They can't even make rockets, there's no way they're doing H-Bombs.

I'm having trouble believing that they've managed to put a 2 stage weapon into production to be honest. Even if they had they would still have to find a way to miniaturize it for delivery on a rocket.
For the North Korean's the delivery of any atomic weapon doesn't have to be all that sophisticated, they basically need something that can fly as far as Seoul
which is in range of most long range howitzers.
Instead of spending all of their time suppossedly building a true city busting strategic weapon. Their smart move would be to focus on building small battlefield tactical nukes deliverable by artillary, MLRS or even off of the top of Scud style missiles.
That's why I think that this is a con, a ICBM delivery program is murderously expensive, as are multistage weapons.
