WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. officials say North Korea's military has informed China it intends to carry out a series of underground nuclear tests, NBC News reported on Tuesday.
No further details were provided in the report.
The United States said North Korea had moved equipment into place that may indicate it plans a second nuclear test, despite international condemnation of its first underground nuclear explosion on October 9.
North Korea has denounced U.N. sanctions over its nuclear test as a declaration of war.
I wouldn't be so sure their supply is limited, they do have some. whatever that means (there's more available from where it came from). The situation (lack of a strong US response) is not good. It can become good, but we need a strong response, I hate to say it, but the "John Kerry half of the country" are keeping us from handling the situation properly and authoritatvely.
Definitely.
The only way to deal with the Norks is by telling them we definitely have the bigger stick, and we will use it upside their head if they step one iota across the line.
Thats the old fashioned American way...and the right way.
Case in point:
The best they can do is a one kiloton low order nuclear explosion.
The best we can do is turn them into a giant smoking pit...in about 15 minutes time.
Its all a matter of context.
Bump...
I like your tagline but you forgot about Chia Pet's 20,000 some odd movie collection.
I'm up late, can't sleep here in Alaska. Waiting and watching for a bump in the night that isn't from a moose, a bear, or earthquake. LOL

TOKYO (AFP) - US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice arrived in Tokyo on the first stop of a four-nation tour to rally pressure on North Korea after it tested an atom bomb.
Rice said she would use her talks in Japan and South Korea to reconfirm their security alliances with the United States.
"The way to deal with the security threat it poses is to draw on the very strong alliances that we have with South Korea and Japan on which they can fully rely for their security from this specific threat," Rice told reporters on her plane.
Rice is due later to visit South Korea, China and Russia -- the other countries involved in stalled six-way talks on ending North Korea's nuclear program.
The top US diplomat, spearheading a drive to contain the Stalinist nation, is pushing a US-led stop-and-search programme designed to cut off any trade in illicit weaponry.
The diplo speak of "on which they can fully rely for their security from this specific threat" is very easily translated. The USA will respond to, and eliminate any hostile act. While interdicting DPRK commerce. Game on.
Howdy backatcha! It's 11:31 p.m. here now. I don't worry too much about the bears but I do keep an eye out for them. Also helps my confidence to have my trusty 12 ga. nearby at most times.
There's been some bear troubles lately near our cabin, but not at our place. A grizzly has been on a walk-a-bout, tipping over a generator, fuel tanks, a few coolers, garbage dumpsters, and even stealing a bag of clothes.....oh, and leaving footprints on some cabin windows. LOL They're looking for a snack before bedtime....bedtime=winter. ;)
Thanks for the latest, ARMSF. Hopefully this will all blow over....minus any radiation detections. sigh
I'm headin' to bed now. Don't let the world end without letting me know. ;)
"Bears will be Bears",,(sorry,couldn't help it),;0)
Sounds like ya'll are in Gold country,,,
GPAA Member,?
all I can see happening is they are putting Kim Ill in international rehab
and they ain't getting it
lil' kim is giving his chess master (china) more reason to be proud of lil' kim (the pawn). Give it up china, America sees through your game...... and past your lil' (pawn) kim.
They have plenty and their reactors produce more every day. It doesn't take that much to produce a very small nuke, he has enough for 20-40. He is developing cores for fussion devices. The next one will probably be very small also, but sooner or later one will be very large, and Kim will have his H-bomb.
Sounds very series!
PFD anticipation? LOL
I'm down near Wasilla, good to hear nother Freeper from Alaska!
And thumbing your nose in the wrong direction is an act of war. Worry, worry worry. The problem with "the problem with" is that it is a loser's expression when spoken or when listened to.
