Journal the_mad_poster's Journal: N. Korea Blast Poll 6
No, I didn't swap accounts with Em.
Let's take this potentially serious moment to remind everybody that this probably isn't as serious a moment as some people may think. Let's also keep in mind that if North Korea DID perform a nuclear test or an accident occurred during the development of nuclear weaponry, the first thing you could reasonably expect the government to do would be to vaguely deny that a test has occurred. In addition, I'd like to remind everybody that, while they're saying it wasn't a nuclear mushroom cloud, the initial Trinity test created a cloud approximately 2 miles in diameter. The test was a 19kt blast and would be roughly equivalent to similar tests you might expect an impotent little troll to run above ground in order to "minimize" the deaths inside his own country. Bear in mind also that the cloud appeared near the Chinese border.

- A natural disaster. (Forsest fires explode?)
- Kim Jong Il finally blew his stack.
- OHMYGODI'MGONNADIEI'MONTHEWESTCOAST!

- Who cares, I still have my bomb shelter from 1967, and the spam is still good.
- I am the Omega Man!

Plus, pissing off the Chinese by testing nukes right at their border, would be one of the stupidest things I would've ever seen.
It might also convince the Japanese to weaponize (and since the Nippon are proto-nuclear, we might have a four way atomic Mexican Standoff around the Koreas). NK's problem: they're Angel Eyes, we (the US, SK, and Japan) are Blondie, and China's Tu
