True. Bit of a dilemma for the fat little megalomaniac.

Big ones by the sound of it.

how long will it be China finally does something about this loon?

He is plainly beyond their control and getting more and more dangerous each day

North Korean as a buffer has become a liability.

I wonder how much Chinese assistance went into this test?

China is getting quite cosy with the South Koreans these day's.

We live in interesting times.

I would be looking at the guest list and not really expecting China to be there. Wonder if any Iranians went out for a sun tan.

Probably a daft idea, but could IS ever get pally enough with NK to buy this sort of weapon?
They allegedly have enough cash to possibly entice the Chunky one.

Considering how NK "landed a man on Saturn, and flew him back to Earth the same day, while watching the whole mission on binoculars", not to mention their new jet fighters (cardboard mockups), what's the chances this 'nuclear' explosion was just a big hole in the ground filled with a few lorry loads of fertiliser and sugar?

[jmorgan]

I expect they are having a sniff to determine if it is so.

The North Korea TV service seems a bit like the BBC.

How much would you need to measure 5.1 on the richter scale?

For a 6.0 on the Richter Scale you need roughly 15 kilotons (15,000 tonnes) of TNT equivalent to 63 Terrajoules

Not huge by nuclear standards, but a fair bit beyond a few lorry loads of fertilizer

Exactly. So likely true then.
