North Korea has successfully produced a miniaturized nuclear warhead that can fit inside its missiles, crossing a key threshold on the path to becoming a full-fledged nuclear power, U.S. intelligence officials have concluded in a confidential assessment.

A “confidential” assessment?

Our satellites should know the exact location of their nuclear weapons grade production facilities. If you look at the size and scope of the infrastructure that was required to make just the first 2 US atom bombs, and then the continued expansion of that production from 1944 to 2000, these facilities are enormous.

Some it may be in caves but not all of it is or can be. The initial development and site work might not have been detected, but once they got to building and mobilizing in the mass earthwork equipment and building cranes it should have become quite obvious.

Sad the Fat Kid is nuts and is foolish enough to launch them against the US or Japan

Yeah, but we probably aren't using this sort of information because I think that it would probably fall in the area of profiling and you know that can't be allowed.../s

NK will have to test arming and safing and re-entry accuracy.

North Korea's “Fat Boy” had better be careful, the U.S. has and has already USED a nuclear weapon with the same name. No Korea needs to talk with Japan before they go too far.

“North Korea has successfully produced a miniaturized nuclear warhead that can fit inside its missiles”

Pro war propaganda . Just a few weeks ago the Pentagon was telling us that the Norks so-called ICBMs were prototypes and that that’d be a few years before they could produce miniaturized warheads . Now they have 60 ? Were they fooled or are they lying now . All the US news networks are pushing this what I consider to ne BS inc. Fox and Hannity .

Either Russia or China is helping. Maybe the Pakistani’s.
