Does "however outlandish analysts consider such threats" mean "no matter how weird analysts pay attention to such threats"?

Context:
And it comes on the heels of months of provocative action and warlike rhetoric from Pyongyang, including talk of nuclear strikes against the United States — however outlandish analysts consider such threats. No one is discounting the danger entirely after tests of a nuclear device and ballistic missile technology in recent months.

@oristarA,

Outlandish meaning bizarre, ridiculous, ...refers to the threats, not the analysts.

However ridiculous these threats may seem to analysts, no one is discounting the danger entirely after tests of a nuclear device and ballistic missile technology in recent months.

@oristarA,
Ori I believe you might have posted this OP twice (not criticizing, I do it all the time) so please look for the other one
