When (not if) that happens, there will be a whole lot of hang wringing, but no real action because, after all, we cannot say with 100% certainty it WAS a Bombs by Kimmy A-bomb. Maybe after Kim lets the FBI into the PDRK to poke around, we could arrest the Dear Leader, Miranda him, then bring him back for a dream team to defend...

Actually, there are ways to tell where materials came from by their signatures before and after "use", and these ways are known and verifiable by all the nuclear powers. I think we have made it pretty clear that our response to such a thing would be of the "most severe" kind, which is diplomat speak for ka-boom.
I really don't understand these people. OK, maybe they can make 10 of these, and put them on 10 missiles. Suppose 2 of the missiles worked and one of the bombs actually did something other than make a big mess (although it probably would miss anyway). What would our response be - maybe it would range from nothing to complete sterilization of the whole surface of the country in a half hour. What kept (and keeps) the balance between the big powers is MAD - Mutually Assured Destruction - but in the case of NK, it's just AD.
