Oberon · 02-12-13, 12:38 AM

Seismographs have picked up indications that the DPRK may have conducted another nuclear test.

Either that, or little Kim let a really big one rip after last nights curry.

EDIT [5:52Z]: DPRK confirms nuclear test

Yes I heard the same thing!!

Wonder what damage he caused!!

In North Korea? About ten cents worth, and that's in the middle of Pyongyang.

Oberon · 02-12-13, 03:20 AM

The DPRK have stated that it was their largest detonation yet, a statement which seems to be backed up by the seismograph readings. They also claim that it was a much smaller sized device, which is interesting but debatable.

I'd be double checking if I asked the buggas the time.

I bet they just made a big pile of firecrackers and blew them up.

Wondering how many more thousands will die of starvation now because of the heightened level of sanctions that will probably follow

You've missed the most important information:

they aren't THAT bad, are they?

Maybe they figured that now was a good time to do this because Japan won't notice the radioactive cloud against the current level of background radiation.

If we get lucky, China will handle this little Kim problem.

the words "lucky" and "china will handle" are incompatible to each other in the same sentence. paragraph. Text. Book. Ever.

Sounds as if somebody in NK is expanding his grab to powers in Pyongyang and bringing the apparatus more and more under his control. Not good, since this translates into a hardening of the dictatorship again, after the phase of transition from the old to the new Führer.

Why do they keep playing with fire? I mean they have to know EVENTUALLY some one is going to bring the hammer down and stop slapping their wrist and bend them over and whip them red. Sorry for the weird metaphor.

Reports like this remind me of Star Wars...
"I have a bad feeling about this!"

@CaseySmith
Oh, really?You are aware that most of the western nations "played with fire" a lot already and still have an arsenal to play some more, right?
Who has the right to say "Stop it North Korea!" ?
You? Your country, or mine?

No one. They can, theoretically, do what they want. Same goes for Iran. Them playing around with this crap does not mean anyone has the right to burst in and "whip them red", especially not when those nations have nuclear weapons capable of ending the world as we know it in 30 minutes or less.

A little ridiculous, Id say...

I understand your view.

I however meant it in the form of they are a kid poking you and you tell them to not touch you again. And what do they do? They hold their finger as close to you as possible and say "Im not touching you".

I am not saying MY COUNTRY is going to come in and whoop them, however, they have been told to knock it off by more than just my country, and eventually, they are going to push someones buttons the wrong way, even if it means a possible Nuclear War. To them they just want to see what boundary they can step over next.

With Iran, although I cannot comment too much on it since I am not too informed about that situation. From what I gather, the deal was them using Nuclear for Power, where as North Korea is going straight to a middle finger and making weapons.
