North Korea Nuclear Test Successful

[Sidoh]

@Sidoh: They announced they had nukes. Why would they say they had nukes if they didn't? It just seems like too much to simply be a coincidence or bluff....

Think about it.  Hopefully that's obvious.

I don't know about you guys, but I always bluff when I have pocket Aces.

This all boils down to NK has less nukes then a US Sub of which I am sure there are many in the Sea of Japan.  They can feel free to launch if they want to see what happens when MAD is not in play.

Well, why would anyone say that they have nukes when they don't?

other powers are a LOT more willing to bend to your will if you actually have nukes.

I think it all boils down to no one wanting nuclear weapons in the hands of anyone maniacal enough to use them.   Wait a second...

Let's see... North Korea is much like a communist Russia. There are currently NO American ambassadors to Korea, and no (with exception to one) Americans within Korea. There is no internet service in Korea open for the general public. One TV station: Government controlled (filled with propaganda). One radio station: government controlled (filled with propaganda). No pictures allowed in North Korea, other than ones of their leader. Yay for failed communism.

Whereas here, we have many stations and a public internet full of propaganda.  Slightly better, I think? :P

Did you totally miss the "wait a second..." part of my message?

No, but I interpreted its ambiguous meaning much differently than you did, apparently. :P

I suspect he was going along with your sarcasm, based on the context.  But I could be wrong!

Your mom is so fat, when she fell over, the world thought north korea was testing nuclear weapons.

I really hope NK nukes someone and misses.  Missle goes straight up and comes straight down.
