				North Korea at it again
			 
 
			
			http://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/06/wo...test.html?_r=0
5.1 Earthquake detected at previous Nuclear test site. 
 
NK have themselves claimed to have detonated a Hydrogen bomb. Nobody but NK can substantiate this but I've already seen evidence that this is indeed a Nuclear test using previous readings to distinguish earthquake from nuke.

Must be the season for foreign aid again    
Although keep in mind North Korea successfully launched a ballistic missile in December.

		| Their capabilities are about Pre-1945 US bombs. |  Unless North Korea literally wheel the device to the South Korean border, they pose next to no threat and are still significantly far more threatening with their conventional missiles and artillery. It's not small enough, it's not powerful enough to be classed as a warhead or to be used on a missile. If anything it's proving they're inept and desperate. Sure it's a threat in the future. Right now however at the turn of the year screams attention. Sanctions and typically foreign aid.
 
Once again before the silly media spin it. North Korea can not launch a Nuclear Strike. They are so far away from a conventional Nuclear warhead.
 
China is indeed a key element though especially with the reveal that they're distancing themselves as much as possible despite what the media says.
 
There is no outcome where China wins though.
 
On top of all of that. In comparison with the 2013 readings, It's very likely this was a failed test. That or their 'H-Bomb' has made no progress on previous Nuclear detonations. 
 
Threat of a Nuclear attack isn't the worry though. Them selling it to others is something else though.

			Without the proper siding of China and Russia they usually get, things are getting more and more desperate. Given the international response too I'd write off that actually being a warhead. If China wasn't in such a poor position and didn't face the threat of having the US and South Korea basically sharing a border with them then these shenanigans would've died a long time ago. China doesn't have the means to support the sheer amount of civilians that would be left from removing the fools from North Korea.
