If this WSJ report citing H-bomb capable ICBM claim is confirmed?
Granted Clinton and Bush also played a role in this mess, in recent years there seem to have been an unnecessary escalation in ego massaging grudge matches and bravado/name calling that is getting translated to troubling physical developments without any good containment means. When current/last POTUS/their allies had been busy framing each other as "Founding Father of ISIS" and "supporter of nationalist supremacist" etc, NK apparently had been perfecting H-bomb ready missiles designs. And then there were highly attention demanding but elective/illogical/unnecessary/costly freedom spreading projects in Iraq , Benghazi, Syria, ISIS development etc of recent years.

SEOUL—North Korea said it conducted a sixth and significantly larger nuclear test Sunday, stepping up pressure on President Donald Trump in what is shaping up to be his biggest foreign policy crisis.
In a televised statement, North Korea described the underground explosion, which triggered a large earthquake, as a “perfect success in the test of a hydrogen bomb for an ICBM.” Pyongyang said “the creditability of the operation of the nuclear warhead is fully guaranteed.”
The test came just hours after leader Kim Jong Un showed off what he described as a hydrogen bomb (https://www.wsj.com/articles/north-korea-says-it-has-developed-advanced-hydrogen-bomb-1504394440) capable of being mounted on an intercontinental ballistic missile.

North Korea responded Wednesday to President Trump’s threatening message delivered before television news camera the day before. They mocked his golf outings in the statement and taunted him over the threat.
“The U.S. President at a [golf] links again let out a load of nonsense about ‘fire and fury,’ failing to grasp the on-going grave situation…” the statement said. (https://twitter.com/CNNSitRoom/status/895410786394226694)
“It seems that he has not yet understood the statement,” it continued. “Sound dialogue is not possible with such a guy bereft of reason and only absolute force can work on him.”
The statement was attributed to the Commander of the Strategic Force of the Korean People’s Army, General Kim Rak Gyom.
