Jack Kim & Ju-min Park, Reuters: Possible two-stage hydrogen bomb seen 'game changer' for North Korea
SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea’s claim of a successful hydrogen bomb test marks a major step in the isolated country’s long-stated goal of developing a nuclear-tipped missile that puts the U.S. mainland within range, experts say.
North Korea conducted its sixth and most powerful nuclear test on Sunday, which it said was a successful detonation of an advanced hydrogen bomb, technically known as a two-stage thermonuclear device.
All of North Korea’s six nuclear tests including the one on Sunday have taken place at its underground testing site in Punggye-ri, deep in mountainous terrain, and it is hard to independently verify the claims.

Time is running out with North Korea. A military action is now or never. As everyone I don't like war, but with NK we shall have one liking it or not. More we give time to NK worse the war will be. The goal of NK is not as "regime saving" as many say, but to reunify Korea under Kim dynasty way. When NK will have enough weapon he will ask America to leave its troops out of SK....and we shall do as we did with tactical nuclear weapons under G.W.Bush. It will be easy to take over a South Korea which has no nuke. What America will do? We have a treaty and we have to defend our allied and...we will be at war in a very bad condition, and all the lives we wanted to save for not taking military action now will be worse.
In 1938, at Munich, we make "appeasement" with Hitler for saving 2 or 3 millions people with a war. Bottom line: we had 50 millions, at least.
