I don't think anyone's ever had one fizzle, at least in that particular manner.

So the Democratic People's Republic of Korea has proved to the world they can't build a working bomb. Somehow fitting.

So the Democratic People's Republic of Korea has proved to the world they can't build a working bomb yet. Somehow fitting.

Actually, I'm going to say NKorea screwed the pooch with this one. China, their closest (and maybe only) ally, is now royally pissed at them.

[Colonol Dekker]

That would be like the US gettin' lairy at the UK

Are you mad man, have you EVER been a takeaway on a Friday night/Saturday morning!!!! They're well hostile........Maybe not the guys running them, but the customers, now that's a different matter!

China isn't really their ally, they have interest in keeping the lid on NK and trying to maintain status quo. Rowdy, aggressive NK is propably the last thing they wanted - refugees, interrupting Eastern Asian trade, possible war and US/ROK forces propably winning and then being at Chinese doorsteps, blackmailing, possibly nukes.. No one wants to have anything like that in his backyard. China's like a big brother who is defending and suppressing and keeping down and bribing his hostile brother, hoping that one day he will be sensible to stop pulling all kinds of stupid ****.
Recent Chinese press releases have been quite hostile to NK, and no wonder - the status quo, best of really bad options, is now threatened.

So their test didn't work, but now just because the US is being hostile! they'll have to try again. Well I'm convinced

[IPAndrews]

Ok so now according to CNN N.Korea sees continued bad feeling toward them "an act of war"

Oh, great, now they've declared war on you!

[Mars]

Hmmm... I'm confused... was that our fault this time or not. 

[IPAndrews]

Yes the threat of mockery on HLP is forcing them to develop nukes to defend themselves.

[Mefustae]

Well, Kim Jong-il has done stranger things...

[redmenace]

So, what does Hugo Chavez have to say about this. lol

[Unknown Target]

Just because I had to say it sometime; I was wrong about N Korea earlier. I thought they were just sabre rattling but I was wrong.

Now, however, what I predicted early after the nuclear test looks like it's coming true - North Korea, now that it has the bomb, seems to have decided that it can push other nations around. This, for all of those why not profiliate people, is why you don't want to have small, irresponsible countries like NK with nukes:

The new measures will include banning all North Korean imports and stopping its ships entering Japanese waters, a government spokesman said.
