North Korea "Nuclear Tests"

[JonB]

N. Korea have released a statement saying they have conducted their first "successful" Nuclear test underground. Although this is not confirmed to be true as radiation tests in China, Japan and South Korea have indicated no rise in radiation, this could be quite a momentous moment in History.

Nevertheless China has "ruled" our military action as "unimaginable" however their troops have been refused leave in anticipation of a Nuclear attack.

The full story is here.

What are people's opinions on this? Should we be scared? Are they a real threat? Tony Blair says we should be "very worried". But at the end of the article is says that Analysts agree that N.Korea are unlikely to have the technology to mount a Fizzile bomb onto a Warhead.

Will the US take military action? If they did wouldn't it put strain on their already strained military. Will Britain, the USA, Japan and China be the only countries to engage in military action if the scneario arose?

I'll be watching this thread closely, like I have the news reports.

The US won't take any action because they'll lose.

They're perfectly capable of putting nukes on missiles. However, only their short range missiles are big enough to put the bomb onto just now. Apparently one of the hardest parts of nuclear weapon development is minaturisation of the bomb to fit it onto missiles. The missiles they fired over Japan a few months ago are too small to carry the bomb they'll have just now. They could drop it from a plane or put it in a truck no bother though.

Anyone who think's there will be a winner in a nucelar war is deluding themselves. The only thing that happen's is lot's of people who have fuck-all die due to some people trying to wave their willy about/bully the other one(s).

Having said that if I could somehow excape the effect's of nuclear fallout/it been carried through the air then it would be oddly interesting, post apocalyptic scavenging anyone?

All the US can do is stand and shout from a distance.

If North Korea want to nuke someone tomorrow then in theory they could just push it out the back of a plane. In practice though, I doubt they are even close to developing something that could be used as a controlled nuclear bomb, and there's no chance any unidentified north korean plane is going to get near any developed country's airpspace.

Iran and north korea have learnt from Iraq.

With Iraq, Iraq was promised that if they complied with weapons inspectors and didnt have nuclear weapons, they would not be invaded. America invaded anyway, so the moral of the story is, you dont have anything to gain if you do as they ask and dont make nuclear weapons.

Now that North Korea has nuclear weapons, America wont invade it.

Iran doesnt have nuclear weapons yet, so America keeps threatening to invade.

As soon as Iran gets nuclear weapons it will be safe from invasion.

Although its a bit of a pain for America if countries it wants to invade have nuclear weapons, this seems to be more about Americas right to invade whoever without opposition.

If its so wrong for other countries to have nuclear weapons, why do we still have them.

One law for one, one law for another.

Having said that, the guy who runs north korea seems to be a bit of a nutter, but i guess you would have to be, to keep control of your country when everyone else wants to take it from you.

Sanctions will just hurt the people not the government, if anything it will make the people resent outsiders and be more loyal to their government.

Agree 100% with Colin1

Nowadays if you do not have nukes you are not safe from the US/UK/Israel coalition.

Remember, back in 2002 someone threw a spanner in the works of negotiations with N.Korea; wonder who that was?

If anything is to blame it is US foreign policy!
