[quote=@Odin] I am skeptical that they never got that working - NK is sort of known for having connections to all kinds of shady people and 'miniaturized nuke' theory has been around for, well, a while so it's possible someone told them how for a lotta money or other stuff. But again, it's possible. The lack of real knowledge on our end (you and me) makes it really hard to estimate what they do and don't know, what is a facade and what isn't, etcetera. NK has surprised us in the past before - I would not be surprised in the slightest if they had an ace up their sleeve. [/quote] Possible but they also seem to have exhausted there test site. Probbly not see new tests there. Ans yes, NK are not fools, there silly but dangerous none the less. All Kim wants to do is keep power at end of day. Maybe it can calm of he feels more stable in return for not threatening nuclear war every 5 minutes. They even dropped a barrier to talks with US potentially recently.
