- FDDIcent, on 10/12/2007, -4/+63thats only because everyone in north korea is considered a soldier, including 6 year old girls...
- TimmyGUNZ, on 10/12/2007, -3/+59Please, North Korea is like a whiny little kid who just wants to be noticed.
- knightblade2oo4, on 10/12/2007, -12/+61who gives a ***** if they're capable?
i think it's obvious that if they sent one to the US soil, they'd immmediately be taking the risk of barraged with 100's of nuclear weapons until nothing's left...
not that congress would approve that strike but 2nd graders shouldn't throw rocks at UFC fighters. - kloda, on 10/12/2007, -2/+42I think the interpreters have been messing with the translations to make things look more exciting. Kim is really planning to drop the F-Bomb if he doesn't get his way.
- Homunculiheaded, on 10/12/2007, -7/+43...who also happens to have the 4th largest number of active troops in the world.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+42Really smart. What are they trying to prove? (Rhetorical BTW OBV)
- dshPls, on 10/12/2007, -8/+44We should show them some of our own H bombs too ;)
- brufleth, on 10/12/2007, -3/+33I'm not really sure what you're trying to get at but you do know that Kim is a off his rocker right? Everythign he says is just wacko propaganda for the deranged little bubble that is North Korea. You really have to feel for all those people caught in that bubble with him.
- mrASSMAN, on 10/12/2007, -6/+36I'm sure it's total *****. I'm not convinced that they were able to test an A-bomb, and I REALLY doubt that they are capable of producing an H-bomb..
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+30If he drops the F-bomb we won't have to worry anymore. He'll get fined and shut down by the FCC.
- broken1812, on 10/12/2007, -2/+27This guy should not be leading a country...

- Bloodwine, on 10/12/2007, -2/+21Hopefully big brother China beats his little brother and locks him in the closet.
- zediker, on 10/12/2007, -7/+26@gvetterick:
psssst, an H-bomb is plutonium/uranium based (7-11miles of destruction)... an A-Bomb is uranium based (1-3 miles of destruction)... there is no such thing as a P-Bomb... - MysticSavage, on 10/12/2007, -3/+21They're also testing the sex bomb...however, Tom Jones is unavailable for comment.
- gmerin, on 10/12/2007, -8/+25it's just a blackmail attempt; Kim Jong-il is an exceptionally crude hillbilly (and that's an insult to hillbillies everywhere) with no sense of style or class, trying to push his way into the upper class.
- DonSchenck, on 10/12/2007, -3/+18This madman is hell-bent on his own destruction, and that of his country. Does he really think he would get away with launching a missle at the United States? North Korea would be nuked so fast and so bad it would be a new parking lot for Wal-Mart of South Korea.
This man is mentally retarded -- seriously -- and needs to be removed from office. - randysouth, on 10/12/2007, -3/+19And after that fails they'll try and test a matter-antimatter bomb.
- brufleth, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15China is the reason that Kim Il is still in place and the reason nobody has gone to war with NK. It will ultimately be China's decision to remove him or not too.
- phearinc, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15A million troops in uniform looks good on the parade ground, but i'll take a couple F-16's over a million muskets anyday.
- gpnagy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15"both New York City and Tokyo will be blazed"
That's the funniest thing I have heard all day! North Korea is going to blaze NYC. Why didn't they at least pick something a little more believable that they actually might be able to reach, like L.A. I guess we better start the duck-and-cover drills again. - gmerin, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15He doesn't want to do anything to the US; the whole thing is an extortion effort to shake down Geo W. into providing NK with the assistance and food they aren't capable of providing themselves because the entire country's income is dedicated to lining the resident dictator's pockets.
- zwei, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14I bet the little red button on "the bomb" is powered by glow-stick juice.
- Hellaphunt, on 10/12/2007, -3/+14No! Not until they drop the N-Bomb... not funny.
- dswinscoe, on 10/12/2007, -12/+22it's called "deterrence" fellas ... what short memories we all have, eh? Or are we just unable to see the arsenal for the nuclear missiles? How about the "Axis of Evil" threat-laced diplomacy coupled with parallel US development of new and improved bunker busting tactical nuclear weapons in violation of the NNPT, and the release of DOD preemptive strike plans? Anything ring a bell?
It occurs to me, that the Soviet Union used exactly the same PR tactics to help drive its MAD stockpiling of deterrent force. And now, the US, et. al., sanctimoniously, and hypocritically, declares their admonishment of NKs advancement to the nuclear deterrent club, while continuing to bully and draw lines in the sand until NK finally explodes an H-Bomb to prove their newly found power, and the US, et. al., can finally take anti-deterrence, deterrence action, and just "clean that mess up."
Infantile megalomaniacs with delusions of grandeur are peddling the anti-NK koolaid and it looks like everyone here got there's for breakfast this morning. Dictators here, and dictators there, these are grave games our administration is playing with a country that they seem to have forgotten is not Iran or Iraq. These guys DO have WMDs and they're playing a fatal game the US started 61 years ago that continues to proliferate unabated. Who do you think will blink first? - ViperDaimao, on 10/12/2007, -13/+23Good, let them keep testing. Every "test" is one less bomb that they have.
Of course I'm still not convinced the first test was actually an atomic bomb. It was estimated to be less than a kiloton. I think our first bomb test in the 40s was 10-20 kilotons. Of course it could have just been a small, strategic atomic bomb. If he is going to test an H-bomb, it will have to be a big explosion, or then it's a dud or a fake. - arkitect, on 10/12/2007, -4/+15Yeah the 4th largest army.
The majority of which is starving and using 50 year old weapons that may or may not work. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+13IT'S A TRAP
- venom8599, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12Yes, he's completely insane. Blaze NYC and Tokyo... riiiiiiiiight. And a scant 15 minutes later, P'yŏngyang will be a smoldering radioactive crater.
- m0nk, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11Ok, that image is just really sad.
- ABadInAlbany, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12North Korea doesn't HAVE any allies, strictly speaking. Just trade partners, at best.
- ricree, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11@zediker
H Bomb presumably stands for hydrogen based fusion bomb, rather than a fission only device. - SPThom, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9I say we do what we should've done to Japan. *Rather* than detonating in a location that'd give us a lot of civilian casualties, let's just take one of our show-stoppers and detonate it off the coast or up the road from Pyong-Yang, then tell 'em, "Ok, call us when you get one of *these* working." Or better yet, not.
- Popdmb, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10Kim Jong-il really needs to go away. There's actually important news going on and he's taking away from it. He's like the fat ***** fifth grader who got a new toy and screams "LOOK WHAT I GOT!!!11!" and thumping his chest.
You will never be respected by trumpeting your pride. It gives me a headache when world leaders (including Bush) do this. - buttsmell, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10The funny thing is the creators of South Park and their 4 star acclaimed movie 'Team America' predicted this very thing.
- gmerin, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10let them detonate anything they want. if it doesn't bother China and Russia, BFD! apparently it's just not that important to anyone other than the newsmedia as so far the most severe economic sanctions the UN can agree upon, are to restrict the flow of inferior, but expensive French wines into N.K.
- ahawks, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11Yes, they are just whiny little ***** trying to get noticed...
Who happen to have nuclear weapons. I don't really like that combo. - ViperDaimao, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Whether the war would be quick or not, the problem would be the collapse and chaos the fall would bring. Millions of refugees. Can't go south because of the walls and minefields, so all that leaves is north to china and russia. Neither of those countries want that problem.
- LightninJoe, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9Just to clear things up a little.
Atom bomb could be used to describe either a standard nuclear weapon or a thermonuclear weapon.
A standard non-thermonuclear atomic weapon can use either HE Uranium or Plutonium. The "Fat Man" weapon used at Nagasaki was a plutonium weapon that used the shaped charge principal to insert the plutonium mass into criticality. This is much more complex than the "gun" style of insertion used by the "Little Boy" weapon on Hiroshima. This weapon used a gun barrel to shoot a sub-critical mass of HE Uranium into a toroidal non-critical mass of HE Uranium. This is very inefficient as the insertion time is very slow and there is a chance of pre-ignition but it was almost guaranteed to work and so it was not tested, as the "Fat Man" prototype was at Alamogordo.
A thermonuclear device uses a standard plutonium device as above to trigger fusion reactions of isotopes such as Li-6 and H-3. The key discovery when developing this device is that temperature = pressure. Teller wasn't sure they would be able to "heat" the hydrogen isotopes enough to start the reaction. But as they went along they discovered that the immense pressure the trigger could put on the secondary would do the job just fine. Modern US and Russian weapons can actually be 3-stage devices. - tuna1, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9"um, with what army?"
We have only 200,000 of our 1.4 million active duty and 1.2 million reserve troops deployed. Not to mention South Koreas 700,000 active duty and 4.5 million reserve troops who would undoubtedly take the forefront in a potential military conflict. - Ascus, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9Last one was a dud, Iam sure that one did a lot to help Kim's manhood. SO he has to promise a bigger one next time/ Maybe we will hear this one?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Lets invade. Where do I sign up?
- nightsweat, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7And by "H" Bomb they mean a helium bomb which doesn't really cause all that much damage, but makes everyone in a ten mile radius talk in a high-pitched squeaky voice for five minutes.
- Koosebane, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8Oh noes!
Both New York City and Tokyo will be BRAZED! - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8Wrong race. Koreans are: kekekeke.
- yonis, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7*****, Kim. You've got us by the balls now. Okay, we surrender. Here is money for your amazing "Democratic People's Republic" which features "indigenous wisdom and technology 100 percent" to help you build your "great, prosperous, powerful socialist nation."
Please don't H-bomb us now. Pretty please?
That just seems like the response they're expecting from these death threats. - mutatron, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7An H-bomb is much more complex than an A-bomb. You have to have a pretty efficient plutonium a-bomb to start with. This is encased in a uranium reflector. The reflector focuses photons from the a-bomb onto a cone of lithium hydride. Hydrogen in this cone fuses under the photonic compression, releasing enormous amounts of energy.
The timing and proportions of all these pieces have to be pretty much perfectly aligned for all this to work correctly. Kim Jong Il doesn't have an h-bomb. - brufleth, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8Exactly. Despite what many American's think, the US is not the rest of the world's nanny. China, South Korea, Japan, Russia, etc are the ones who should take a stand on this. If they aren't concerned then just ignore it.
- xtmno3, on 10/12/2007, -11/+16From the article:
Kim blamed the United States and others who question the authenticity of Monday’s test for suspicions about whether the North actually possesses nuclear weapons. ``The United States, which initiated a war in Iraq on groundless claims of weapons of mass destruction, is raising absurd suspicions over the North’s nuclear tests,’’ he said.
Also:
``If the Bush administration makes more provocations, both New York City and Tokyo will be blazed,’’ Kim said. He added the North is targeting the United States but does not want to wage a war against the South as long as Seoul takes a neutral position.
But why doesn't he blame Clinton? - VolatileWhimsy, on 10/12/2007, -4/+9The moron is starving his country and thinks we are going to pay him once again with food and money to act good...
Meh they said they had detonated an a bomb.. no proof as of yet that has even happened...
The guy is on the same level as the president of Venezuela -
