And in your qualified estimation, and since we do know N.K. HAS ICBM's, what would a TINY, LITTLE, FUCKING bomb like that do to our electrical systems?North Korea doesn't have a working bomb to sell, and Pakistan has no love for Iran and would never sell them one.
Pakistan is probably going to sell nukes to Saudi Arabia, though.
If I may say BULLSHIT! We have NO WAY of knowing what N.Korea has, just as we have no IDEA what MONEY spent by Iran can buy!
Perhaps this can help you, but I doubt it, although others will understand!
Of course we do. Any time there's a nuclear explosion anywhere in the world, the US knows about it within seconds - how big its yield is, etc etc.
NK has tested 3 bombs, ever. The first test was a clear fizzle, and the second two also likely fizzles, since neither had a yield of more than 4 kilotons.
(For reference, the bomb dropped on Hiroshima was 10 kT, and the biggest bomb ever tested was 75,000 kT)
They've ALREADY tested SEVERAL, they need not TEST anymore!...Even a SMALL ONE, on one of the ICBM's would cause havoc. You apparently don't understand this, and they don't have to land to do their damage! EMP, is more of a bitch than the actual physical damage!
That's not how it works. Every time you build a new type of bomb, you have to test it - hence the reason that the US has performed thousands of nuclear tests, as opposed to NK's 3.
If you don't test it, you don't know if it works - and so far, the tests that NK has done have shown that their bombs don't work very well.
The biggest bomb that NK has built is less than half the size of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima.
North Korea does not have any ICBMs that can reach the US, but if they did, a bomb of the size they have would deal significant damage to about 30 or so blocks of Manhattan. It's yield would be too small to have a significant EMP effect, which requires much larger weapons and high-altitude rockets, neither of which North Korea possesses, or is capable of building.
