Last I heard, America and none of her territories nor battleships has been nuked. Did Kim Jung Il declare war on us, in writing?

I'm trying to be a counter balance to the hysterical raving being posted here, by some.

Actually p*ssing off China is a bad idea and I doubt if China is in a good mood right now after being poked in the eye.

The war with North Korea was never formally ended, I think.

Any nuclear weapon on the Korean Peninsula would violate the ban agreed upon in the Korean War Armistace and effectively return us to a shooting war there.

So yes, a nuclear test in North Korea would be a direct act of war against U.S. interests, per that Armistace.

For a given quake seismologists will argue over the magnitude for months aftwards - there are also different magnitude scales.

4.2 probably means it actually was over 1 kiloton...it's still a pretty small device.

It's starting to appear the device was in a horizontal shaft under a hill rather than in a deep vertical shaft.

This should have some effect on the seismic signals.
