What could the UN possibly do? What is their success rate in these things?

The Russians claim it was nuclear and about the size of the bombs we dropped on Japan.

1. NK could theoretically sell one to some raghead terrorists who would light it off on our soil.

2. This could start a regional arms race. Imagine South Korea, Japan and Taiwan, amongst others, with nukes. The number of conflicts that could be started are just mind-boggling.

3. China and Japan are huge trading partners with the U.S. Anything bad that happens to them will come back to bite us in the arse.

1) That would be very bad

2) There is a significant regional arms races already underway. The PRC is significantly raising their military capabilities in ways that count to project force in the upgrades of the air, navy, and nuclear forces (get ready for limited MAD again). SK is upgrading their military in quality ways and Japan is up doing so as well. Even the US is repositioning assets to balance higher in the Pacific theater.

3) Yep, we're setting ourselves up for that all right... It only costs us jobs for profit if it creates a Pax Pacifica but if it does not it is jobs, soldiers, and stability.

. I'm waiting to hear they found radiation levels somewhere....

U.S. confirms test

An analysis of air samples collected shortly after North Korea declared it had conducted the test confirms it took place, according to the office of the U.S. director of national intelligence.
The analysis detected radioactive debris, indicating the explosive yield was less than one kiloton, said a statement from John Negroponte's office. That is relatively small for a nuclear test.
The first air sample collected after Pyongyang's announcement last week contained no radioactive debris, but a second one did.

He says he is 6'4" tall when he teases his hair! WTF

My brother-in-law travels (17 hour flight) to SK several times a year. Works for high tech company. He says that they take him out to eat and on many of the menus are DOGS, which he has had to eat. Roasted, broasted and fired. They never go anywhere that you can get a decent piece of cow. Eddie says the food is some of the worst he has ever tasted. He can't insult them though,so he eats it, but he truly detest going there.

[fishpoopoo]

next time he's there tell him to try the roasted silkworm larva.
