I don't know, while you don't get the torture, becoming a prisoner in the US looks like a life changing event that can't be recovered from.

and starving to death in a N Korea concentration camp ISNT a life changing event?

As flawed as the US criminal system is i would still rather take my chances there than in N Korea.

Particularily given the novelty value European appearance would have in a North Korean prison.

It is, a bit. Least you're outdoors though.

Get the feelings it wasn't a hydrogen bomb all but still worrying to a degree

I think there's a swear word in Korean that starts with H and that's what Kim dropped.

Can someone please link me to a good documentary about nuclear weapons? I searched for 'threads' as recommended here but I'm only finding clips of it.
thanks!

Threads is an unpleasant but interesting watch. It isnt a documentary though.

Well in that country if you didn't I'd imagine you'd jump long before you were pushed. While a lot of the stories that come out aren't true or reliable, its still a bizarre weirdo Stalinist hell hole.

Yeah, it's a weird one. The N. Korean regime lies to the N. Koreans and everyone else but there's not a shred of evidence for the most bizarre stories that come out of there. The primary source for your man playing the best golf game ever, feeding his uncle to a pack of dogs, having his ex girlfriend killed and using heavy artillery for an execution are all the same S. Korean right wing paper.

Yes. That's right. I'm sorry.

It's hard to know what's going on in there seeing as our own media is also propagandised although you'd think they'd be gloating over NK's apparent booming (relatively) private economy.

The official media is of course completely wrong: The country is now a largely dominated by a large class of entrepreneurs and their market place. Its policy may be Stalinist, but its economy is clearly not.

North Korea is like a stupid yet dangerous dog. Instead of wagging its tail when looking for attention, it growls, but one of these days it's going to bare too many teeth and some poor eejit (China probably, it was their pet to start with) is going to have to put it down.

Obama also has weapons of mass destruction and he crying about climate change :rolleyes: If they ever let off one of them climate change will be the least of our worries.

The idea of a nuclear war is scary. For anyone that fully doesn't realise it I suggest they watch the 80's documentary called "Threads". It is the most scariest horror show you'll ever see despite not being an actual horror movie.

They had a book out in the 60's about what precautions to take if a nuclear bomb goes off, bend down put your head between your legs and close your eyes or as my brother said bend down put your head between your legs and kiss your arse goodbye

I found the book in my neighbours/cousins house, I read cover to cover crazy stuff.

The best documentary in terms of history of nuclear weapons is Trinity and Beyond.
I'm sure it's available somewhere online.

It's difficult to say how much damage was done to the world by all these atmospheric nuclear tests, but bear in mind the world didn't end.
The Soviet union exploded a 50 megaton weapon over Novaya Zemlya in 1961. That is by far the largest explosion ever, but it was acknowledged by the USSR at the time that such a weapon was militarily useless and none were ever even deployed.Most of the blast radiated out into the atmosphere anyway.
Nuclear war would be very unpleasant for all concerned, but I think that The End Of The World As We Know It will more likely be an economic collapse, or a biological event like a superflu or other plague.

North Korea is water tight. The intelligence outside of it is pretty much non-existent. Apparently after Kim Jong-il kicked the bucket. N. Korea didnt reveal it to the world for days, as they want to see whether the news would spread to South Korea and it didnt. Very little info leaves N.Korea. I doubt the NSA is much use as there is probably about 5 phone lines in the place

I'm surprised with all the intelligence, satellite etc. that South Korea didn't fore-warn of this outcome.

because satellites can see into the tunnels ?

Naughty Korea has it's own Red Star Linux OS that's actually quite secure but it watermarks all documents you save.

I seriously doubt N.Korea will build a half decent nuclear bomb. It took the US decades to make a seriously powerful one with tons of resources. N.Korea has none of that. They are literally ISIS without the internet, resources and focused on starving its own people.

It didn't take that long to make an Atomic Bomb.

There are two types of A bomb. Implosion bombs are hard to design but use plutonium which is easy to separate from the uranium it comes from.

The other type is a gun assembly. The difficult part with these is separating out the uranium. After that making the bomb is trivial.
http://nuclearweaponarchive.org/Nwfaq/Nfaq4-2.html

A weapon constructed from 40 kg of 93.5% HEU, with a 10 cm tungsten carbide reflector would produce a full yield of >10 kt. The required assembly time for a 50% chance of complete assembly is some 48 milliseconds, equal to a velocity of only 9 m/sec. This can be achieved by simply dropping the bullet 4.4 meters!

Given the low yield the bomb is either a couple of thousand tonnes of fertilizer or a boosted device. The Soviets tested a 400Ktn boosted design in 1953. Still not a true H-Bomb but more than most A-Bombs and a hundred times more than this Korean test.

Calling this a H-Bomb compared to a real H-Bomb is like comparing aftermarket nitro injection on an Yaris to using a 550bhp Jaguar Supercharged V8 to drive the pump on the 135,000bhp Bloodhound with a design speed of about 1,600Kmph
