I guess their nuclear miniaturization and ICBM programs are just made up?
-
No, but they're far from technically capable.

The threat of strikes against military centers in Japan is an order of magnitude more concerning.
-
We should be concerned for that because that's the powder keg that can happen today.

If we are only ever concerned about today’s powder kegs, we will never have peace. The real key here is US-China relations.

Reaching an accord on denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula in six-party talks could be the basis for a regional peace
-
Of course. But the point of those talks needs to not be "we're afraid of California." That's centering the US over at best a distant concern
-
I mean, I kind of live here, and it’s not like these aren’t interlocking concerns.
