Sure, though it could also be a standard fat-boy type weapon that's 10 times the size and not able to be deployed at all due to it's size and weight. They also don't have the intercontinental ballistic missile, though they are probably close. I smell a ruse, though sure if they do indeed have a thermonuclear miniaturized weapon it is of great concern. Cutting their oil pipeline from China would work very quickly creating a total economic collapse and starving millions to death ceasing production on a wide scale, though in time they can turn the coal into fuel like the Germans were doing in WW2

China would have to agree to cutting pipeline.

Mr Turnbull sounded like he was planting the idea we could go to war this morning after his phone call with Mr Trump.
The USA, Japan and even South Korea have missile defense systems, I don't think Australia has, as we have never considered ourselves a nuclear target before. I cannot imagine Kim if he remains in power not showing the world he can deliver his hydrogen bomb with a missile and set it off somewhere, it is his next logical step.... And our next logical step after that is what concerns me!
Happy Prepping.

Just in case people missed this on the news North Korea tested a missile proving they have the ability to hit main land USA and or Southern parts of Australia or anywhere in between. It would be out of character for them not to prove they can actually deliver a nuclear bomb to the maximum range to prove NK is a world power and must be listened too. Sanctions against N.K. in my opinion only increase their need to prove to everyone they cannot be pushed around.
Geiger counters on ebay are currently around $100 ! This is exactly the sort of thing I prep for, while I hope it never happens. Good luck!

...... Geiger counters on ebay are currently around $100 ! This is exactly the sort of thing I prep for, while I hope it never happens. Good luck! I am not sure about getting a Geiger counter, but I've considered it and have been looking around. It seems like a waste of money to get something that would only be used in worst case scenario, and I try to mostly prep with things I think I'll use anyway or that are very cheap. Still ... if the scenario did present itself, it'd be frustrating to have not purchased it to save the $$. I'd be interested in seeing what sort of one you would consider getting. Any chance you could post a link?

I did a few hours of research looking into radiation detection equipment about two years ago. From memory this site had the cheapest reputable gear. In the end I decided against it. Cost/benefit not favorable enough for my situation. soeks.com.au/

Hi I advocate owning a geiger counter or two, as the USA is starting to worry about contaminated fish due to Fukushima. I just ordered another one to evaluate from ebay for about $40 that plugs into a smart phone. But there are some good units at around $100. The thing is if you have one you can check food etc.....If you don't own one your guessing! And should NK get pissed at Trumps threats you will be able to take action to know what sort of radiation levels your being exposed too and how effective certain places are for shelter.
Then if geiger counters are ever in demand should a SHTF event occur, they will trade at a very high price!
happy prepping.

I'm interested to hear how your phone one works too.

Has anyone bought a cheap Geiger counter and tested it to know that it works that they can link to?
Don't they need to be calibrated every 12 months or so?

My recommended Geiger on the cheaper end, under $200, that I have and it's great! GMC 300e plus - Ebay list A manual. www.gqelectronicsllc.com/gmc_300e_plus_user_guide.pdfIt does have it's limitations, it doesn't do alpha radiation which means it's not reliable for testing if food is edible [aka radiates alpha particles] with the tube it comes with, though it does do Beta, gamma [xray], your main issues from fallout and what you need to shield against. It is both sensitive and has an upward limit of 1Sv [100 rem] which is very hot, aka only very short length of exposure is relatively safe, at most an hour if you're a non-pregnant adult. I also have a 'survey meter' which is only for very high levels of radiation, such as being in fallout, the idea with them is to place one end outside the shelter and the reader inside so you can see when the radiation levels have fallen to safe enough levels. A quick mention on alpha particles, your skin stops them, so they are safe outside of you. If you swallow or breathe in material radiating alpha particles, they are not. Beta particles can be stopped fairly easily and gamma is the main issue from fallout, which is what the shielding is needed for. Lastly I don't see any geopolitical threats to Australia currently, though it has to be said NK might indeed drop/launch some nukes if they keep going the way they are, they just won't be on us due to difficulty of delivery and us being far far lower value targets.

In case you missed it Trump said yesterday while at a dinner with the top US generals that it is the calm before the storm. It has got reporters all fired up - but no details forthcoming, just the White house press secretary saying today that we need to take it extremely seriously.

The runt has some good advice. He's talking about detonating a device in the upper atmosphere above the US, causing an emp large enough to fry most of their grid. He would totally stuff the US, but not before they nuked him into oblivion. Yip with the US power grid down they would destroy each other no further action will be needed. That is what Russia and China are planning - first they are going to kill the USD. They have been buying gold like crazy and started alternate currency to trade oil etc, the release bio engineered plague - the the high altitude EMP nukes and then we have TEOTWAWKI.

It looks like the mountain under which the nuke tests were done is starting to collapse, meaning that any future tests may have to be above ground. If an above ground one is done, Kim will get the mushroom cloud he apparently wants to show Trump, but I bet China, Russia, South Korea and all the other nations that could be affected by fallout will be planning for an even quicker removal of his regime.

With the latest news being that NK is warning Australia could be targeted, it is time to ensure your preps for radiation are well in hand as it will not stop with one bomb....
I think eventually the United Nations will have to step up to confiscate all nuclear weapons as it is unacceptable for the rest of the world to live under the threat of two or more crazy's with their fingers on the buttons. The UN is the only authority that could actually let one off without a reprisal, so they could then take the role of keeping everyone in line or else!
