North Korea says it has developed advanced hydrogen bomb ready for ICBM
Jack Kim, Soyoung Kim
SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea said on Sunday it has developed a more advanced thermonuclear weapon that possesses “great destructive power” and will be loaded on a new intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) that experts believe has the range to hit much of the United States.
The report by North Korea’s official KCNA news agency comes amid heightened regional tension following Pyongyang’s two tests of ICBM missiles in July that potentially could fly about 10,000 km (6,200 miles), putting many parts of the mainland United States within range.
Under third-generation leader Kim Jong Un, North Korea has been pursuing a nuclear device small and light enough to fit on a long-range ballistic missile, without affecting its range as well as making it capable of surviving re-entry into the Earth’s atmosphere.
North Korea “recently succeeded” in making a more advanced hydrogen bomb, the country’s official KCNA news agency said.

of course - the norks are trolling us
This is probably on the same level as their earlier ridiculous rockets which blew up on the pad or shortly thereafter.
Whether it STAYS there is another question.
He follows his dad’s long time tradition of looking at things.
He is saying,”So, this is where you freeze my head until war over?”
(I wish.)
agreed - these clowns aren’t worth the energy to take seriously. like all trolls best ignored
They’re going to hit us with beer kegs!
Break out the frosty mugs for self defense!
The device in the photos look legitimate for that type of bomb, they even included the physics package in the photo.
......And pointing at things.
Got to be a phony threat. If it was real Dictator Fat Boy would be looking a lot more happy.
N. Korea does what they claim eventually. However, she does make exaggerated claim way before it is real.
Like all socialist leaders, Kim Jong Whatever likes his booze, babes and barbecues.
Nothing turns the babes off like nuclear exchanges.
He can launch whatever he wants to launch but those girls will give him the nuclear freeze.
That’s one helluva cappuccino machine.
Making an operational hydrogen bomb is many times more difficult than an atomic bomb. I think the Norks are blowing smoke, as usual.
So, if not upon us, then upon our children or grandchildren.
Gotta be stopped, the sooner the better.

I do not dismiss this threat.... and I do not care if it just an idle threat.
#1, The construction of a thermonuclear device is not that hard once you have the plutonium and the tritium. He has demonstrated by previous explosions that he has the Pu and the 3H is easy to make. Since he has shown in the past that his boasts can come true, why not take this one at face value?
#2, If a man points a pistol at me, I am not going to ask him to prove that it is loaded. I am going to shoot him, and most probably kill him. That is the risk he took when he aimed his pistol at me. Why not take him out now, by whatever method he requires us to use to achieve success in removing him and his nuclear forces from the world stage?
The great danger here is that Kim will set one off in Mid-Pac, then say, “That was just one of the 5 I have, all aimed at you.”
Then we are truly effed from a diplomacy standpoint.
That is pretty much their end game.
Look you can see the hydrogen.. must be really real.
