Obama and Biden are little bitches!!!! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Korea_and_weapons_of_mass_destruction Aftermath of 2006 nuclear test On January 6, 2007, the North Korean government further confirmed that it had nuclear weapons.[30] In February 2007, following the six-party talks disarmament process, Pyongyang agreed to shut down its main nuclear reactor.[66] On October 8, 2008, IAEA inspectors were forbidden by the North Korean government to conduct further inspections of the site.[67] 2009 See also: 2009 North Korean nuclear test On April 25, 2009, the North Korean government announced the country's nuclear facilities had been reactivated,[68] and that spent fuel reprocessing for arms-grade plutonium has been restored.[69] On May 25, 2009, North Korea conducted its second underground nuclear test. The U.S. Geological Survey calculated its origin in proximity of the site of the first nuclear test. The test was more powerful than the previous test, estimated at 2 to 7 kilotons.[33] The same day, a successful short range missile test was also conducted.[64][70] 2010 In May 2010, the North Korean government claimed to have successfully performed nuclear fusion.[71] Although the claim was largely dismissed at the time, a 2012 analysis of radioisotopes[72] suggested that North Korea may have performed two nuclear tests involving fusion.[73] The paper was met with skepticism,[74][75] as subsequent analysis of seismic data suggested no tests took place.[76] In 2014, a study using seismic data found evidence for nuclear testing[77] but a 2016 study once again dismissed claims of nuclear testing, suggesting that the seismic data was indicative of a minor earthquake.[78][79] 2013[edit] See also: 2013 North Korean nuclear test North Korea's ballistic missile On February 12, monitors in Asia picked up unusual seismic activity at a North Korean facility at 11:57 (02:57 GMT), later determined to be an artificial quake with an initial magnitude 4.9 (later revised to 5.1).[80][81] The Korean Central News Agency subsequently said that the country had detonated a miniaturized nuclear device with "greater explosive force" in an underground test.[82] According to the Korea Institute of Geosciences and Mineral Resources, the estimated yield was 7.7–7.8 kilotons.[83] Other researchers estimate the yield to have been 12.2 ± 3.8 kilotons.[84] December 2015 hydrogen bomb claim[edit] In December 2015, Kim Jong-un suggested that the country had the capacity to launch a hydrogen bomb, a device of considerably more power than conventional atomic bombs used in previous tests.[85] The remark was met with skepticism from the White House and from South Korean officials.[86] 2016[edit] First claimed North Korean hydrogen bomb test[edit] See also: January 2016 North Korean nuclear test On January 6, after reports of a magnitude 5.1 earthquake originating in northeast North Korea at 10:00:01 UTC+08:30, the country's regime released statements that it had successfully tested a hydrogen bomb. Whether this was in fact a hydrogen bomb has yet to be proven.[46] Experts have cast doubt on this claim.[87] A South Korean spy expert suggested that it may have been an atomic bomb and not a hydrogen bomb.[46] Experts in several countries, including South Korea have expressed doubts about the claimed technology because of the relatively small size of the explosion. Senior Defense Analyst Bruce W. Bennett of research organization RAND told the BBC that "Kim Jong-un is either lying, saying they did a hydrogen test when they didn't, they just used a little bit more efficient fission weapon – or the hydrogen part of the test really didn't work very well or the fission part didn't work very well."[88] Aftermath of claimed North Korean hydrogen bomb test[edit] Kim Jong-un, with what North Korea claims is a miniaturized silver spherical nuclear bomb, at a missile factory in early 2016. On March 9, 2016, North Korea released a video of Kim Jong Un visiting a missile factory.[89] The international community was skeptical, IHS Jane's Karl Dewey said that "It is possible that the silver sphere is a simple atomic bomb. But it is not a hydrogen bomb." Furthermore, he said "a hydrogen bomb would not only be in two parts but also be a different shape".[90] Nations across the world, as well as NATO and the UN, spoke out against the tests as destabilizing, as a danger to international security and as a breach of UN Security Council resolutions.[91] China, one of North Korea's allies, also denounced the test.[92] First nuclear warhead test explosion[edit] See also: September 2016 North Korean nuclear test On September 9, 2016, a 5.3 seismic tremor was detected by seismograms in surrounding countries, after which North Korea confirmed it conducted another nuclear test.[93] North Korea stated that this test has enabled them to confirm that its warhead can be mounted to a missile and to verify the warhead's power.[94] It was previously doubted that North Korea could pair the nuclear warhead and missile together, but South Korean experts started to believe that North Korea can accomplish this goal within a few years[failed verification] after the September 9 nuclear test.[94] 2017[edit] See also: 2017–18 North Korea crisis, 2017 North Korean nuclear test, and 2017 in North Korea On February 18, 2017, China announced that it was suspending all imports of coal from North Korea as part of its effort to enact United Nations Security Council sanctions aimed at stopping the country's nuclear weapons and ballistic-missile program.[95] On March 6, 2017, North Korea launched four ballistic missiles from the Tongchang-ri region towards the Sea of Japan. The launch was condemned by the United Nations as well as South Korea.[96] The move prompted US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to embark on a diplomatic mission ten days later to Japan, South Korea and China, in an effort to address the heightened international tension in the region.[97] On April 13, 2017, White House representative Nick Rivero was quoted saying the United States was "very close" to engaging in some sort of retaliation towards North Korea.[citation needed] President Trump commented on North Korea by saying they will fight the war on terrorism no matter the cost.[98] On April 15, 2017, at the yearly major public holiday also known in the country as the Day of the Sun, North Korea staged a massive military parade to commemorate the 105th birth anniversary of Kim Il-sung, the country's founder and grandfather of current leader, Kim Jong-un. The parade took place amid hot speculation in the United States, Japan, and South Korea that the country would also potentially test a sixth nuclear device,[99] but failed to do so.[100][101][102][103] The parade did publicly display, for the first time, two new intercontinental ballistic missile-sized canisters as well as submarine-launched ballistic missiles and a land-based version of the same.[104][105][106] On April 16, 2017, hours after the military parade in Pyongyang, North Korea attempted to launch a ballistic missile from a site near the port of Sinpo, on the country's east coast. The missile exploded seconds after launch.[107][108] Later that month, after a visit to Washington by the top Chinese leader, the US State Department announced that North Korea was likely to face economic sanctions from China if it conducted any further tests.[109] On April 28, 2017, North Korea launched an unidentified ballistic missile over Pukchang airfield, in North Korean territory. It blew up shortly after take-off at an altitude of approximately 70 km (44 mi).[110] On July 4, 2017, North Korea launched Hwasong-14 from Banghyon airfield, near Kusong, in a lofted trajectory it claims lasted 39 minutes for 930 km (578 mi), landing in the waters of the Japanese exclusive economic zone. US Pacific Command said the missile was aloft for 37 minutes, meaning that in a standard trajectory it could have reached all of Alaska, a distance of 6,690 km (4,160 mi).[111][112][113] By targeting the deep waters in the Sea of Japan, North Korea was ensuring that American or Japanese divers would encounter difficulties when attempting to recover Hwasong-14's engine.[114] Equally, North Korea was not attempting to recover any re-entry debris either, which South Korea pointed out is an indication that this first launch was of an ICBM which was far from ready for combat.[115] As of July 2017, the U.S. estimated that North Korea would have a reliable nuclear-capable intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) by early 2018. On July 28, North Korea launched a second, apparently more advanced, ICBM, with altitude around 3,700 km (2,300 mi), that traveled 1,000 km (620 mi) down range; analysts estimated that it was capable of reaching the continental United States.[54] Aerospace engineer and weapons analyst Dr. John Schilling estimates the current accuracy of the North's Hwasong-14 as poor, at the mooted ranges which threaten US cities.[116][117] Michael Elleman points out that July 28, 2017 missile re-entry vehicle broke up on re-entry; further testing would be required.[118][119][120] On August 8, 2017 The Washington Post reported that the Defense Intelligence Agency, in a confidential assessment, stated that North Korea has sufficiently miniaturized a nuclear warhead to fit inside one of its long-range missiles.[121] On August 12 The Diplomat reported that the Central Intelligence Agency, in a confidential assessment from early August, has concluded that the reentry vehicle in the July 28 test of Hwasong-14 did not survive atmospheric reentry due to apogee of 3,700 kilometers which caused structural stresses in excess of what an ICBM would have had in minimum energy trajectory. The CIA also concluded that North Korean reentry vehicle is likely advanced enough that it would likely survive reentry under normal minimum energy trajectory.[122] On September 3, 2017, North Korea claimed to have successfully tested a thermonuclear bomb, also known as a hydrogen bomb. Corresponding seismic activity similar to an earthquake of magnitude 6.3 was reported by the USGS, making the blast around 10 times more powerful than previous detonations by the country.[123] Later the bomb yield was estimated to be 250 kilotons, based on further study of the seismic data.[124] The test was reported to be "a perfect success" by North Korean authorities.[125] Jane's Information Group estimates the explosive payload of the North Korean thermonuclear/hydrogen Teller-Ulam type bomb to weigh between 255 and 360 kilograms (562 and 794 lb).[126] On November 20, 2017, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that North Korea was re-listed by the State Department as a state sponsor of terrorism.[127][128] Japan and South Korea welcomed the move as a method of increasing pressure on North Korea to negotiate about denuclearization.[129] On November 28, 2017, North Korea fired an intercontinental ballistic missile in the first such launch from the country in more than two months. The missile, believed by the U.S. Military to be an ICBM, was launched from Sain Ni and flew roughly 1,000 km (620 mi) before landing in the Sea of Japan.[130] After North Korea claimed that the missile was capable of "carrying [a] super-heavy [nuclear] warhead and hitting the whole mainland of the U.S.", Kim-Jong-Un announced that they had "finally realized the great historic cause of completing the state nuclear force",[131] putting them in a position of strength to push the United States into talks.[132]
North Korea had no nuclear weapons in 2001 when Clinton left office.After Bush invaded Iraq NK went into full scale production determined not to let Iraq happen to them,they also knew with a full scale war in Iraq that it was very unlikely Bush would focus on them.In Oct 2006 NK detonated their first nuke.Bush had 5 fucking years to stop them.
...Also, Obama and Biden had 8 fucking years to stop them. Thanks Obama and Biden! It looks like we are in agreement that Trump inherited completely failed foreign policy from at a minimum Bush, Obama and Biden.
Unlike Bush,they already had nukes when Obama came into office.If they didnt he would have stopped them just like he stopped Iran until Trump fucked it up.
