Every indication is that he is not a very pliable puppet. He has country on the verge of total starvation, and when 25M people eventually decide that they are truly being systematically starved to death while Fat Boy gorges himself and spends $1M on cognac it can easily result in a total deterioration of any semblance of law. At that point, who gets their hands on the nukes? Who do they see as the appropriate target of their anger? Gives a new potential meaning to "car bomb".That makes sense about the nuclear signature - what about the people involved though - perhaps they are actually Chinese?
As to "maybe they are really Chinese weapons", it doesn't work that way. More so than other explosions, a nuke has a very informative signature that tells a lot about its manufacture. Nuclear forensics is a very interesting topic. Originally Posted by Old-T
