NORTH KOREA MARKS ITS 57TH ANNIVERSARY without testing any nuclear weapons or missiles. The fesitivities were marked with the usual parades and marching soldiers (who look a little on the skinny side to me). Does the lack of a nuclear test mean that the DPRK doesn't really have nuclear weapons? That it has them but really wants to be convinced (e.g. bribed) to abandon them? Something else altogether? As is always the case with North Korea, it is hard to say.
