They've most likely had a nuclear weapon for already some time; NK does this all the time, first they tell everyone to **** off, then wait for some-one to make some sort of compromise (economical aid, for example). It's not like they're going to start firing nukes into Japan or south any day soon :doubt:

Simple solution.
Say to North Korea, Iran etc. "Give up your nuclear technology or we will give you a demonstration of a Hydrogen Bomb on your land.  That is all"

Oh and btw - that article discusses Iran's nuclear enrichment program that so far no one has proved is for weapons use.

Doesn't surprise me in the least.

Thing is, North Korea isn't exactly the most aggressive country around.  I'm far more worried about America's current "nukyerler" development programme than I am about the DPRK's possible small number of (most likely basic atomic) warheads. Same goes for Iran.

You do of course realise that China might have something to say about that, what with NK being right on their border and all. :rolleyes:

NK is such an attention whore.

They've been doing this since 1990s. Of course they should be completely insane to use any nuclear weapons, since their neighbours (China would propably be "quite" pissed off at them too) would demolish them in 30 minutes.
lol wtf

lol

NK has a chance to obliterate US in the same way SU had? They haven't even had a provable nuclear test yet, and I doubt building 5000 ICBMs is quite at the reach of their industry in any foreseeable future.

One lost US city + some lost NK cities != MAD
lol wtf

It's enough to kill tens of millions of people, and I doubt that even the Americans are going to risk that. Besides, another Korean War ould be devastating to most of the world. China and America would be going up against each other, which would do huge damage to world economies, and probably suck in Russia as well. The risks are too great for either side to contemplate (I hope)...

I call bull****. What reason would China have to side with NK?


None. They have economic ties to the rest of the world, practically no other ties than the LOL COMMISM factor* with NK and don't risk a complete nuclear destuction over a little country (though more insane things have been seen, but during those times no nation had capability to kill the entire population of a planet in less than 24 hours). China is also pretty pissed off at NK at this time, they no longer give them adamant support and prefer US relationships over them so far.


And I pretty much say no one want's to invade NK, but if DPRK decides to nuke someone else than themselves they will get invaded.


*which is also quite BS in itself, as NK is avowedly juche and insane and dirt-poor and surrounded by A) US army B) Japanese army C) ROK army and D) everyone else, while China's economy is doing pretty well under their weird pseudo-communistic libertopia.
lol wtf

One problem though - the US import market is slowing down.  China relies on US imports a LOT.
