Uh-oh. RT @W7VOA: Seismic activity detected in #DPRK... believed to be "man-made" per various #ROK sources.
Ruh roh...
Bflr
Got the international dates screwy ~ this was supposed to be set off right at the end of the State of the Union ~ there will be any one of 7 different Buddhist hells to pay or this error!
Maybe Rear Reader wants to be the next Rope.. I mean Pope.
South Korea is a terrible ally.
I say we just give the South to the North....
At least we wouldn’t have to hear that damn Gangnam Style song anymore.
Here’s the deal China. You know how crazy as these SOBs are and they are right on your door step.
Let’s You and us be partners and take these crazy sobs finally out. You can even take over, we don’t care.
So Dear Reeder of the Peeper’s Repubric of Norf Koreerrr made something go kaboom?
It isn’t official until Pyongyang Patty announces it.
Don’t you realize the Chinese are hoping one day a nuclear N Korea will take out a US city. or one of our allies like Japan, and we probably won’t be in a position to retaliate against China for it.
That’s the game they are playing.

You rang sir?
ROFLMAO!
I suspect China would love for the North Korea problem to go away, and strike an alliance with the South in exchange for taking care of the problem.
40 minutes ago 4.9 spot on to the North’s test site.
Hammer, nail, head.
ping
Expect a ‘pointing photo op’, soon.
1 kilo down but 0 distance from seismogram?
Could NK just send in the info and fake it?

Thanks for the ping.
usgs located essentially at the NK nuclear facility = Punggye-ri Test Facility (41.278, 129.087)
So, are we going to offer a sternly worded letter or what?
What difference does it make?
No, just national security secrets.
Hell Obama may go over and help make the nukes himself.
(URGENT) Lee convenes National Security Council meeting amid suspected N. Korean nuclear test

Well 2006 was 4.1, 2009 was 4.6, so maybe a slight improvement if anything. Look for the radionuclide report.
I still have a strong feeling that they are fooling with large amounts of explosives to throw the world off. You can blow a bunch of TNT up in a deep tunnel and get the same effect and still scare people.
The UN is drafting a “Letter of Deep Concern” as we type.
I suppose they could set off a really big conventional explosives pop but it’s most likely real. We’ll be looking for any leakage that’s radioactive. Plus the seismologists are saying the earthquake is atypical meaning induced by an explosion.
I’m not real comfortable with strange creatures having nuclear toys.
#ROK media: South Korea has raised military readiness posture and government calls emergency national security meeting.
Apparently it went off at 11:57 AM in Korean Standard Time.
Well, remember the Ryongchon explosion happened 2 years before the first nuke test in 2006 and it was a huge amount of ammonium-nitrate fertilizer? Why not use the free fertilizer that you get from Japan and South Korea, turn it into a bomb, blow up a tunnel, and terrorize the world with it?
A nuke has a much faster rise time than any chemical explosive. Makes a different signature.
We’ll fly a spy plane with an air sniffer to look for fugitive isotopes to confirm.
We have shot many “huge piles of high explosives” and know what they look like seismically, like Misty Picture and Minor Scale.
With that kind of a track record, I’m sure the South and ourselves kept track of what went in before the explosion.
Why do you think this?
Anyway we can look at the quake spike and compare it?
media report not saying to what level WATCHCON raised. 4 is normal and 1 is war
I’m sure the trace is out there but I could not find it in 5 or 6 minutes.

Best I can do, I have to get offline soon (walk on beach).
We could nuke them back to the stone age, except they’re already there.
And that’s why we need or needed to take out their nuke capacity, despite the fact the consequences could be quite devastating.
Though if I had to bet, the N Korean leaders do not really want a big war they could lose.
It will serve the same purpose it always does. The west will trip over themselves sending food, fuel and the rest on the solemn promise they will never ever never pinky swear do it again.
And the next time and the next...
South Korea gave shipments of 300000 tons plus to NK in 2007 and looks like NK has been receiving tons of aid from other sources.
North Korea makes urea based fertilizer en masse, hence conversion to tons of urea nitrate is feasible.
Urea nitrate has 2X the detonation velocity of TNT so half the amount?
Someone with explosives background tell me if this is feasible.
Probably hacked into the seismic network from the N.K. Internet.
Maybe Kim Jong Un just farted next to NKs only seismogram.
