Yeah, the 4.7 is old, the last one I read said they upgraded it to a 5.5, which would put the blast in the 20 kt range, 1945 technology but enough to blow a sizable city to he** if they desired.
Just like they improved missile trajectory, stability and telemetry on the Taepodong 2 launch on 5 April 2009, targeting Hawaii, over and above their Taepodong 2 that went out from North Korea in 2006. They are getting better and better. Hey, their ASIANS. Quality control and constant, patient eye on the long term. We, on the other hand, are, steeped in our American Idol and Sex in the City, Democrat and Republican Administration alike, fiddling while Rome burns and pissing in the wind. True to our American-ness, though, dont worry, we will wake up...but not in time, and AFTER the blast, wherever it will be. Most people will be like “WHERE did THAT come from!!??”, but the answer to that will have been lying right before them for years on end prior to the attack.
I believe it is time to end the NK threat once and for all. Unfortunately, neither the “vaunted intelligensia”, some of whom work at the UN, nor the current US administration, have the balls to declare the 1953 “truce” violated, and bring this war to conclusion.
GWB did a pretty darned good job during his 8 years of keeping NK at bay after the STOOPID Carter-Klintooon fumble of their opportunity. SNOBama is very unlikely to have the balls to carry on in that successful path.
