Israel tests ‘dirty bombs,’ finds they pose no substantial danger
https://www.timesofisrael.com/israeli-tests-find-dirty-bombs-pose-no-substantial-danger/
Hmm. Are they sure?

I think there has been a large scale dirty bomb test and it is called Chernobyl. There was a second test at Fukushima.

What the Israelis appear to have tested was what a small unfunded cell could be expected to easily get their hands on, amounts so small they are considered not of concern to begin with. They were likely doing false flag testing anyway.

I remember Chernobyl very well.
The distance from Chernobyl to Gävle (171 km north of Stockholm) where the fallout hit Sweden the most is 1,320 km.
Further north about 70,000 reindeers had to be emergency slaughtered!
The reindeers are still on a special diet after the accident 41 years ago.
In Russia they still belive that vodka is a cure to radiation poisoning.

In Chernobyl taxi drivers are already prepared for the next fallout.

The Pentagon released a new nuclear arms policy Friday that calls for the introduction of two new types of weapons, effectively ending Obama-era efforts to reduce the size and scope of the U.S. arsenal and minimize the role of nuclear weapons in defense planning.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/pentagon-unveils-new-nuclear-weapons-strategy-ending-obama-era-push-to-reduce-us-arsenal/2018/02/02/fd72ad34-0839-11e8-ae28-e370b74ea9a7_story.html
The policy unveiled Friday envisions the introduction of "low-yield nukes" on submarine-launched ballistic missiles. Despite being called "low yield," such weapons could cause roughly as much damage as the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan, depending on their size.
The new Pentagon policy also outlines longer-term plans to reintroduce a nuclear submarine-launched cruise missile called an SLCM (or "slick-em"), which the administration of President George H.W. Bush stopped deploying and the Obama administration ordered removed from the arsenal.

Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock....

The United States New Nuclear Policy Policy presented applies to both "Allies" and "Partners". Swedish Total Defense Research Institute FOI's security policy expert expects that the policy may also apply to Sweden. But it is more likely that it is a signal to countries considering buying their own nuclear weapons, that they should abstain, according to Robert Dalsjö at FOI.
"This is a signal to countries that are thinking of acquiring nuclear weapons that you do not need to do. "We fix this," says Robert Dalsjö, referring to the United States.
It is not apparent from the documents that became public on Friday if Sweden is covered by the United States nuclear umbrella, but the word "partner" is mentioned many times. Therefore, it is likely that even Sweden is referred to in the documents, according to Robert Dalsjö.
- I expect that. Sweden received a nuclear weapon guarantee from the USA in the 1960s. And in recent years, the United States Former Secretary of Defense and Vice President has almost confirmed that Sweden still has a security guarantee. So, therefore, I assume that these descriptions are aimed, among other things, on Sweden. But there is no binding guarantee.

With the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War. Most understandably believed (hoped?) there would be no problem in reducing the number nuclear weapons nor any need to modernize

Hmm. I think that only the US and Russia reduced the number of nuclear weapon a lot at the time. The rest of the countries didn't.
Today all countries are modernizing their nukes so they will get more efficient. Miniturizing them so they could eventually be used in a tactically warfare. Before nukes was considered useless in military strategies.
There lies a big problem.
The risk to use those miniturized nukes increases.

Uh Oh

Called the "Status-6 Oceanic Multipurpose System," the Russian torpedo is reported to be able to deliver a thermonuclear cobalt bomb of up to 100 megatons. The weapon could trigger a tsunami wave of radioactive water that would blanket a coastal city. Politicians have called the torpedo a "doomsday" weapon.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2018/02/02/u-s-reverse-obama-decisions-catch-up-russia-china-rapidly-expanding-nuclear-capabilities-reverse-oba/302746002/
This Putin weapon is neither a modernization of, nor a miniaturized tactical nuclear weapon.

Статус-6 aka KANYON. Nice. I want one too.
Pic from Russian TV two years ago. Ops:)
In a number of Russian TV channels about a meeting with President Vladimir Putin on defense topics (held on November 9 2015), shots were shown about the classified system "Status-6". This was stated by presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov, reports Interfax.
"Indeed, there was some secret data that got into the camera lens, so they were subsequently deleted. We hope that this will not happen again, "Peskov said.
When asked if any organizational conclusions about the leakage of information followed, Peskov said: "While I do not know about any measures, we will certainly take preventive measures in the future, so that this will not happen again."

The Status-6 (Статус-6), aka KANYON, has been described as an unmanned midget submarine, but it is better thought of as a massively-large nuclear powered and nuclear armed torpedo.
The warhead is reported as a 100 megatons (which may be much too high!) nuclear device with a ‘dirty’ Cobalt shell in order to maximize the radioactive fallout.
Russia's Status-6: The Ultimate Nuclear Weapon or an Old Idea That Won't Die?
http://nationalinterest.org/blog/the-buzz/russias-status-6-the-ultimate-nuclear-weapon-or-old-idea-24139

It is unclear what degree of communication the Russians could maintain with the drone after launch, although specifications suggest that it will be controlled by surface ships. This is hardly a trivial question. If launched from maximum range, the Status 6 could conceivably take up to four days to reach its target. This makes it extremely dangerous in a crisis, as the political dynamics that hold at the weapon’s launch may not be the same as those at the moment of impact. Moreover, the prospects of a weapon navigating, on its own, for four days to a target are troubling, to say the least.

I see a lot of problem with KANYON.
But if it works and beeing used we are in deep s**t...

And sometimes things doesn't go as planned even if the nukes was meant to be only deterrent.
US President Muffley in the War Room talking over phone with Premier of the Soviet Union Dimitri, trying to explain a little "mishap".

Hello? Hello, Dimitri? Listen, I can't hear too well, do you suppose you could turn the music down just a little? Oh, that's much better. Yes. Fine, I can hear you now, Dimitri. Clear and plain and coming through fine. I'm coming through fine too, eh? Good, then. Well then as you say we're both coming through fine. Good. Well it's good that you're fine and I'm fine. I agree with you. It's great to be fine. laughs Now then Dimitri. You know how we've always talked about the possibility of something going wrong with the bomb. The bomb, Dimitri. The hydrogen bomb. Well now what happened is, one of our base commanders, he had a sort of, well he went a little funny in the head. You know. Just a little... funny. And uh, he went and did a silly thing. Well, I'll tell you what he did, he ordered his planes... to attack your country. Well let me finish, Dimitri. Let me finish, Dimitri. Well, listen, how do you think I feel about it? Can you imagine how I feel about it, Dimitri? Why do you think I'm calling you? Just to say hello? Of course I like to speak to you. Of course I like to say hello. Not now, but any time, Dimitri. I'm just calling up to tell you something terrible has happened. It's a friendly call. Of course it's a friendly call. Listen, if it wasn't friendly, ... you probably wouldn't have even got it. They will not reach their targets for at least another hour. I am... I am positive, Dimitri. Listen, I've been all over this with your ambassador. It is not a trick. Well I'll tell you. We'd like to give your air staff a complete run down on the targets, the flight plans, and the defensive systems of the planes. Yes! I mean, if we're unable to recall the planes, then I'd say that, uh, well, we're just going to have to help you destroy them, Dimitri. I know they're our boys. Alright, well, listen... who should we call? Who should we call, Dimitri? The people...? Sorry, you faded away there. The People's Central Air Defense Headquarters. Where is that, Dimitri? In Omsk. Right. Yes. Oh, you'll call them first, will you? Uh huh. Listen, do you happen to have the phone number on you, Dimitri? What? I see, just ask for Omsk Information. I'm sorry too, Dimitri. I'm very sorry. Alright! You're sorrier than I am! But I am sorry as well. I am as sorry as you are, Dimitri. Don't say that you are more sorry than I am, because I am capable of being just as sorry as you are. So we're both sorry, alright? Alright. Yes he's right here. Yes, he wants to talk to you. Just a second.

Hello? Hello, Dimitri? Listen,..

Saw this picture, in the movies, when it first came out.

Our reaction: Both laughs and fear that it could really happen.

Luckily we have today Trump, Putin and Kim that I'm sure don't let those kind of mishaps happen :)

Or... It takes one to know one.
Sometimes an intelligent, ethical and moral British PM Chamberlain type leads to worse.

It also takes knowledge in foreign policies.
Chamberlain, who was inexperienced in foreign policy, gradually took over the leadership of British Foreign Policy from the Foreign Office.
Hmm. It reminds me of a certain US president...

If you knew anything about UK history you would soon realise that remark is incorrect.

Understanding that both were/are inexperienced.
Would a "Peace in our times" (Munich) trust in a Hitler type have happened with a Trump type PM?
I am not approving of Trump nor have great trust in his judgement in this matter. Just a observation that 'appeasers' may be worse.

Before answering that I have to first read the US Nuclear Posture Review (NPR)

However I seen this video from NPR and there are no simple answers.
On Deterrence is a documentary that presents a contemporary dialogue involving different viewpoints about the evolution of nuclear weapon deterrence since World War II and how deterrence may evolve in the future

Are both Kim and Don playing "The Madman Theory"?
Will Don get Kissinger's last advice?
Will Don obliterate North Korea?
Will Kim nuke Guam, Japan, Los Angeles, San Diego...?
And will we see Major Kong's son riding the bomb?
That and more in the next thrilling episode of "Madmen" at home on your TV.

"The Madman Theory" recap.
The madman theory is a political theory commonly associated with U.S. President Richard Nixon's foreign policy.
He and his administration tried to make the leaders of hostile Communist Bloc nations think Nixon was irrational and volatile.
Trump's use of the theory with North Korea has been similarly criticized, suggesting the chance of an accident arising from North Korea's string of missile testing was also increased.

DONALD TRUMP AND THE 'MADMAN' PLAYBOOK
https://www.wired.com/story/donald-trump-madman-strategy-north-korea-nuclear-weapons/

Among serious strategists, “madmen” are not afraid to fail, or blow up the world and themselves.
That is not their preferred outcome, but they are prepared to take massive risks for specific purposes.
To be mad is not to be irrational. There is a steely rationality in the willingness to combine extreme force with potential suicide.
The madman strategist is ready to press the nuclear button if the adversary doesn’t back down.
The adversary will give in, according to the logic, because the potential damage is just too devastating, and he thinks the madman might be serious.

The Problem With Trump's Madman Theory
It didn’t work for Nixon. It’s even less likely to work now

And sanctions doesn't seems to work so well as well.
Sometimes the effects of them are contrary to what one should wish. Here on North Korea.

What's left? Diplomacy? Why not?

Hmm. I wonder if Kim knows about 외교.
Well It's easier to both pronounciate and spell it then 안녕하세요 Hehe:)

What's left? Diplomacy? Why not?

To what purpose? Since the only thing to 'discuss' is maniac Kim's dismantling of his weapons of mass destruction and missiles to carry them.
Who believes that Kim will dismantle his weapons of mass destruction and missiles to carry them?
Who believes that Kim will really allow International Inspectors unrestricted access to his country.

Not even the Swedish Foreign Office believes that and we even have diplomatic relations with NK and also being "Protective power" to the US in NK.

Protective power is called the state that protects the interests of another country in a third country, when these countries do not have diplomatic relations. [1]
Sweden is the protection force for a number of Western countries in North Korea, including the other Nordic countries, the Baltic States and the United States [2] [3] and Canada through the Swedish Embassy in Pyongyang. Since the summer of 2012, the Swedish embassy in Iran's capital, Tehran, is also a protection force for Britain [4]. This when the British embassy was previously stormed as a result of increased sanctions against Iran in response to its nuclear issue. [5]

So whats left? Assassination of Madmen?
