This is one of the most persistent misconceptions about North Korean military threats. The US, SK, and the West in general have never responded to any of those threads by shipping them any aid. Aid was only given to NK in periods of political calming and communication. And the giving of aid was usually abruptly ended and new sanctions imposed on NK the moment they initiated another military provocation. | ||

Yes. China and Russia definitely do not want to go to war with the US right now, especially if its over something as insignificant as N Korea. They have everything to lose and very little to gain.

I can't see this going on to much longer, they will just have to keep pushing until it will get South Korea and America even angrier. I just fear for all the lives in South Korea which could be killed in this war, it will be a very big one that is for sure. What about all the lives in North Korea? Their civilian population is completely innocent here, let's not forget that. | ||

In this region of the world a lot of countries have either nuclear weapons or nuclear ambitions. China, Russia, India, Pakistan, Israel all have access to it. Countries in Europe/Turkey have US shared nuclear weapons. It does not surprise me that countries like Iran and N. Korea want to have these weapons at their disposal because it gives them a much stronger foothold in the region. There are also some indications that S. Korea could continue their nuclear ambitions in 2014 when pacts with the US end. Mainly because it is quite clear the Obama administration won't risk placing nukes in S. Korea, so S. Korea will likely start developing their own. Also, S. Korea has hidden nuclear research and chemical stockpiles in the past, so who knows what they are already doing. | ||

With this much provocation from Iran and North Korea, you have to worry that eventually they'll get a real reaction.. I don't think the western countries have the stomach for the type of war that would be needed to deal with NK. Not without an attack on us or a false flag. | ||

Israel is actively assassinating scientists in Iran, training cells in the region to perform "terrorist acts" and attacking neighboring countries when they see an opportunity. Not that I am pro/anti anything, but the good guy/bad guy act the west is trying to pull off is hardly believable. | ||

It was Isreal that has always said they "wouldn't be the first" to bring nuclear weapons into the middle east right? If Iran completes them, I wouldn't be surprised if Isreal is a suspiciously close 2nd to bring them into the middle east and potentially the first to put them to use heh. | ||

It is widely believed that Israel already have nuclear weapons (probably more than the UK does in fact) but of course they haven't gone public about them | ||

Israel already has nuclear warheads, it is a public secret, but I don't think Israel will allow Iran to ever complete a nuclear warhead. They will definitely attack and are attacking before that point is reached. Currently they are just slowing down Iran by assassinating nuclear scientists, cyber attacks, and tactical strikes. They have been doing it for decades in both Iraq and Iran. I think it takes about another 10 years for Iran to even come close to completing a nuclear weapon. The current war in Syria also helps Israel a lot. So we will not see a nuclear war between Israel en Iran. It is more likely that Pakistan and India would do it than that Iran ever will. | ||

Don't worry guy in a month or two we'll be informed in the press that those multi party talks have resumed and they'll be getting their aid again. The north koreans have to make sure we see they have the serious pants on this time and they mean it. | ||

Well for now NK describes this nuclear test as "only the first response to US hostilities" and threatens a second and third if they don't change their "hostile politics". Certainly doesn't sound like it'll die down soon. | ||

The test was designed "to defend the country's security and sovereignty in the face of the ferocious hostile act of the U.S.," the North's state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said, referring to new U.S.-led sanctions on Pyongyang after the recent launch of a long-range rocket. "This nuclear test is our first measure, which displayed our maximum restraint," KCNA said. "If the U.S. continues with their hostility and complicates the situation, it would be inevitable to continuously conduct a stronger second or third measure." | ||

Certainly doesn't sound like it'll die down soon. They can "describe it" however they wish but they make it sound like they only have enough fuel for 2 more tests. Those can easily be conducted in a short period of time so they can show us how cool and awesome they are by doing this. If you want to hear something positive the latest test had a bigger bang than the previous one. 10 kilotons isn't bad for a nation under sanctions. | ||
