During a deposition in his civil case, the former president offered a series of defenses, digressions and meandering explanations of his political and professional dealings.
No, we didn’t. At no point in any of our presidents’ tenures was North Korea a nuclear threat, regardless of how the US or that president was treating them.
That’s just patently untrue. They’ve never been capable of ICBM’s but they have nuclear attack subs that Naval ASW sorties have been tracking for years because they can just pull up to the coast and start firing nukes.
In fact submarines are the most realistic nuclear threat we have, the time between launch and detonation is mere minutes compared to the orbital flight time of an ICBM.
Having nukes is not the same as a nuclear threat. India and Pakistan have nukes, but neither are nuclear threats. China has nukes and is not a nuclear threat.

Alright, I’ll tell ONI that they’re wasting their time keeping tabs on a country with nukes and just enough deranged to potentially try to use them.
