I have always believed that some freak accident will set off a chain of events which would lead to potentially messy resolution of N. Korea's nuclear problem, and it may not be an overreaction by some military types on a hair trigger.

A nuclear accident and resulting release of radioactive matters fits this profile perfectly. N. Korea also has a nuclear reactor whose safety is a real question mark.

We should wait until it is leaking high levels of radiation, then blow it up.

We need to soften this up with Moabs and bunker busters. We dont need another Afghanistan.

I don’t know the importance of this “retired scientist”. But a Chinese statement some weeks back listed a leak or fallout into China as something the Chicoms would not accept.

If that's true this just might be the time for the Navy/Air Force/South Korean Forces to make a move.

Although I only reached the lofty rank of SP5 during my stellar Army career even I know that this won't be resolved by "boot on the ground".It would have to be the job of the Navy and/or Air Force.

Are you trying to tell us that a slave state has low environmental standards? Who knew?

I've thought the very same thing.It seems to me that that would be an added incentive for the Chicoms to take their little poodle aside and explain a few things to him.

Maybe this accounts for Putin’s tweet this morning about a non nuclear North Korea
Russia needs its warm water port on the Pacific
Just not THAT warm

What we have here in this statement is justification.

China is now justified in doing harm to North Korea.

I’m betting the Chinese have boots on the ground to take care of Fat Boy.

As terrifying as radiation leaks could potentially be, it might be something like this to make China come around to our way of thinking. They start leaking radiation into the air and both China and Russia are going to sit up and take notice. On a map, you can see this is in the northern part of North Korea, near the border with China and Russia. Far away from Pyonyang....

....”authorities in China reported that the mountain where the explosion took place had collapsed”....

Saw satellite photos of the collapsed areas earlier today but failed to snatch them.....I’m sure Fat Boy and his co-horts didn’t figure this in to their equation.
