The notion that they even have nukes is still unknown, according to them, they do, but the seismic reading after it was tested was 1/50th of what the norm was for the last tested nuke.

The US confirmed it was nuclear, as well as other agencies saying the same thing.
That's just what I heard on official news reports, and it seems pretty reliable info.
when was it confirmed? sure they talk like they KNOW it happened 23 hours a day, but catch them in that last hour they will say its all speculation.
yes north korea did say they did do it( and i have seen no other source that comfirmes it 100%), but their leader is a psycho paranoid bastard who thinks evre other country is out to get him ( mainly USA ). faking a nuke test with conventional weapons is using an old stratagy 'The threat of power is power'.
would you invade a country that could POSSIBLY have a nuke, and probalby would use it? they probably dont, but is it worth the risk?
il shut up now befor i make a bigger fool of myself :D

conventional weapons don't produce gamma ray bursts.

Nuclear weapons are retarded no matter WHO has em? Stupid invention, by stupid people, which is probably gonna be the death knell for god knows how many people.
By the way, I served on one of britains V-Class Submarines. The ones with our nuclear weapons on. You'd be surprised how many serving Naval Ratings felt the same way.

I am not sure who said it but I do like this quote:
" I don't know what weapons will be used in World War III but I do know what weapons will be used in World War IV....sticks and stones"

Regardless of what N. Korea's cooking in its kitchen, the whole situation is still considered "unfinished business". The world's earlier intervention in the 50s definitely didn't have the success Desert Storm did in Iraq much later, but it would be foolish to think that foreign powers will let this one slide.
Still though, it's been well over 50 years, there's a reason they call it the Forgotten War. And one has to question if there's any real benefit to finding (imposing) a peaceful (financially rewarding) resolve.
Ahh.. politics...
Aristotle was wrong. Man is not a political animal. Politicians are political animals, and some really don't deserve that "political" qualifier.

Everybody knows that nobody wins in a nuke fight.
You don't see osma blowing his ass up for his cause. There's a reason behind this.
Germ warfare > nukes
I would take nuclear incineration in a heart beat as opposed to some of the viruses that have been produced that makes your skin fall off, your eyes bleed and having your penis turn into a desert cactus. That's scary stuff.
