North Korea Threatens Hydrogen Bomb Attack on Manhattan
Breitbart National Security ^ | 3/14/16 | Frances Martel

Posted on 03/14/2016 3:00:17 PM PDT by markomalley

In a state-controlled outlet, the North Korean government threatened Sunday to use its new alleged hydrogen bomb technology to reduce Manhattan, New York, to rubble, warning that its nuclear weapon “is much bigger” than Soviet weaponry.

The Washington Post has translated parts of the article in DPRK Today, a publication rarely used for the purpose of military bluster. When North Korean officials seek to announce military developments or threaten other countries, it usually turns to the state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) or the Rodong Sinmun, the state newspaper. Both outlets have online English versions, making them more accessible to international media.

The DPRK Today article–run with the byline Cho Hyong Il, allegedly a North Korean nuclear scientist–warns, “Our hydrogen bomb is much bigger than the one developed by the Soviet Union.” It muses, “If this H-bomb were to be mounted on an intercontinental ballistic missile and fall on Manhattan in New York City, all the people there would be killed immediately and the city would burn down to ashes.”

Even the Soviets never put Tsar Bomba on a missile. They barely managed to stuff it into a specially modified TU-95. Fatso Kim is really, really advanced ... I'm sure he built the thing himself, with his own hands, in his garage!

Can’t he make that Washington DC instead? Not that I’d support such a thing but lots of them I’d not miss if that happened.

If the Norks had said Washington D.C. instead of Manhattan, I have to wonder what the reaction would be?

That is how they did it in the book Radiant Angel by the great Nelson DeMille in his newest novel. No worries, I have not given plot details away!

Cruz wants America destroyed to only slower.


Why don't you take your character assassination to DU you where it belongs. This isn't even a Trump or a Cruz thread.

Manhattan? We have H-bombs that would make their Manhattan busters look like firecrackers. I guess 7 years of Zer0 has put no fear in them.

Cruz wants America destroyed to (sic) only slower.

Did you get lost on the Internet and make a right turn at Democrat Underground? Apparently you have lost your way if not your mind.

"North Korea Threatens Hydrogen Bomb Attack on Manhattan"

I'm surprised they haven't had a serious nuclear accident by now.

Keep in mind these are the same people who fervently believe they single-handedly won the Korean war - no Chinese involved ...

Ray76 :" We need a Pyongyang Airlift. Drop tons and tons of food to these people.
And liquidate Kim Jong-un and the other psycopaths."

For every 10 crates dropped , there will be 5 crates of guns and munitions
And each crate of food comes with several hundred flyers that say :" There's more food where that came from ".

“Cruz wants America destroyed to only slower”

The word is spelled “too”, not “to”.
How much are the democrats paying for your destruction of the English language?
