From USA Today: \u00a0U.S. Geological Survey data showed that a magnitude-6.3 seismic event was detected<\/u><\/strong> Sunday in North Hamgyeong Province. Later, the the geological survey said a magnitude-4.1 event was recorded eight minutes after the initial quake<\/em>, “possibly a structural collapse<\/a>” caused by the larger seismic event.<\/p>\n

If it was that big an explosion, the yield is\u00a0 now estimated at 100 kilotons. A photo in the USA Today article shows ND:tBF looking at what may or may not be the subject of his claim that he has been testing a thermonuclear device, aka a hydrogen bomb. The unconfirmed test he says he conducted in June registered as a 5.1 seismic event, which was the strongest explosion he\u2019s carried out so far. That is if<\/em> he conducted such a test. His stated objective in this case is to get a warhead tacked onto a Hwasong-14 missile, which has a longer range than the Hwasong-12 he launched last week. He\u2019s still aiming at Guam and other US territories.<\/p>\n

For comparison, the Hiroshima bomb was 15 KT. Nagasaki was larger at 20 KT. Tsar Bomba was 50 megatons and could be dropped from an airplane. Castle Bravo, the highest yielding thermonuclear device the US tested, was supposed to be 5 MT, but that was a miscalculation. It was actually 15MT. http:\/\/www.atomicarchive.com\/History\/coldwar\/page06.shtml<\/a><\/p>\n

A reality check? Once this rocket scientist gets a missile that does not go to pieces en route, the probability of his launching one or several at other countries – specifically the USofA<\/em> – is high on his list of priorities. I don\u2019t have a copy of his list of \u2018things to do today\u2019, but I\u2019m sure he\u2019s ticking off each test as he goes.<\/p>\n

Why Fatty Kim da T\u2019ird is threatening only the US is beyond me, but he is making a lot of noise. His daddy used to threaten the South, and then occasionally launch missiles and fire tank ammo at them. As others have indicated before, his conventional weaponry isn\u2019t particularly accurate, or up to date.<\/p>\n

His trading partner, China, is not happy with him, and hasn\u2019t been for some time. They still have troops stationed at the Jilin border, still keeping an eye on their bullying neighbor. They\u2019ve restricted their trading with him for several months now. His trading deal with Moscow failed.<\/p>\n

If he\u2019s getting parts or help from Syria or Iran, that should be looked into. No, it should be stopped altogether.\u00a0 However, I\u2019m quite sure that the current administration under the sitting president is much more on top of these things than the previous admin.<\/p>\n

A joint bombing air exercise last week was a targeted response to Norkiland\u2019s Hwasong-12, which cracked up and fell into the Pacific after it flew over Japan\u2019s north island and worried people.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s probably the reason behind this latest explosion. He\u2019s showing us again!<\/p>\n

Dropping nukes on that place, as others have indicated before me, would be a waste of weaponry. The entire Korean peninsula north of the DMZ is extremely rugged and hilly. There is very little flatland north of the DMZ, which makes successful agriculture more difficult, but also presents a poor target zone for effective nukes. The nuke explosion\u2019s damage comes from the heat and the blast wave. If it washes up a hillside or a mountain, it will fall back and incinerate the target zone again. Nukes are more effective in flatland, unless you want to make a profound statement such as: \u201cOurs are nastier than yours are, Fat Boy.\u201d\u00a0 In addition, Fatty Kim da T\u2019ird has been busily digging into the granite mountains of the North, to provide shelter from bombs for himself and his favorites, not those who mean nothing to him.<\/p>\n

Maybe it\u2019s time someone just takes the bull by the horns and shoots the next Nork test missile to shit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
