I wouldn't say I'm particularly ready for once they have a hydrogen bomb and the capability to place it on a long-range missile, but for the moment, that still seems unlikely.
North Korea has said it was a hydrogen bomb test. That remains to be seen. I am a bit doubtful at the moment. In 2013 they tested an atomic bomb which created a 5.1 magnitude earthquake. Now, in 2016, they tested a "hydrogen bomb" which created a... 5.1 magnitude earthquake(as initially reported).
The technological sophistication of a hydrogen bomb has been believed to be out of North Korea's grasp, and the explosive potential of a fusion-focused hydrogen bomb is multitudes greater than a traditional fission-focused atomic bomb. You're basically using an atomic bomb to ignite an even bigger, more complex bomb. So far, until they release data from the test(and even then), there is decent reason to believe it being a so-called hydrogen bomb is a glossing up of a possibly larger atomic bomb.
Obviously it's still concerning either way, but I'd say there's big room for skepticism right now. We should wait to hear non-North Korean government confirmation on whether this was truly a successful hydrogen bomb test or simply another atomic bomb test like the previous ones.
