#1 Strong Measures eh?

Must mean a strongly worded letter in red ink! Oh the horrors!

#2 Still a ways to go before the "strongly worded memo".

Maybe there's a sternly worded phone call first.

Long, long way to go to get to the red-line.

#5 Squad Leader: Maniac has responded with a scornful remark.

automated assistant: Approach, and repeat ultimatum in an even firmer tone of voice. Add the words, "or else".

#6 I cannot help but wonder, where are the NKs getting their expertise from? More likely China is using NK as a test ground to further develop their own Nuclear bomb technology. A major flag is NK claiming to have hydrogen bomb technology. H bombs are extremely difficult to build and deploy

China, OTOH does have the expertise and technology, they just need a place to test them out.

Just my thoughts.

#7 May not be a hydrogen bomb, but rather a 'boosted' nuke:

According to Bhupendra Jasani, a nuclear physicist at King’s College London, instead of working on hydrogen bombs, countries like India and Pakistan are probably working on “boosted” atomic bombs.

A boosted weapon is one that packs more punch by using a higher proportion of its own nuclear fuel; although the Hiroshima bomb caused so much destruction, it used merely 1.4% of the uranium put in it. One way to do this is to put some fusion fuel at the core of an atomic bomb. This mixture of deuterium and tritium is compressed to create a fusion reaction. This produces more neutrons, which then enhance the chain reaction of the fission fuel. In other words, you use an atom bomb to set off a tiny hydrogen bomb which in turn ratchets up the atom bomb.

Jasani thinks, therefore, that North Korea’s claimed “hydrogen bomb” was really an attempt to test a boosted atomic bomb. The seismometer readings suggest that the bomb North Korea tested was in the range of what atomic bombs can yield, rather than what hydrogen bombs usually yield.

Possibly, then the NorKs are doing research on behalf of (order of likelihood) Iran, China, or Pakistan.

#8 Possibly, then the NorKs are doing research on behalf of (order of likelihood) Iran, China, or Pakistan.

So the Iranians won't even have to build their own. They can just buy it from the NORKs, especially with the money Obummer gave them, and Pudgy will be happy to pocket the profit.
