North Korea greeted the weekend by stating through its KCNA news agency that it is entering a "state of war" with South Korea. This seems like much more serious news than an earlier KCNA story about using nutritious leeks in seasonal dishes, but there's reason to be skeptical that NoKo's latest declaration means anything at all.

The statement wasn't accompanied by an actual attack, which would have been the most obvious sign that North Korea was serious about this. Instead, it's just more chest-beating, this time in response to the "provocation" of the U.S. flying stealth bombers over South Korea. Most seem fairly sure that this is just more posturing from the country that loves its propaganda:

"Few believe North Korea will risk starting a full-out war," said Reuters.

Re: “They are hardly the size to be placed on a drone.”

I disagree.

25 years ago, a weapon weighing 100 pounds, that’s total weight, could deliver a 1 kiloton blast.

I agree that building these things can be very difficult.

But the basic plans are widely understood.

Send in a Seal team, nab the boy king, waterboard him for a few minutes, and he’ll issue the surrender orders to his military.

steve,

In the 1980’s we had tactical nukes in the 1 kiloton range that weighed 100 to 200 pounds.

A 10 kiloton nuke on an ICBM weighed around 1000 pounds.

I notice all the dudes standing around Fat Boy have little note pads and pens. Whats up with that? Copying down some pearl of wisdom by the what-ever-he’s called?

True enough, but the Korean nukes are more like Fat Man size.
