North Korea claims it has hydrogen bomb.

(CNN) - North Korea has added the hydrogen bomb to its arsenal, state media said Thursday, a development that, if true, would represent a major leap in its nuclear weapons capabilities.

Analysts in recent years have believed that North Korea may have been working toward -- but didn't yet have the capability to produce -- a hydrogen, or thermonuclear, bomb. It can be hundreds of times more powerful than an atomic bomb.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un made the claim, according to state media outlet KCNA, while touring a historic weapons industry site in the reclusive communist country.

Way to go, little Kim!

They can catapult it to Seoul, though.

These idiots are really teetering themselves on the edge of nuclear annihilation. I project the intention of seeing them fail every step of the way, for the sake of the whole planet.

Imagine them trying to launch that and it just falls right back on top of them.

I could see it happening.

Lmfao.

"If you merely wish to bury bombs, ther's no limit to the size."

Yeah, let's see them try to get one off the ground.

I think it's more likely they accidentaly set it off themselves rather then get it airborne, if they even have a hydrogen bomb

lol k

someone resurrect Douglas MacArthur, we need another Korean War and this time, no stopping at the 34th Parallel, no stalemate, and we're going all the way to China.

USA didn't stop at the 34th Parallel, though. They were pushed back to there after almost reaching China.

Why do I have the image of Wile E. Coyote with a drum of TNT in my head after reading this?

I would be on guard for covert Iran-North Korea technology exchanges. Seems like a given to me.

That or Pakistan.

It's useless if they never use it. Might as well use it now while the whole world has its governments turn their backs against the people.

I don't believe them.

Must be a chemistry classroom experiment.

I believe it when I see it.. oh wait, no.

Launch it.

I fucking dare you.

If they do, South Korea would wipe that third world country off the planet and leave a smoking crater.

Great, use it. Your dictatorship will end within seconds of the bomb being launched, but go for it. Not even China will try to save you at that point.

@drunk_pi:

Truth is...the Korean conflict / war has never ended.

Part of me, a very small part, almost wants them to use it, just so we can all join together in retaliation, a lovely international team-building exercise of gang-raping North Korea to death.

Here we go again. Why is everybody so keen to pour scorn and ridicule on a nation that has endured greater atrocity at the hands of the United States of America than virtually any other nation on Earth?

Are people really unaware of the extent of the genocidal brutality that America ("**** Yeah") inflicted on North Korea? Or are some instances of attempted genocide just inherently funny? If so, can we perhaps have a few Auschwitz/Holocaust joke topics to run alongside the North-Korea-bashing ones?

S. Brian Willson:

The [Korean] War destroyed by bombing most cities and villages in Korea north of the 38th Parallel, and many south of it, while killing four million Koreans – three million (one-third) of the north's residents and one million of those living in the south, in addition to killing one million Chinese. This was a staggering international crime still unrecognized that killed five million people and permanently separated 10 million Korean families.

.

Bragging about the massacre, USAF Strategic Air Command head General Curtis LeMay, who blanket-bombed Japan in World War II and later ran for vice president with segregationist George Wallace, summed it up well: Over a period of three years or so we killed off - what - twenty percent of the population.

One more person at the wall

@Stesilaus: out of mild curiosity, i present to you a small and simple game

nazi germany = scores a 5 out of 10 on the hypothetical evil chart, 10 representing ultimate evil

now, knowing how the nazis placed, where would you place U.S.A on the evil chart

below nazi germany, or above?

on topic: "North Korean leader Kim Jong Un made the claim"

he's about as credible as baghdad bob so i'm gonna take this info with a grain of salt

Some of these responses, they're gold :3

I don't believe them either, but even if they had one, so what...? Simple game theory, they'd never dare use it for anything.

They must need food aid again.

World domination is going to get us all killed

without China, this country would pretty much disappear. its all in China's hands really. they cut them off from food and supplies, and they'll behave themselves.

They can't even use this weapon against South Korea anyways, the radiation would kill them in north korea... painfully and slowly... i'd rather have the instant death you would get at ground zero in south korea.

7, at least; maybe 8

Denmark gets a 10.

:-P

Ok

@Stesilaus: ouch! ^,^

Bad site and america hate, please ban this guy.

The outcome of the Korean war is a product of the United Nations, solve nothing.

Trouble is, China is still an obstacle to go through, despite Jong-un screwing Chinese-North Korean relations up badly.

NK claims a lot of things and it only shows their weakness in leadership to have to lie to the world.

North Korea presumably claims that Kim Jung Un assembled it blindfolded while winning 10 chess matches at the same time.

lololol

All I can think about is the scene from Mars Attacks. That's how effective I imagine they'll be.

OmG i was thinking the same thing as i was reading this, lmao ! But on the serious note, i sure hope they haven't created such a monster.

Breaking News: Photo of bomb leaked!!

We do. You western people alway make fun my country but no laugh when white light flash sky - Kim

We laugh with you, not at you.

Most experts say very unlikely at this point.
