Utterly disgusting.
It is not a question of trusting China and Russian. It is now a question of Chinas and Russias integrity with regards to what is happening in North Korea. We conservatives always assumed that they had no integrity with respect to North Korea. If their assessment of Kims Little Bang ends up being vastly different from the Free Worlds assessment, they make themselves and their statements concerning North Korea, inconsequential or irrelevant. We knew that, now the rest of the World will know that.

To: PghBaldyJust out of curiosity, is it possible to fake an underground nuke test with conventional explosives? The ronery one knows we will not nuke him but it would be a heck of a lot cheaper to bluff a nuclear capacity than to build one.

That's my thinking too. Without sniffing the radiation evidence, Kim must be thinking he can use a large conventional blast dubbed "nuclear" as a bargaining chip to get the US to concede to negotiations and folk like Richardson are eating it up.
Without an explosion going "critical", all they can develop is the equivalent of a dirty bomb. A strong blast? Yes. Thermo-nuclear? Not today.
The fact they're so naive thinking the international community can't tell if it's nuclear or conventional is a sure sign of NK's isolation and ignorance of the matter.
I figure at some point Korea will clain it was actually a Nude Bomb they set off and not a Nuke Bomb.
At that point we will need to assign this case to agent 86.
It's a Hush-A-Bomb they got from Boris and Natasha.
Hey Kimmy! Watch me pull a nuke out of a hat!
Again?!
Nutin up my sleave..
Ping to a non-vanity thread...
Yea right. The only thing they have tested is my patience
A clue?
Well said.
Governor Bill Richardson (D-NM), energy secretary under Clinton, claims that we should hold face-to-face one-on-one talks with genocidal terrorist totalitarian dictator Kim Jong-il (D-NK). I concur, provided that we get to choose the venue: Camp X-ray at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. "Little dictator" Kim Jong-il fears airplane flight, so we'll transport him via US Navy vessels to that destination. If he prefers, we could hold the talks en route aboard an aircraft carrier. The totalitarian terrorist should take his entire palace corps, hundred most loyal supporters, and senior military generals to the talks.
This wound up being exactly what I thought, a big ZERO.
