SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea said on Sunday it has developed a more advanced nuclear weapon that has “great destructive power” and leader Kim Jong Un inspected a hydrogen bomb that will be loaded on a new intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM).

The report by North Korea’s official KCNA news agency comes amid heightened regional tension following Pyongyang’s test launch of two ICBM-class missiles in July that potentially had a range of about 10,000 km (6,200 miles) that could hit many parts of the mainland United States.

Under its leader Kim Jong Un, North Korea has pursued work on building nuclear weapons and long-range ballistic missiles that can deliver them at an unprecedented pace, defying U.N. sanctions and international pressure.

I told Fred that waiting can often be worse.

Maybe this is now proven true.

I think they are bluffing, but I have no idea. I don't know what a hydrogen bomb should look like.

If they do have one, maybe they will go long an hit the NE corridor so sane people do not have to worry about fallout.

It is all the Beltway Turkeys with the their 'process', nuance and other garbage that got us into this mess.

If he detonated it in a test we will know, otherwise it's just a beer keg.
