This is good news.

Finally they’ll be able to stand up to evil, racist Americans who vote for Trump. :)

What do the people of South Korea think of us now?

[Nextrush]

The Norks learned from an American president, who threatened them with nukes in 1953 to force concessions at a negotiating table leading to armistice in the Korean War.

Dwight Eisenhower taught the Kim regime a lesson and decades later they want to use nukes and threats to get us to a negotiating table to give them the goodies they need to prop up their failed communist economy.

Get back to me when our military confirms it.

Jeffrey Lewis https://twitter.com/armscontrolwonk and Andy Frassetto https://twitter.com/drrocks1982 have useful info and will for sure post more the coming days.

That wouldn’t be the railyard explosion near the Chinese boarder? It was huge - nearly getting Dear Leader who had, unfortuanately, vacated the area and his armored train some time prior.

Is all that NEST data from the Los Alamos hard drive coming home to roost? (The one they ‘found’ a month after they discovered it was missing, behind the copy machine.)

[Vaquero]

Good acting. Where were the tears when domestic Islamic terrorists killed Americans?

[Shady]

Yep.

[a fool in paradise]

That's okay, the world is ‘nuclear’ neutral as far as Obama is concerned since he has done what he could to reduce our arsenal.

[Shady]

But they have Russian “helpers” I’m afraid.

Does Kim-Il ill really care about his subjects who live and eat the dirt around the test site?

[baltimorepoet]

The Russians or Chinese might not be serious about actually arming North Korea, hence the lack of ballistic missile tech transfer.

However, they might figure with what is going on in the Ukraine and the South China Sea, North Korea having the H-bomb might be a useful distraction for them, lack of long-range delivery vehicle or not.

Thnaks, Bill Clinton. Thanks, Maddy Albright.

[TADSLOS]

LMAO. Kinda sounds like lil’ Kim.

[TexasFreeper2009]

Thanks Obama!

[ecomcon]

That is America. The pinnacle of self obsessed narcissism. A feckless, unaccomplished, phony and grifter, hollowing out the great things built by far better.

PUKE

[Personal Responsibility]

“The test, if confirmed by outside experts, will lead to a strong push for new, tougher sanctions at the United Nations”

I’m sure this will have North Korea shaking in their boots.

Uncle Kim’s birthday is Jan 8

Well if they really have I’m sure they will put one up for sale. I’ve heard ISIS has tons of cash on hand from selling oil.
