It has yet to be verified - for all our sakes, I hope it proves false:

North Korea says nuclear test successful

[Nuke]

[achtung]

Holy mother of god.......


Who wants pancakes? 


Seriously though, China won't have this.

[Nuke]

i want to see new vidoe of mushroom clouds on cnn damn it!

[watsisname]

So, how long 'til N. Korea gets reduced to radioactive rubble?

[Flipside]

I'm still not unconvinced this isn't some kind of Grandstand by N.Korea. It's a hell of a risk to take, the sort of thing you'd expect him to do.

[watsisname]

Actually, I'm just hoping that the US gov't doesn't take this situation and do something outrageously stupid with it.

[Mefustae]

So, there's this massive buildup of tension towards NK testing a nuke, and when they finally do, everyone is like "****, missed it. Can you do it again?".

[Shade]

Maybe that's their grand plan for dealing with it. Keep saying "oops missed it, demonstrate again please?" until they're out of working weapons? It would be fairly consistent with the usual level of planning for the Bush administration, at least.

[Ford Prefect]

Haha, yeah. And then Kim Jong-Il offers Bush coffee and says, "How many lumps do you want?" And Bush says, "Oh, three or four." And then North Korea blows up three or four U.S. cities, and the picture closes around Bush chasing Kim Jong-Il off into the sunset, accompanied by a final, drawn-out cadence in the orchestra.

[Kosh]

If this is true (which it might very well be or not be), then I would say: ****, the Bush administration really ****ed this ****ing thing up pretty ****ing badly.

[Unknown Target]

Boom, it's been updated;

An official at
South Korea's seismic monitoring center confirmed a magnitude-3.6 tremor felt at the time North Korea said it conducted the test was not a natural occurrence.

People, this **** is going down.

[Ulala]

Wait, who shot who with the what now?

[Unknown Target]

No one shot anyone - South Korea seismology centers detected an earthquake that looks to be non-natural - i.e; nuclear-caused.

[IceFire]

Oh boy...yeah we'll see what happens here.  Hopefully China and Russia take this as seriously as the US and Japan do.

[Unknown Target]

China had seemingly changed their stance recently, and said that they would not condone a nuclear test.

[Kosh]

Hopefully China and Russia take this as seriously as the US and Japan do.

I don't think either of them would want a nuke fight on their borders.


Also I would think they would be concerned with what would happen to the nukes should the regime collapse......
