There is no doubt that they have nuclear capability.

However, from what I understand, the US government has basically guaranteed nuclear defense to the S.Korean government should it become necessary. The S.Korean government accepted the deal because it allowed them to funnel more money into the Korean economy instead of defense. The same goes for the military still present in S.Korea from the US.

I honestly don't believe that S.Korea has built a nuke, but I am sure that we (the US Government) has made sure that we will supply the nuclear weapons if required.

A nuclear war in that region makes no sense at all, it does not make sense period but considering the close proximity of surround nations and those in the conflict that is just a negative - there can be no winners, just lives lost and countries where bombs fell that cannot be inhabited for years.

On another note, the South Korean war exercises have already started.

The exercises are now complete and N.Korea hasnt done anthing yet but issue a statement that reversed the previous statement of lighting up the entire region with nukes if the exercises took place. Expect some tit for tat in the next few weeks - N.Korea has to do something just to let them know they are there and still need food and aid, since none has been shipped out. Look for them to desire to restart the multi-country talks. However, this is a pretty obvious sign that China wont back them regardless or they would have done something. China really isn't happy with this as they are to meet with the US very soon and don't want this to derail their talks (China wants to talk about the US and their economy and have no desire to dedicate the entire trip to talking about N.Korea).
