IF they have miniature bombs they didn’t develop them in the last year. It would take years to do so. I have been skeptical about the Blowhard’s weaponry. Almost as skeptical of anything coming out of the Intelligence Agencies.

Do you think they have progressed beyond a single stage device?

Now just a cotton pickin minit here. Let’s be fair. He didn’t know his best bud was a Weather terrorist, he didn’t know his pastor was an anti-American, anti-Israel bigot. He didn’t know the mike was on when he was assuring Putin he’d have more flexibility after the election. He’s an expert at not knowing things, and I’m sure he didn’t know that the Norks had mini-nukes until it was too late to not do anything about it.

The Obama Administration may have known about it, but Obama just heard about it on the news, just like us...

yeah boy
hiring the magic negro for the top spot sure was a great idea.
Just to rid ourselves of slave guilt we let this unAmerican a-hole do his best to deplete our security.

Of course! That technology doesn’t pop up overnight unless there was a lot of help from Russia or China....the two countries that would gain the most from a rogue NORK war with US.

They will never question anything about the kenyan mulatto usurper.

The first Halfrican President - that is his history book entry. Many white voters wanted to cleanse themselves of the original American sin. /s See how well that worked!!!

Sun Tsu says when weak appear strong, when strong appear weak. I cannot see how a prison camp can develop highly technical weaponry, makes me think of “First Circle” by Solzhenitsyn.

Having the ability to launch a rocket, even a multi-stage rocket, is far different than building nukes at all much less miniature ones.

From what I understand creating a nuclear weapon is a highly industrialized process. It required the creation of an entirely new town in Oak Ridge during WWII. Where is that complex? Underground?

The US military/industrial/intelligence complex has had a long history of exaggerating the threat from the USSR so I take everything with a pinch of salt.

The Director of National Intelligence and Obama officials subsequently tried to dismiss Lamborn’s disclosure by claiming the DIA assessment was an outlier that did not reflect the views of the rest of the U.S. Intelligence Community.

Obama officials tried to downplay the DIA assessment to prevent it from being used to force the president to employ a more assertive North Korea policy.

It was clear what Obama officials were doing in 2013. The DIA report represented inconvenient facts that threatened President Obama’s North Korea “strategic patience” policy — a policy to do nothing about North Korea and kick this problem down the road to the next president. Obama officials tried to downplay the DIA assessment to prevent it from being used to force the president to employ a more assertive North Korea policy.

The only people from whom nuclear technology is secret is us. Any country that wants to spend the money can build a nuke, remember all the suitcase nukes that Russia had all over Europe?

Obama has stated, "how come America decides who gets the nuke bomb?" Susan Rice agrees said so with the recent NYT editorial. The democrats want every country to have nukes, they don't like America and thus this is an easy way to get rid of her.

Who gave nuclear technology to China and NKorea? Who gave nuclear technology to Pakistan and now to Iran, in all cases it was a democrat president that thought it "fair" to share the technology.
