I'm not laughing about this.

30 years ago the USA and USSR produced tactical nuclear weapons in the 1 kiloton range that weighed less than 200 pounds.

I'm not willing to bet my life that Crazy Kim and the Norks are too stupid to build one today.

Hook one of those things on drone, launch from a fishing trawler, and you could knock down half the buildings in downtown Seattle, which happens to be my home.

When crazy people start threatening to kill you, I suggest paying attention.

By the way, this kid's grandfather, Kim Il-Sung, talked exactly like this in 1950.

A couple months later he pushed the entire South Korean army onto about 400 square miles in the southeastern tip of Korea.

As I recall, it took 36,500 dead Americans to push him back across the 38th parallel.

You're absolutely right, and present a workable scenario. They don't need ICBM missiles. Most shipping containers are not checked, only a tiny fraction are inspected. They could ship a nuke, and agents here would arm it. They could slip over the border from Mexico, and have a bomb ready to go in a warehouse in our cities. 12 million illegals easily got here, you think professional spies can't? If NK blows a nuke here, we won't easily be able to pin it on them until they take credit for it. I also say take them seriously.

My sister and BIL live in Seattle. And I agree.
There are ways of delivery that no one seems to be thinking about.

That could be the kind of thing he means by "diversified strike means."

I think this is a good idea as well.

Actually your scenario makes more sense. Why launch from NK? Launder the operation through a 3rd pty that can’t be traced to NK. Puts Obama is same place Bush was in with Iraq. Crazy people are not necessarily suicidal

My parents had a set of Compton’s Encyclopedias that had a picture of a nuclear warhead explosion. In the foreground were the men who detonated it.

They fired the warhead from a howitzer. That picture was from the 1960’s, or earlier.

I don’t doubt he’s got them, and at this point he’s probably going to have to use one.

I hope he does.

If Obama doesn’t respond, he’ll be through. Even the left will want him gone.

Funny - It’s evil vs mediocrity. Pretty even match, as I see it.
