The Kim Regime of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (aka North Korea / DPRK) has conducted a successful nuclear test at 10:35am local time today. This has been confirm by the U.S. Geological Service, which detected seismic activity of 4.2 on the Richter scale at the suspected Nuclear test site in North Korea.
China has denounced North Korea’s brazen disregard of international opposition and called upon the DPRK to return to the 6 party talks. Japan has called for new sanctions and the White House has called upon North Korea to end all such provocative action and has reaffirmed her vow to defend her allies in East Asia. Meantime, South Korea wants the UN to take up the matter of the North Korea’s nuclear tests.
DAMN YOU, NORTH KOREA!! DAMN YOU, KIM JONG IL!!
It’s not like our world isn’t messed up enough already!

Update: Whether the DPRK has exploded a nuclear or neutron device remains debatable as estimate of the power of the DRPK explosion was equivalent to 550 tons of TNT, i.e. about 4.4% of the power of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. Whatever the case is, I sincerely hoped that North Korea does not have possession of the bomb and this was just Kim Jong Il trying to pull a fast one on the Americans using a large amount of conventional explosives. |

My take on this? He won’t start a war. He’s sabre-rattling. He’s too much in love with his food and drinks to want to do that. He’s living a great life.
At the expense of his people…
