent puppy eyes of plausible deniability and all the missile parts are stamped Made in China. Who us?

Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
