Building a nuclear weapon is one thing. Building a working trigger for it is quite another.

For all anybody knows Korea has nothing more than leftovers from the WWII Japanese atom bomb project that took place mostly in Korea.

Although they were building gigantic aircraft carrying submarines as well as jet planes to mount a direct invasion on the American mainland, they didn't succeed in building a working trigger.

That part of their program blew up at Harbin about a month before our first successful test at Alamagordo, NM.

No trigger means no bomb, and our guys are acting like they know exactly what Korea has and can't set off.

Exactly. Not something that can be assembled in a basement or cave.

Actually they have Chinese made nukes (via PAKISTAN) -- they got them from the Pakis in exchange for missile technology -- the Paks have Chinese nukes on North Korean missiles (they just repaint them and give them Islammic names)
