#1 How could they have possibly overlooked an ultimatum that North Korea's armed forces deliver Kim's severed head on a pike so that we don't bomb them back to the stone-age? Funny how that one slipped AP's list. I'm sure they meant to include it but just ran out of space.

#2 We get to see how soon Japan can go nuclear. My guess: they've all the plans, and maybe even parts.

#3 Doesn't Japan also have a huge stockpile of highly refined material already on hand as well?

#4 I read an article this year estimating Japan could go nuclear in 6 months. They have the fissile material from power plants, tech out the wazoo, money, industrial capability, just no pressing need for nukes, until now. That 6 month figure prolly isn't for a crude bomb either, it's probably for a miniturized warhead on a medium range delivery platform.

#5 While I can imagine stronger responses, I can't imagine any of them actually put into effect.

Nothing will happen.
