(CNN) -- A study just completed by the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency says North Korea may have nuclear weapons that could be delivered by ballistic missiles, a congressman said Thursday.
The revelation came from Rep. Doug Lamborn, R-Colorado, during a House Armed Services Committee hearing.
"Quoting from the unclassified portion, which I believe has not yet been made public, they say, quote, 'DIA assesses with moderate confidence the North currently has nuclear weapons capable of delivering by ballistic missiles. However, the reliability will be low.'" Lamborn told Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, who was testifying before the committee.
Lamborn asked Dempsey whether he agreed with the assessment. Dempsey appeared to be caught off guard.
"Well, I haven't seen it," Dempsey replied. "And you said it's not publicly released, so I -- I choose not to comment on it."
North Korea's missile capabilities
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon later told CNN's Wolf Blitzer, "We do not have any independent information to verify" the DIA study's assessment.
Is North Korea serious about military action? Or is it just testing the world?
A missile had been briefly raised to an upright firing position, stoking concerns that a launch is imminent, a U.S. official told CNN on Thursday.
Later, another U.S. official said it's been tucked back into its launcher.

also, their untested missile system can reach Guam at least, but officials expect it can reach well into hte mainland (last one on above link) though not reliably
it is pretty clear to me that
1) we underestimated their capabilities
2) they are bluffing at the moment and are not going to strike obv
3) they are literally the perfect pawn for China. the raising and lowering of the missile? i bet that's them on the verge of getting intel from China about whether they should strike or not (obv not gonna)
4) China is going to start supplying them with nukes to hold against our throats
QUESTION
do you think China has the capability to destroy us/ is willing to?
i think they are strongly considering either putting us against the wall and waiting for our debt to skyrocket. then theyre going to bleed us out until we're useless or are forced to go to war, or we become an empty figurehead.
also they have been purchasing land EVERYWHERE for a long time, including in America (notably farmlands) and shit tons of land in Africa/ South America
