Hours after North Korea said it detonated a hydrogen bomb in a test of its nuclear weapons technology, experts are already casting doubt on the hermit nation's claim. Scientists believe that the explosion looks a lot more like a traditional atomic bomb, not a more devastating thermonuclear explosion. How can they tell? And what evidence do we have that North Korea actually set off a nuclear blast?
Russia has unveiled a new heavy ICBM with the ability to deliver a 40-50MT warhead and a 10,000km range. But while this does represent a major new design for Russia, more than anything it's a sign of Russia's interest in exerting pressure on the American electorate.
Russia exerting pressure on the American electorate?? You mean Americas aggressive push for WW3 & the fact Russia have been almost pleading with you to stop for almost a year now. I think they've done fairly well at holding off pressing that button until now.
shhh they gotta cover for $hillary's warmongering. They are working overtime since the FBI just opened up a new investigation.

So, this is a bit of a touchy question. From the beginning, even before the true destructive and killing power of The Bomb was clear to its own creators, one thing was certain: Nobody should ever acquire nuclear weapons if those who do have them can help it. That may be a hypocritical stance for current nuclear powers to take — but they’re live hypocrites, so whatever.
The idea of "sniffer planes" as a technology is interesting and one of those technologies that hasn't really been mentioned before.
That said goodness knows what North Korea will do next, it's does feel like a slow inexorable march towards them doing something REALLY stupid.
Here's my theory: They actually did set off a hydrogen bomb, but we are purposely saying they didn't just to piss them off even more.
