KOREA CONDUCTS IS 3RD NUCLEAR TEST TODAY!! (2-12-13)
that little yippy dog is barking again! the UN and USA talk of Sanctions again and verbally "Strongly condem" the test. It always cracks me up when a complaint is filed with the UN or everyone gets together and says we strongly disapprove of this action, as if their disapproval means squat.
We have shunned them on the playground. We have sent them to bed with no dinner (litterally). what more can we do aside from blowing some stuff up??

The reclusive North said the test was an act of self-defense against "U.S. hostility" and threatened further, stronger steps if necessary.
It said the test had "greater explosive force" than the 2006 and 2009 tests. Its KCNA news agency said it had used a "miniaturized" and lighter nuclear device, indicating that it had again used plutonium which is more suitable for use as a missile warhead.
The magnitude was roughly twice as large as that of 2009, Lassina Zerbo, director of the international data centre division of the Vienna-based Comprehensive Nuclear-Test Ban Treaty Organization, said. The U.S. Geological Survey said that a seismic event measuring 5.1 magnitude had occurred.
Despite its three nuclear tests and long-range rocket tests, North Korea is not believed to be close to manufacturing a nuclear missile capable of hitting the United States.
