Grapes are sour syndrome, I guess...North Korean is growing militarily in strength...No one is able to counter them!! It leads to an atmosphere of sabre rattling creating fear in the neighborhood!!
[h=1]Denuclearizing North Korea 'probably a lost cause': US[/h]October 26, 2016 00:53
The US policy of trying to persuade North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons "is probably a lost cause" and the best that can probably be hoped for is some kind of cap on the country's nuclear capability, the director of US National Intelligence James Clapper said on Tuesday.
"I think the notion of getting the North Koreans to denuclearize is probably a lost cause," Clapper said at the Council on Foreign Relations think tank in New York. "They are not going to do that -- that is their ticket to survival."
Clapper said he got a good taste of how the world looks from North Korea's viewpoint when he went to Pyongyang on a mission in 2014 to secure the release of two Americans held there.
"They are under siege and they are very paranoid, so the notion of giving up their nuclear capability, whatever it is, is a non-starter with them," he said.
