I kid the diminutive dictator because a couple years ago he claimed to have developed a supersonic torpedo. Physicists had a good chuckle over that.

(6,171 posts)That wouldn't be beyond the capabilities of North Korea. Remember, the military is their first priority, providing food to its starving people is only a distant second.

(3,746 posts)Photographs showing a North Korean missile launched from a submarine were manipulated by state propagandists and the country may be years away from developing such technology, analysts and a top U.S. military official said on Tuesday.
North Korea, sanctioned by the United States and United Nations for its missile and nuclear tests, said on May 9 it had successfully conducted an underwater test-fire of a submarine-launched ballistic missile which, if true, would indicate progress in its pursuit of missile-equipped submarines.
On Wednesday, North Korea warned the United States not to challenge its sovereign right to boost military deterrence and boasted of its ability to miniaturize nuclear warheads, a claim it has made before and which has been widely questioned by experts and never verified.
But North Korea is still "many years" from developing submarine-launched ballistic missiles, U.S. Admiral James Winnefeld told an audience at the Centre for Strategic & International Studies in Washington on Tuesday.

They have nothing anybody wants - and their system of government and Kim-centered culture is horrid.
