Their goal isnt a miniature deliverable. They just need something that goes “boom” down in a hole. That achieves Kim’s goal of squeezing money out of the USA. We got a weak naive president in January. He figured out how to play his guy in a nanosecond.
The proper way to measure the yield of a North Korean is not in Kilotons,,,it’s more properly measured in billion’s of dollars bluffed out of the USA!!
I can’t believe that. They want regional power as well, power over Japan, a deterrence to China and Russia, major influence over S.korea, and something salable, which they THEN can blackmail billions from the USA with, much like Pakistan does.
