So apparently they might be telling some porkies about it being a H-bomb. Tut tut.
'North Koreans reacting to the news: "Developing a hydrogen bomb is inevitable"'
North Koreans confirmed for dank meme. Do they also menace with spikes of glorious workers' paradise?

The us say it's not an H bomb, others say it was too small, NK says it's 'Minaturised', and somewhere I read a theory they daisy chained a bunch of smaller bombs together like the uk did in the 50's.
Maybe they just found a second hand small MIRV warhead or suitcase nuke and let it off?

They're nearly as bad as badgers. Build a couple of anti-buzzard SAM sites marksdwarf towers and your fortress will look like Baghdad in 2003 from all the aerial bolt spam. You waste a lot of ammo and everything is covered in unslightly exploded buzzard bits and broken bolts.

What, they searched between the sofa cushions and found it, among the pennies and old gum? :P

I'd be surprised if anyone could sell a nuclear weapon without it being tracked and uncovered.

You fool. Don't you understand?

The Soviets and US misplaced quite a few nuclear weapons, some of which we still don't know about to this day. More pertinently Israel's nuclear weapons development shows how it could be tracked but not uncovered until the people holding the information felt some reason to disclose the information themselves.

they straight up admitted it.
http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/01/05/462098403/north-korea-says-it-conducted-hydrogen-bomb-test

Why wouldn't they admit it? The whole point of having just a couple of nukes is to go "don't fuck with me man, I have a nuke!"

I can't beat Kim's Nidoking. I get it down to half health, but then Kim starts testing nuclear weapons, and by the time it's down to red he's figured it out—and launched some at me. My entire team dies of radiation sickness; I have to grind another six Pokemon up to the sixties, and since my favourite Pokemon is Metapod, that's pretty hard.

So, yeah. Any tips?

Meanwhile, people in Syria are starving. They have resorted to eating grass and leaves, ever since they ran out of cats. Children that aren't too weak from hunger to move at all, gather plants in between the minefields.

I feel the thread name's rather inappropriate now.

On the subject of the siege, the Syrian government has agreed to allow UN aid into the city, but there's no timeline for when yet. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-35255012

And about the migration crisis, what really strikes me the moderate view a year or two ago was border control and limited immigration, and mass deportations and razor wire were considered to be madness. The moderate view is now rapidly moving towards mass deportations and razor wire, and mass lynching is considered to merely be madness, instead of unthinkable. This could get out of hand.

That's just on the Republican side, unless you mean Europe.

I like how the whole dang mess from Euphrates to Danube has drifted from Yurop thread to Yurop thread, middle east thread to religion thread, immigration thread to terrorist thread and even north korea/yurop thread

It's kind of depressing to see news articles titled "What is a Hydrogen Bomb?"
