#1 Of course Seoul is only @35 miles from the DMZ and less from the coast.

#2 ...The good news here - such as it is - is that it's overwhelmingly likely that this was a one-off missile from a one-off, highly modified boat...and the only boats he's got are sufficiently old and noisy that they could be heard in Virginia Beach by a deaf, retired sonarman standing next to I-64 at rush hour using two Quaker Oats cans tied together with string.

The bad news is that this is something of a game changer - if he can put even one tube to sea, and we lose track of it (highly unlikely, but within the realm of possibility) he could start making demands, which would leave us in a situation that would make even Tom Clancy, may God rest his soul, look up and say, "Dude..."

#6 Let's sing of the loss of the Pudgeon,
The bludgeon of Juche's curmudgeon:
'Twas manned by his slaves
Who went glad to their graves
To escape from his landlubbin' dungeon.

And God rest the men of the Gudgeon. 72 years (can that be right?) last week.
