So do they actually have miniaturization down, or is the media

Wtf I trust the media now.

why does /pol/ distrust the MSM but believes what they say about north korea?

>>136824148

Because the MSM and Obama Administration knew of Norko capabilities, but didn't want confrontation, so they buried it and pretended nothing was wrong...China assures us.

Now they see Norko sitch as a thorn that can be pressed. Any confrontation is bad news and makes Trump look bad. So they are drudging up factual stuff they know and pushing a narrative of fear mongering and confrontation.

The problem is even if you ignore the shit coming out of the narrative, Trump has to bomb North Korea back to the Stone Age if he wants a satisfactory resolution of the problem.

Without that you will always have a rogue state that will do its own provocative things including attacking its neighbours.

No diplomatic solution is acceptable to everyone but total nuclear disarmament by North Korea otherwise all its neighbours will have to constantly bear the risk of a rogue nuclear attack.

They probably have it for their fission weapons but not for fusion

whats this mean?

>>136825972
There are two main designs of nuclear weapons, ignoring the science behind them the differences are:

Fission
>basic design
>low yield(Still high compared to conventional weapons)
>Type used against Hiroshima & Nagasaki
>Obsolete(US stopped making them in the 50s)

North Korea has produced fission bombs and tested them several times

Fusion(Also called thermonuclear)
>Complex design
>High yield

NK claimed their most recent nuclear test was a low-yield fusion device however this hasn't been definitively confirmed

Does it matter? One direct hit on Seoul and its Hiroshima all over again. Unless you're ok with that then something has to be done. Nothing short of disarmament is adequate at this point.

a tactical nuke?

MSM is being retarded.

A small nuke is a tactical nuke. There are neutron bombs that kill via radiation.

The H-bomb is a regular nuke with a hydrogen boost.

A tactical nuke is a tactical nuke. Not much to say about that.

A nuke is a nuke.

Do you really have to ask?

The media is spouting the same bullshit they always have. Except this time, because Trump is not taking any of Kimmy's shit, they are pushing the narrative that Trump is starting WWIII when it is actually the fucking opposite and how it's always been with NK.

If Obama were the one calling NK out, the fucking media would start saying that NK isn't capable of doing shit(the truth).

USA attack NK: Bad imperialism
USA doesn't attack NK: America is weak
USA wait that NK attack first: Why you sacrificed you citizen?

You can't win, the west its too much "complex" to deal with anything.

The media would love to say NK is one step above flinging rocks

It they are telling you they have nukes- .. wait a minute, I think I've heard this before

>>136827161
>NK claimed their most recent nuclear test was a low-yield fusion device however this hasn't been definitively confirmed

IF (and that's a big if) true, that would mean they made a working tamper-reflector design and can produce enough deuterium/tritium for megaton+ devices, wouldn't it?

So whos the Judith Miller this time round?

For once I wouldn't mind the US putting the fear of god back into the fucking norks if only to shut them up about how great they are.

Then again if there is nothing to it the US should just withdraw altogether since they're that powerless anyway.
