    This is what the public seems to demand now.

    No. Just no.

    The public would like the facts, as quickly as possible.

    The news media only listened to the second half of that sentence. Much like their reporting.

    "It is not 60 year old ordnance"

    Why would you assume that? This is NK. They can't keep the lights on much less manage & update ordnance.

    I'm sure a lot of 60 yr old ordinance, not kept in humidity controlled rooms, is effective.

    They may as well use slingshots & rocks. It'll have about the same effect.

    Apple could probably put a small percentage of their capital into TSMC and double or triple their capacity.
