North Korea Tests an H-bomb
Arms Control Wonk
Jeffrey was lounging at the beach with his phone off. You know what the means: NORTH KOREAN NUCLEAR TEST TIME! North Korea released images of Kim Jong Un inspecting what looked like a two-stage thermonuclear weapon and then, before analysts could pretend it was just a pinata, kablooie!
North Korea detonated its largest nuclear explosive ever, with a yield of a few hundred kilotons. Aaron and Jeffrey talk about North Korea's H-bomb and try to end on that ever elusive happy note.
