Speaking of which... A couple of science experiments in caves do not make for a weapon. Something that can survive the rigors of launch, brief space flight, and re-entry and still function properly.
My take - they're a threat, a serious threat, but not an imminent one. If Kim said he was shooting a nuke at me tonight, I'd still go to bed as usual and sleep well.

It was somewhat easier to sleep when adults with US military allegiances ran Washington...
Still, I have a similar disregard for the norks.
One device over Pyongyamstylestarvashistan or whatever would cool their jets for a few hundred years.
No, this is not a movie, the NORKS have been very busy for twenty years and the device the *need* to make to royally fuck us up does not have to be anywhere NEAR megaton range. They don't have to worry about re-entry, they don't have to worry much about weight, they just need to produce a heap load of gamma rays which they can do.
Our boomers will be busy and North Korea will be gone, but we will be left in the 1800's.
