North Korea has successfully produced a miniaturized nuclear warhead that can fit inside its missiles, crossing a key threshold on the path to becoming a full-fledged nuclear power, U.S. intelligence officials have concluded in a confidential assessment. The new analysis completed last month by the Defense Intelligence Agency comes on the heels of another intelligence assessment that sharply raises the official estimate for the total number of bombs in the communist country’s atomic arsenal. The U.S. calculated last month that up to 60 nuclear weapons are now controlled by North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Some independent experts believe the number of bombs is much smaller. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/north-korea-now-making-missile-ready-nuclear-weapons-us-analysts-say/2017/08/08/e14b882a-7b6b-11e7-9d08-b79f191668ed_story.html Sometimes it's okay to live in a cornfield. bcnu, Mikem It's mourning in America again.

Good thread on this over at Balloon-Juice. https://www.balloon-juice.com/2017/08/08/breaking-news-the-dprk-has-miniaturized-a-nuclear-warhead/ Cheryl's warning not to get freaked out about this is well taken. They're extrapolating a lot. Cheers, Scott. (Who has no inside information, but we know how anonymous sources can spin things...)

The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." -- Isaac Asimov
