Fat Man, Little Boy, Now “Ronery Guy”?

So Much for the Peace Ceremony

SEOUL (Reuters) – North Korea said on Monday it had safely and successfully carried out an underground nuclear test, flying in the face of a warning from the U.N. Security Council.

Even the Chinese are not amused

The US said the reported test was a “provocative act”, while China denounced it as “brazen”.
In an unusually strong statement against its ally, China expressed its “resolute opposition” to the claimed test and said it “defied the universal opposition of international society”.

Now we see the fruitful harvest of the wise policy of supplying NK with nuclear technology

The North is believed to have enough radioactive material for about a half-dozen bombs, using plutonium from its main nuclear reactor located at Yongbyon, north of the capital Pyongyang. It insists its nuclear program is necessary to deter a U.S. invasion.

Some people are pointing out that fact that this bomb was much smaller, yield-wise, than Little Boy or Fat Man; this is irrelevant. If NK is allowed to get away with this, than the Iranians will get the know-how in a matter of weeks from both the NKers and the Europeasers.
Michelle has a full link round-up.
And, Madeline, Cheers!
