They have electricity?

Brief excerpt; The paper said the general made clear at a speech given at a rally in Pyongyang that intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) and other rockets capable of attacking pre-set targets have been armed with various types of atomic warheads.

Keep talking fatty. All those Aegis ships will shoot your crap down so fast you’ll be sweeping up fallout for weeks.
And China and Russia have never helped N. Korea get such missiles and would issue strong notes of protest in support of the US
if such missiles took out the western USA...
(sarc/off)
I’ve been saying for a while now that we need to EMP them before they can start world war 3
BTW, I STILL BELIEVE that these “nukes” are just a few thousand tons of urea based fertilizer that South Korea gave NK. South Korea has given them 1,000,000 tons in the last 10 years, nitrate and urea based.
If you look at the seismographic chart, it has two peaks to it, not one. It wasn’t a nuke but a huge chemical explosive detonated from two sides for maximum effect.
Don’t they have a problem in that none of their ICBMs are in hardened silos? They have to trot them out to a gantry above ground and fuel them up before launch. Perfect targets, I would suppose.
The current young leader has a grievance with Apple at Cupertino CA
Speaking of which... A couple of science experiments in caves do not make for a weapon. Something that can survive the rigors of launch, brief space flight, and re-entry and still function properly.
My take - they're a threat, a serious threat, but not an imminent one. If Kim said he was shooting a nuke at me tonight, I'd still go to bed as usual and sleep well.
We are mothballing two of our Aegis cruisers...none are now on station near NOK. We don’t have a chance of stopping a NOK missile right now. Maybe the Japanese might do it , but the NOK’s know that we are bluffing and so are they.
NK doesn’t have diddly squat in the way of nuclear
warheads OR missiles that pose a realistic threat.
Now whether or not China or Russia have staged some
of their stuff in NK is a different issue but North
Korea simply doesn’t pose a credible threat to anyone
other than South Korea and possibly Japan.
I thought Ambassador Worm made us all tight and chit
I don’t think they even have nukes. Why would they be detonating 1KiloTon PLUTONIUM NUKES when that in itself necessitates SUPERIOR technology (suitcase bomb nuke)? The whole thing is a bluff to see if Obama buys it and sends people over with money. That’s the only thing this fat turd cares about.
He’s out of money and he has military to feed. He would never let his own people work and develop the country because they’d stick him with a pitchfork the first chance they get.
He takes a lot of fertilizer that SK sent him 10 years ago, converts it to an explosive, and blows it up under a mountain. Ooooh, a BOMB! Then he suddenly has the power to condense it into ICBM warhead size and, without any test, fire one at us? He’s full of s***.
Let him dance his little dance, because soon he’ll be deposed by some general of his.
I am surprised that Obama hasn’t announced that our anti-missile capability to protect us from a North Korean nuke has been curtailed because of the budget sequester.
But is he over 4’ tall?
“It wasn’t a nuke but a huge chemical explosive”
usually we send a spy plane to pick up leaked isotopes, and the results are not published. Pretty sure from seismic results this was a nuke. Chemical explosives cannot be microsecond fast no matter how big. Look up Misty Picture or Minor Scale seismic profiles (kiloton conventional blasts).

Wonder what the message was from Obama that Rodman
delivered to N. Korea that they are shooting their mouth off with renewed bravado.
It was somewhat easier to sleep when adults with US military allegiances ran Washington...
Still, I have a similar disregard for the norks.
One device over Pyongyamstylestarvashistan or whatever would cool their jets for a few hundred years.
They have electricity?
Same weird double spike and reanimating fade. Now look at real nukes. 
I am with you,
Like Iran with their stealth fighter they are both FOS.
I have it on very good authority that China does not support NK. There is no open border between China and NK. The border between the two countries is a desolate place.
China has grown tired of NK asking for more and more assistance and implying that NK helped defeat Japan during WWII.
3? We lost almost 100,000 KIA in that one.
Meanwhile, Senior Senate Republicans were seen noshing with Barack Obama and lecturing Teaparty senators on protocol.
You are 100% correct. If they do it, the delivery would be by boat, probably via a container ship or sub.
They would be absolutely insane to do this. The problem is their leader is absolutely insane. The solution is not difficult. Smoke the little bastard off the face of the earth and call it a North Korean atomic accident.
xin lỗi about that!

Hey, the Obama Administration is taking the obvious response to nuclear proliferation to multiple radical, terrorist states by cutting our nuclear arsenal to a proposed 300 devices.
You can sleep easy now!
They could barely put a toater sized object into a wobbly orbit.
They expect us to belive they are working ICBMs?
It’s a good thing for them that America doesn’t believe in hitting first.
One eye open, FRiend!
No rest for the weary... we’re here for the duration.
Here, there, or in the air.
they can’t make it to virginia. they could maybe hit the northwest if everything went right.
it’s not open, but stuff goes back and forth and a certain number of people go back and forth via checkpoints. some are able to cross illegally. saw a documentary devoted to the border topic.
I've been saying that since the first "fizzle", their results are nothing but a bluff. A chemical explosion of sufficient magnitude, spiked with the appropriate isotopes and noble gasses is a lot cheaper then actually going nuclear. Do you remember a couple of years ago, the Norks had an "industrial accident" that damn near erased one of their cities? A train loaded with "fertilizer" exploded as it was passing through a rail yard. There were rumors that it was sabotage and the plot was to take out Kimm the elder who's private train was scheduled to pass through the same rail yard. Kimm's train was delayed. I have satellite pictures of before and after and they show the city as decimated.
I'm guessing they bought the technology from the Pakistanis but couldn't afford to follow through with producing the hardware. A gun type design is simple, crude and easy to build but it is large and heavy, requiring a heavy bomber to carry it. If they faked a plutonium implosion device it would lend credibility to their threats of a missile attack.
The Red Chinese would give the Norks the whole package if they wanted them to have it. The Chinese will not do so because they do not want the crazy Koreans to start WWIII just when they have achieved economic ascendancy over the US and their "Manchurian candidate" is gutting our military. Why go to war and spoil all that real estate when all they need do is wait and the apple will fall right off the tree into their hands.

Well, guess we’ll have to re-target a few of our missles toward North Korea..heh. There are those in this world that talk silly talk and this man is one of those. I’m sure that he knows the consequences so this is just a stupid statement by a dictator trying to get a rise out of his countrymen. Good luck with that...
Ah heck, in a huff we could always transfer a few smaller nukes to South Korea just to be sure...but why bother. Distance is not the problem - attitude is.
Reflection off some local discontinuity in rock density?
Yeah, it’s akin to Keith Olberman that he’s going to win a debate point against Rush Limbaugh if he isn’t careful...
The Dear Leader's private train had passed through the same switchyard hours (or maybe minutes) before the explosion.
So do we, shithead.
EMP...I like your style...and sense of really playing dirty just before a major battle. If it’s fair, a battle plan sucks. By blinding them, your idea has real promise, at least for the first five minutes. With NK, that should be more than enough.
Wonder what the message was from Obama that Rodman
delivered to N. Korea that they are shooting their mouth off with renewed bravado.
*******
Hahaha! Great post!
If this is true, Pyongyang will soon be Pyongyin.
I get the impression this is bluster from the Kim kid because his position is unsteady and is in danger of being taken out by his own lot. This is a power play bluster.
Don’t think NK has a ton of technology that would make an EMP effective at all. Just carpet bomb everything. Wouldn’t even need troops on the ground.
Very plausible. They could put it on a freighter destined for Havana and then divert to Miami. Plus, think about the ensuing crisis that Obama could exploit to permanently install an authoritarian central government. He might see an opportunity in letting the attack happen.
Agreed, and as a reminder, South Korea DONATED (not sold) 1 MILLION TONS of urea and nitrate fertilizer.
They potentially could explode thousands of “nukes”. Maybe they could put a bunch of fertilizer in a warhead.
All they would need to do is bomb the communication structures of Pyongyang while simultaneously invading from the south. Kim Jong Un is like a retarded Hitler and would dive into the bunker while wishing his troops the very best.
Why is NK trying to provoke us? What do they stand to gain?
Not just the DMZ, they have put small objects into orbit. Which means they can put it anywhere.
