BOOOOOM
North Korea announced 20 minutes ago that it successfully performed a nuclear test ... that is, it exploded a bomb underground. Whoop-dee-do-shit.
Now Japan will arm. China will have a frikkin infarction over a nuked Japan (although they secretly can't believe that they don't already have a hundred or so safely tucked away), South Korea has to come to the conclusion that they have been wrong all along with their sunshine policy and the American Appeasment Monkeys (DNC) has to come to the conclusion tha Bill the God Clinton was a f-ing idiot to believe them in 1994.
Why?
Could it be that the harvest in NK is even worse than thought and that there might be an implosion caused by millions of starving Koreans? Scary thought that: start a war because otherwise the whole house of cards collapses. It might even if they successfully invade the South. Independent armies rolling around setting up fuedal territories? Not so crazy. The Chinese? Maybe take a piece of NK with them too? BUt what they really do not want is to fight warlords bent on a piece of Chinese pie and lots of starving peasants to unload on them. This is a disaster for the Chinese. Long protective of the rat-assed Kim, they now look sort of foolish in that their best efforts to pressurize Kim failed miserably. Is Kim even in control? Who knows?
Of course NK claims it performed the test against a possible invasion by the US ... but perhaps to show that we have them and will use them if you mess with us doing what we intend ... or need ... to do. Like take food.
Think about Japan ... they know that there are a bunch of Taepodongs aimed them and various SCUD-2s and sundry other crap. You gotta believe that they will respond. They have to ... the Koreans (maybe justly) HATE the Japanese.
Of course, the NKs have said that they will not use these offensively, but then they denied making them at all for about 10 years, too. They also claim that these will be used for peaceful purposes ... name me just one "peaceful" use of a nuclear explosion anywhere. Just one. Right ... you can't. Although I guess you could blow a mountain out of the way to create hydro-electric power ... dunno about the fall-out though.
Folks, yet another genie is out of the bag.
Also, stay tuned for a civil war among the Palestinians: Hamas vs. Fatah. In the Hamas corner, Hezboohah, Syria, Iran and sundry Shi-ite rabble rousers. On the Fatah side, Jordan, Egypt and the Sunni Mob. Promises to raise the stakes in ugliness to new heights.
