whos more of a threat

[JohnR]

The "Peculiar Cloud" really means nothing. Some starving NK soldier accidentally drops his smoke into the fuel room for the People's Democratic Army's missle arsenal and it's going to make a massive mushroom cloud. It's no the first time. Russians had a little problem in Murmansk in the 80s and the NKs had a massive explosion just earlier this year when a train crashed with (if I remember right) lots O checmicals onboard.

Now if it was the glowing type of mushroom cloud, China, SK, Japan and others would have noticed radiation traces in the air in dust and the like. Have not seen heard any reports of that. When Chernobyl melted down in the 80s the first public announcement was a couple days after the event when some Eroupean countries noticed abnormal radiation levels. If this was a "nuke test" we would probably know by now because the Chinese tanks would be there investigating it.
