| quote: | North Korea has staged a "successful" underground nuclear test, the state-run KCNA agency reports.
The agency says it was more powerful than an earlier test in October 2006.
South Korea's president immediately convened an emergency security meeting and Japan is setting up a task force in the prime minister's office.
Just hours later, North Korea appears to have test-fired a short-range missile, South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported.
Pyongyang has so far not commented on Yonhap's report. |

Russia says the test was around 20kt. That is about the same yield as the Fatman bomb dropped on Nagasaki.
Just to note, the average warhead in the US arsenal ranges in the 250-500kt range, with multi-megaton air dropped bombs held in reserve. |

I see no problem with this.
The Americans have nuclear bombs, the Indians have nuclear bombs, the Russians have nuclear bombs, the Chinese have nukes and many others.
Is it right for the capitalist countries to judge a comminist society just because it has nukes? Not fair in my opinion.
Basically, you have a bigger gun, well i'm going to get a bigger one. Even thought they wont be as big as the US.
By the way, Iraq didn't have nukes, look what happened to them. Afghans doesn't have nukes.
As you can see, the police of the world are trying to manage other countries. They could have done the samething with North Korea, but they wont, because they have nukes. |

It's North Korea's flagrant violation of policies as well as flagrant display of nuclear weaponry that make people understandably leery. In a perfect world, every country would follow international law all of the time, so we could all feel safer in our means for mutually assured destruction, but war doesn't reconcile with reason, and the less nukes in the least amount of hands, the better.
No, it's not fair at all. But nothing truly is. |
