The North Korean nuclear bomb likely fissioned about 1/2 of 1% of the plutonium due to poor design of the conventional explosives used to create the implosion. Message 22897163 Message 22896326 I think this explains everything we need to know about North Korea. "Kim [Jong-il] was [is] an alcoholic who went on three-day drinking binges." theaustralian.news.com.au Alcoholics can't manage their own life, let alone a nation. Yet some nations even freely elect alcoholics to be their leader. Why? The problem is that, even after they're sober, alcoholics still have the personality and character defects of an alcoholic. Becoming sober is only part of the battle. This manifests itself in a rigid one-dimensional world view where there are no subtleties - everything is black or white, right or wrong. Its difficult to see anything from a perspective other than their own. Their behaviour is self-centered, grandiose, dishonest, short-tempered and belligerent. They frequently lie, even about things which don't matter - and even when telling the truth would be more beneficial. If you have two alcoholics who have been sober for 20 years, one who diligently worked on their character defects and the other who merely stayed sober, the difference is immediately obvious. . . But even the sober alcoholic who has worked hard to change their character, will can still frequently revert to the behaviour of a belligerent drunk when they are under pressure. The bizarre Kim Jung-il of North Korea is a perfect example of an alcoholic. People wonder what his master strategy is . . . he doesn't have one. He's just an alcoholic acting out. I'm sure he has no exit strategy for his nuclear gambit, nor any coherent plan for preventing the collapse of his nation, other than "no one is going to tell me what to do." .
