North Korea conducts third nuclear test

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-21421841

North Korea says it has successfully carried out its third underground nuclear test, a move that has drawn international condemnation.

The confirmation came three hours after seismic activity was detected at North Korea's nuclear test site.

US President Barack Obama called for "swift" and "credible" international action in response. China expressed "firm opposition" to its ally's test.

North Korea is increasingly becoming a threat to other nations IMO. It's long been a failed state that likes to threaten it's neighbours but having a nuclear weapon would change things dramatically. We simply cannot have a nuclear North Korea...:erm:

At least we know for certain they have WMD's and need the lies of a politician from any country to confirm it should things escalate

funny that, we know they have WMDs, but I doubt you'll see anyone picking a fight anytime soon.

Indeed there doesn't seem to be the same urgency to get rid of the N Korean gov as there was with the Iraq one .Does N korea have anything we need ?

It's logistically difficult to invade North Korea. China would not be happy at all. I guess you could use South Korea but they probably don't want to risk getting a bunch of missiles fired at Seoul and you'll have to cross the DMZ....

Re: North Korea conducts third nuclear test

Or you could get a high powered laser on a satellite to burn a path through the DMZ?

I'm sure the North Koreans already have one and are just waiting to use it.

We still have lots of them just in case we have to deal with the likes of North Korea or Iran
