Most likely just trying to cause mass panic in the US.

But if it's legit, they just signed their own death warrant.

It isn't. Two seconds on Google would solve most of the problems in this thread.

The OP is just a twit. And so are you if you just accepted a title like that without further investigation.

Forgive me if I don't trust CNN.

And the OP needs to change the title, because I must say that the ICBM thing is not surprising with Kim Jong-Un as leader.

Now they got it to fly, yeah. But where the fuck are they going to get nuclear warheads, when they barely had money for this? Silly fearful Americans.

They do? Since when? :eek: I heard they were just bloating with some fake bombs in the courtyard. And where the hell did they get the resources and money?

Well, their first nuclear test was in 2006. Then there was another in 2009.

North Korea has been interested, and investing, in nuclear technology since ~1956 when it first approached China and the Soviet Union.

They are so cute. It's like a toddler trying to wrestle a bear, except the toddler is retarded, doesn't have any teeth, and poops way too much.

So it seems NK. did successfully launch a satellite into orbit. So it seems they beat SK. which also has been trying to launch a satellite into orbit for some time.

Meh. First blast was about 1/2 kiloton, second a little better ~6 kiloton but not to the level of the Hiroshima bomb (30-40 kt). Apparently they have the problem that is called in the trade "nuclear fizzle" where the critical mass blows itself apart faster than it assembles. If they have difficulty triggering the thing even when they assemble it at their test facility, it is unlikely they could create a warhead suitable to put on a missile, or even for delivery by bomber aircraft, or by oxcart for that matter.
