Did North Korea say when?

The world have been waiting for far too long . . . . . .


If they really want war they should get on it imo.

On the bright side if war erupts is that there's no better time for South Korea to reunify the Korean peninsula than now. Better now than a few decades down the line.

That's the problem. . .imo.

North Korea is not without a sense just a different one than what we normally know. We see this kind of behavior in some kids probably since primary school times. They too do not wish for war and perhaps that's the reason they are making themselves appear otherwise. At least we know they are now desperate.

If they reform their economy and political system instead making threats they probably could achieve more down the line.

They won't do it.
North Korea needs support from America and NATO in order to keep on rattling their saber and threatening things like this. They won't do it because then there will be nobody to support them.

In fact, North Korea is so laughable, Cracked can almost devote an entire subsection to him and I dug this up recently.

They tested two A-Bombs. They barely managed to go off but they would no doubt ruin your day.

The first one was a fizzle which means it only achieved criticality and not super criticality.

The second one suffered from pre-ignition which meant that parts of the pit went super critical but too soon.

The north koreans are still 0 for 2.

They are learning the cruel fact that the theory of nuclear weapons is easy to understand, the practical application is much more difficult.
