Yeah, well I deplore having A. Q. Khan being held in hero status in Pakistan, while he's spread this technology around to the worst of the worst.

The same pakstan that allows the taliban and alqueida to operate freely on its soil?
The same pakistan that harbors osama bin laden?
Our great friends?

[sukhoi-30mki]

Now now now,those pesky North Koreans probably didn't invite anybody from Pakistan to watch the tests.......Just like they got a chance to visit Pakistan's N-facilities & view (No-Dong) missiles being tested in Pakistan.How outrageous!!!!!

[SouthernBoyupNorth]

Oh a strongly worded message ... ooo Ahh. About what I would expect from the UN or one of their despotic lackeys.

If Pakistan is calling upon North Korea to show restraint, well, that ship has already sailed. The US showed similar alarm back when the Soviet Union conducted their first nuclear test, in the days of Stalin (1949), and the first hydrogen bomb test (August 12, 1953), which took place after Stalin died (March 5, 1953). The Americans and the British were understandably VERY nervous at the time. And the nervousness did not subside until the total collapse of the Soviet Union, which came in stages between 1989 and 1991. Of course, by then, a number of other countries had joined the "nuclear club", but the burden of a major arsenal then fell by default upon the US.

As a military threat, North Korea's nuclear program does not make a pinch of salt, except for their bargaining position of nuclear blackmail, and the distinct possibility that the device(s) could be transferred to terrorist agencies anywhere in the world.

Islam and communism will bring the world to an end

Pakistan has already opened Nuke-Mart.Heck,North Korea was one of the first customers.

[Srirangan]

I'm sure they (Pakistan) would deplore the test after giving them the nukes in the first place!

[USMMA_83]

Islam and communism will both die...together...their time is coming sooner than later.

[RightWhale]

Probably true. If it had been Pak tech it might have actually worked properly.

[RockinRight]

They're no friends of ours, but I think they, like the Chi-Coms, realize that a nuclear Kim Jong-Il is bad for everyone. Even a convicted murderer gets nervous when the schizophrenic in the room picks up a gun and starts yelling.

[RockinRight]

I'm a bit more optimistic.

The world will bring Islam and communism to an end.

[ARealMothersSonForever]

Aslam said. ``The North Korean programme is plutonium-based

And exactly how is Aslam so knowledgable about the NK nuclear program? Maybe a little bird told him.

[sukhoi-30mki]

Or more precisely,Chinese technology in Pakistani nukes.

[RightWhale]

This is general knowledge and has been published for many years. Also known although not so widely published until today is that this device was to yield 400 kT, although it may have been a trigger for a 400 kT device.

[ARealMothersSonForever]

The Dim speakers are saying on TV that Clinton halted the NK Plutonium program. Was this pop Plutonium or Uranium? Not that it should really matter, but the "fingerprint" will identify the source of the technology, fuel, and assistance. Whether it is Chinese or Paki (still Chinese), the UN will do nothing. Everyone is talking about the yield. Nobody is saying that even if it fizzled, it was an act of military aggression.

[RightWhale]

It is a violation of the 1954 armistice. Casus belli or casus for the resumption of belli.

[ARealMothersSonForever]

Shhhh. That would make the UN appear as useless as t!ts on a boarhog. Oh, wait.....

[RightWhale]

The UN is having an emergency session right now. Have they progressed to picking the color of the notepaper they will use to send the strongly-worded message?
