re: #772 turn

Yes, working on that strongly worded resonse right now. I see that bomb was like way bigger than the last one - oh great.

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).
