Is This North Korea's Nuclear Bomb?
Foxtrot Alpha ^ | 03/09/16 1245pm | Tyler Rogoway

... But now, after saying that they are deploying their nuclear warheads for quick use, and posting the image above, it may be time to reevaluate the North Koreans nuclear capabilities.

That big metallic soccer ball of doom that you see in front of the “Young General” appears to be a compact nuclear implosion device, which is a more complicated alternative than the much more cumbersome gun assembly style nuclear devices, and larger implosion devices, that were thought to have been the limit of North Korea’s technical know-how.

So, these CD-ROMs are the complete backup of Hillary's email server? Does it include the wedding emails?

Reporter:   Did Dennis Rodman-san help in the design?  This looks like a big basketball with a handle.

Kim Jong Un: Yes, we tricked the American out of his basketball secrets, but this is not a handle.  It
                       is a viewing port to see that the detonation goes properly.

Reporter: Isn't that very dangerous? 

Kim Jong Un:  Yes, but you can see, I am equipped with safety glasses.

“I’m sure if they can read your post, they know now.”

Or if they watched the WGN series “Manhattan.”

(I know; few people did, which is why that excellent show was cancelled.)

It’s a fake mockup, Freepers. No way that thing was made with the level of precision necessary to function as a nuke.

It might work as a “dirty bomb,” though, which is more than scary enough.

LOL.

Funny thing is, that thing clearly was made with more precision than the Norks’ mockup.

You know that it is a fake mockup because you are ...?

Article:
“Obviously we only have the picture to go on, but it looks as you would expect for a compact nuclear warhead,” said Jeffrey Lewis, director of the East Asia Nonproliferation Program at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies of the Middlebury Institute of International Studies (MIIS) in California.”

Since they can put satellites in orbit now. They can drop that bad boy on any city on the planet. Nice work establishment. We have ISIS deploying the chemical WMD you said did not exist in Iraq, North Korea with the capability to nuke any city on the plant, the Iranian Mullahs about to go nuclear, Islamic terrorists over running Europe, the banking system about to charge negative interest on savings, etc. etc.. Just what exactly are your accomplishments, if any ?

I’m wondering if Un didn’t steal that from a disco when he took out Dennis Rodman out on a date.

Well not yet as far as droping on any city - their long range rocket is as yet untested.

"Still, their supposedly most capable missile, the KN-08, has never been test launched to our knowledge, meaning that even with miniaturized nuclear devices, their ballistic missile threat still largely remains a regional one at best."

It’s the focus, and the “lenses” and the 0n1 reflectors around the mass ... But their idea appears right.

When will somebody point out that this IS small enough to launch by rocket, but will also fit inside a shipping container or truck body? Doesn’t need to be very efficient if it is close enough with no warning to the city nearby.

For sale to the highest bidder of Muslim money.

Oh - By the way. Why are ALL of the Nork HIGHEST ministers all wearing jackets, parkas and fur-lined hats INSIDE one of North Korea’s most classified, most important since labs for a demo with the president? Ain’t they got no heaters?

Jong-un: We have a dangerous nuclear weapon? I want to go stand next to it.
Generals: Let’s all stand next to the dangerous radioactive weapon.
Jong-Un: Can we make it colder in here too?

Even photo ops in grocery stores involve wearing heavy winter clothing. The Norks don’t have enough money to stay warm. There’s even a picture of them sitting inside a passenger jet, dressed for a blizzard.
