From the BBC:

orth Korea in nuclear test claim S BO S IIMA E IIMA S SF Reports from North and South Korea say the communist authorities in North Korea have carried out their first ever test of a nuclear weapon.

The North Korean state news agency said the underground test was a success.

In South Korea, President Roh Moo-hyun convened a meeting of his top security officials following the reports.

North Korea said last week that it planned to test a nuclear weapon, in defiance of international warnings, because of what it called US hostility

Fucking gay, each one they test fucks up our world even more. As much as I'd love nuclear winter for the mad powder it would produce, I fear we would only live to see a few epic winters.

Honestly, there's no need to worry. The only way they could ever hit us was if they smuggled it into the country. Our missle defense systems are way too efficient just to take out an a-bomb.

I am not too worried about the US.  The North Koreans can't really do shit to us, so we won't end up doing that much.

but think of it in a Global perspecitve.  Now the Japanese are flippin shit.  They might try and become nuclear capable. Then the South Koreans will want to become nuclear capable as well.  This is going to piss the Chinese off all to shit.  Things could just get really scary in that sense

My hope - China and Japan need to work together and resolve the issue.  They are the two most powerful countries in the area and this situation pisses both of them off.  The South Koreans are nothing in the minds of the N. Koreans, so they really wont matter much.  But Japan and China, hopefully, will be able to deal with and resolve the situation. 

Either way, anything involving Nuclear weapons should scare anyone.

It isnt just the US being angry here.  The other countries in the area are much more pissed off and have much more to loss than the US.

Hate to break it to ya but our "missle defence system" is pretty much non existenctnat. The only successes were had in extreamly controled situations with pre programed trajactory and even then there were missess.

I wouldednt be too worried though, I would be extreamly worried with two pacifists like G Dub and Kimmy boy we are in for a real show. Remember we have "A war President" We might just get a war this time instead of in Bum fuck Iraq right in our own back yards.

Dammit there is so much cool shit happening right now from genetics, to computers, to physics. And now it is all going to end.

Steven Hawkings predicted it, the world will end in this century, the smart ones should get off the planet.

ya because it only matters if the bomb would hit the us. you stupid fucker. i hop the nuke lands in fucking new hampshire. ya fucking tird. and smuggling shit into the us is so fucking hard. what about the other billions of people outside the us? this is the beginning of the end. we are all fucked. we cannot deal with afghanistan,iraq,iran,north korea,russia etc etc. were all fucked. your ignorant if you dont think this is a HUGE fucking event. who the fuck cares about mark foley. north korea wants to fucking nuke us and we may not be able to stop them. if im right about 911 being an inside job the gov might let north korea nuke us. this is all beyond fucked up. and mitch dont try to play it down because thier last missle test failed. i know thats something you would do. a nuke going off in todays world is catastrophic. the next couple of months before 07 are going to be intenese.

Here is how this could turn into a good thing for the US: China, Japan and South Korea all start to put pressure on North Korea to disarm. North Korea says fuck no and starts to feel thretened by those countries, they attack China and desemate chinas millitary capablities quickly in a pre emptive strike. The Chinnese then need another Nuclier power to back them up. The US says yes if the chinese agree to forgive all US debt that they own and then the US walkes in and destroys the shit out of North Korea. and no longer owns hundreds of billions of dollers to China. and china is no longer a growning economic threat to the US, it would be great for the US and horrible for the world.

Wow, just wow. First of all don't even act like you know anything about the military developments in this country. Nobody knows, but there has been video and many tests (civilians allowed to witness) on this subject. Obviously it's going to be a controlled situation...IT'S A TEST. They don't want to use any real nukes, but they made it as real as possible. You're thinking way too far back to the 80's tests. Recent ones have been perfectly sucessful and have a good probability to work in a situation with unknown variables.

We have rocket scientists and some of the smartest people in the world working on this system, I'm pretty sure they know what they're doin a hell of a lot more than you.

Drama, Drama, Drama. North Korea will never launch a nuke, it's all buildup. He knows damn well if he hits the US or any US ally, North Korea will be non-existant.

You guys should be a hell of a lot more worried about Pakistan and India being in a war rather than North Korea with an underdeveloped a bomb.

I hate to say it, but this world needs a war. Obviously I don't want the US to be in it, but planet earth can't even suppourt this many people. Wait until countries like China and India have fully developed and they are consuming 3 times the resources we are. Let me tell you right now, there's not enough. There will be wars over food and water. The worst thing is fighting an enemy with nothing to live for.

Oh and FuckThePolice, you're still an idiot trying to create a more meaningful place in history for the world.

With a population 5 times what the US has. In a fair ratio, N America and europe still consume the most resources per person.

China and india consume a lot, but there population also many time larger so they actually get less per person.

Like I said, wait until they ARE fully developed and have the ability to get what they want. Believe me, you're going to see a lot of everyday resources become scarce in the next 10 years. Wait until there isn't enough water for everyone to drink, or enough food for everyone to eat.

you are serisouly a moron... 9/11 wasnt an inside job, you probably have watchd those Penny videos and others movies about all of the evidence that says the U.S. knew about 9/11 well it wouldnt take a couple of computer genius's more than a couple of months to edit movies like that perfectly so morons like you believe them. But i do agree with you on the bomb issue. The world is going to be very unsafe within the next 25 years.

None of this changes the premise of mutual assured destruction for major nuclear powers. North Korea just tested a bomb that was 1/12 the power of the Hiroshima bomb that we used 61 years ago. So they could destroy what? Fisherman's Wharf? One quarter of the front side of Vail? At worst a major sports stadium? And if they did attack the US or any US interests, North Korea and all the people in it would cease to exist.

Yeah they have the technology to develop bigger bombs, but they know we could destroy them 2 million times over. As far as I am concerned, the biggest threat here is the "Team America" scenario of North Korea supplying nuclear weapons to some sort of terrorist organization. But if they do and there is even a hint of suspicion that they were involved we will make it so that no living organism will live in North Korea for a few thousand years.

All that the world needs to do to North Korea is ignore them. Leave them alone, stop giving them food, and they will shut the hell up and realize the glorified third world power that they are.

Mitch is right, Kim Jong il may be insane, but he's not stupid. He's not going to risk Norh Korea becoming a scorched earth policy. It's a lot more fun to threaten people than to actually fight an uneven war.

wtf? you all really need to check the facts, i've been fllowing this for a week now... they haven't confirmed it yet!
they confirmed that north korea confirmed it, also that there was some seismic activity.
don't freak out, yet.
if this is true though it will be interesting, not world ending calm down people.
I'm going to go ahead and assume FTP already drank his kool-aid though, so that will help calm the situation down a bit, no more...
