re: #784 lawhawk

It wasn’t that it was bigger. It was that it worked. The last test in 2006 was a fizzle. They solved the problems, and it detonated with a force of 10-20kt, which puts it in a Hiroshima/Nagasaki class weapon.

The UN issued a statement warning of future action on North Korea. President Obama issued a statement, and then went to complete his round of golf.

Business as usual. And North Korea continues building its nuclear arsenal.

The world yawns (actions speak louder than words).

Golf after the North Korean blast. Reminds me of the end of Caddyshack. Maybe he’s hoping the next one will knock his ball in.
