North Korea claims it could wipe out Manhattan with a hydrogen bomb

SEOUL — North Korea claimed Sunday that it could wipe out Manhattan by sending a hydrogen bomb on a ballistic missile to the heart of New York City, the latest in a string of brazen threats.

Although there are many reasons to believe that Kim Jong Un’s regime is exaggerating its technical capabilities, the near-daily drumbeat of boasts and warnings from North Korea underlines its anger at efforts to thwart its ambitions.

“Our hydrogen bomb is much bigger than the one developed by the Soviet Union,” DPRK Today, a state-run outlet, reported Sunday. DPRK stands for the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, North Korea’s official name.

“If this H-bomb were to be mounted on an intercontinental ballistic missile and fall on Manhattan in New York City, all the people there would be killed immediately and the city would burn down to ashes,” the report said, citing a nuclear scientist named Cho Hyong Il.

Yes, everyone already understands that. This is the main reason why countries are trying hard to make NK become denuclearized. But, then again, the same could happen to them, so there is little that anyone can do.

I have a sister working there.

would appreciate a heads up so she can call in sick that day

As the Jews did on 9-11 !!

did North Korea really say that ::confused::

I doubt that very much.  those countries are not looking for war..are ready to fight but are doing/saying nothing to precipitate war. 

Russia, Iran, China..are trying to avoid war.  the warmongers in the world lying all the way in their media monopoly are doing their best to cause a way.  and we know why.

what they are doing by sprucing up their armaments is making sure that if war comes they will not go easily..making sure that the enemy goes too..that when they are done with him he too is toast.

that is I see it.  Korea has done and said nothing.  they are testing and improving their armaments for sure.  that is one way to keep america off their backs.  the bully likes to beat up on the helpless but hesitate with those who can and will fight back.  Russia Iran Korea and China will fight back

the war will come anyway..as long as the war party remains intact and in power in the USA.  the only development that can stop war is if the ordinary american population rises and put and end to the Jewish dominated insane american social system.

Kim Jong Un will bowl Manhattan with the wrong 'un  :-[

These verbal assaults by the North Korean President are coming thick and fast, now it has become an almost everyday affair. One has to wonder what motivates him to keep on making these threats. what he loves to is to verbally promote war but I doubt he is would be that willing to physically participate in a war especially with the United States who he loves to run his mouth against.

so you mean to tell me that nuclear wouldnt affect Canada????


we are so close.

It definitely would- the weather system is connected, so you might even get acid rain or something too, alongside the usually side effects of radiation. But, I don't even want to think about it, I think all this harping about stuff is crazy.

Hydrogen is kinda different than a Nuke.

one is fission breaking up plutonium ,

the other uses fusion in a chain reaction of thermonuclear.

Yeah. You need to use a regular nuke to get the H bomb going. Its much more dangerous and the right size of H bomb would likely cause the global temp to rise instantly if it goes off anywhere in the world.
