I think maybe Kim-Um-JunkIl passed gas.

Complete Bollocks.That's my reaction, although I seem to recall that there is a spectrum of fusion "enhanced" devices, short of a dominate fusion reaction, so maybe there is some technical basis for this claim, however thin.

This is why I was telling you that Japan and South Korea must resolve the comfort women, issue because they both have to deal with the China-North Korea-Pakistan- Russia axis.

You’re link doesn’t work.
To: Mariner
Yeah, because doesn’t a Hydrogen bomb (fusion) require a fission reaction to initiate the fusion reaction? Have they had a successful fission test? Don’t recall other than a couple of failed attempts with lots of conventional explosives that would have been for a fission test.

It was a stray quotation mark at the end of the URL. The following link does work.

Thanks. This one works.

Doesn’t sound like an H-bomb.
The 5.1 magnitude quake indicates a yield of only around 45 kilotons - in the ballpark of their earlier tests.
It could have been a dud H-bomb - a fission trigger explosion that failed to produce the fusion explosion.
Or they might have been exaggerating their claim.

Thank You very interesting stuff.

One detonated in a third-nation-flagged tramp freighter near the port of New York will crash our economy and take most of the rest of the world with it. Just one.
They only *need* one.

"The 5.1 magnitude quake indicates a yield of only around 45 kilotons"
Our Pershing II missiles had a thermonuclear yield of 5-50KT. Selectable.
The Minuteman III ICBM carries 100KT warheads.
And, I don't think we have ever seen a 45KT fission weapon.

There's a substantial mountain there they likely just blew up. Unlikely to be any sign of the explosion on the test site surface except for extremely trace radioisotopes over time.

"

You're very welcome. The following is also very interesting.
Watch the video for footage of what appears to be the preparation and shot. Thanks to TigerLikesRooster (different thread here, TLR).
