N. Korea conducts nuke test in presence of Iranian scientists

Iranian scientists were likely present when North Korea conducted its third nuclear test earlier this week at the Punggye-ri nuclear test site in the Asian country's northeast, a Western diplomatic source privy to Pyongyang-Tehran ties said Thursday.

The revelation, if verified, could deepen suspicions by the international community that Iran is developing nuclear weapons and lead to reassessments in U.S. President Barack Obama's policies toward Pyongyang and Tehran.

Iran sounded out North Korea in November about observing the North's latest nuclear test, which took place Tuesday, and in exchange proposed paying North Korea in Chinese yuan the equivalent of tens of millions of dollars, the source said.

I saw where South Korea has launched some missile tests now too. Funny how there is no outrage about it.

When you've got a fly buzzing round and annoying you. You brush it aside. When it turns out to be a wasp. You swat it before it stings you. When you realise it has been building a nest in your front room, death and destruction is inevitable. Peaceful coexistence is not an-option. Radical action is required. It's time to reach for the.

What's the problem with you, Brits, and NK? The Empire at risk again?

I wonder what you would say when an harmless looking fishing boat slips in to New York bay, then up the Hudson and detonates a nuclear weapon right up your arse's. All the experts are saying it will take 10 years to develop a long rang missile. But it's not beyond the realm of possibility to sail across the Atlantic tooled up with a nuclear weapon. I would imagine everyday there hundred of boats using the Hudson river. The same goes for LA. Just come the other way.

North Korea continues to act without fear of retaliation from the international community.

North Korea detonated a nuclear weapon on February 12 as part of its ongoing nuclear testing. The international community responded with words of condemnation.

NATO called it an “irresponsible act.”

The United Nations said, “The members of the Security Council strongly condemn this test.” It also said it was now considering “appropriate measures.”

U.S. President Barack Obama called it a “highly provocative act” and said the danger posed by North Korea “warrants swift and credible action by the international community.”

North Korea was not cowed, and responded with some some choice words itself. “If the United States continues to come out with hostility and complicates the situation, we will be forced to take out stronger, second and third responses in consecutive steps,” it said in a statement through the kcna news agency.

In late January, reports revealed North Korea was testing new rockets designed to hit American soil.

It is remarkable what a stark difference there is in the weight behind the words of North Korea, as opposed to those of the nations that wish to halt its militarization.

North Korea has been backing its words with action. When it has said it plans on testing missiles, it tests missiles. When it says it will not halt its nuclear program, it doesn’t halt it. When North Korea informs the U.S. in advance that it will conduct an underground weapons test, it follows through.

In contrast, the most militarily powerful nations in the world warn, condemn and complain. They express regret and concern and thump podiums.

To what effect? The nuclear explosion speaks for itself. Despite one third of children in North Korea thought to be malnourished, the government of Kim Jong-un still orders nuclear testing.

There is a vicious cycle occurring. North Korea conducts its military tests, the West slaps more sanctions on the already impoverished nation, and then North Korea announces more tests in retaliation to the sanctions.

Diplomacy with Kim Jong-un is failing. The United States has been busy upping its presence in the Asia Pacific region. If the U.S. wants to play a bigger role, this would be a good place to start. However, judging from history, all we can expect is a barrage of words and a series of slaps on the hand. To see where this cycle is leading in Asia, read Russia and China in Prophecy.

NK is a 1-shot nuclear power, a derringer if you will or a bee. In pure logic, the first and only target of NK is SK. So, in a worst case scenario, I'd be more concerned about them (SK). This wcs is so absurd it's not even worth considering, for so many reasons. I find more intriguing why 90% of posters here are Brits.
