just 4 to 6 mother bombs and be done with it

[Old_Geezer]

Could past tests have triggered "natural quakes" ?

Hmmm, I think NK will already be aware of what the US could do. I suspect that they don't much care, they don't believe it's more than empty threats.

[DTCwordfan]

yes, OG, past nuk tests have done that - and not just Korea....faults slipping, the rock push readjusting to the cavity within...typically up to seismic 4

[mikey4444]

Although all this a worrying, I am still of the view that neither side will up the ante, and cause all out war.

DDD may look and act like a twit, but he is surrounded by people who know better.

This is just sabre rattling, albeit with very big sabres.

[DTCwordfan]

there is some denial of this.

However, whatever, the North Korean tremor looks as if it happened 31 miles away from the test site and at 3 miles depth. Underground nuclear is at 1 km depths, pea gravel, sand and whatever being used to fill the hole. However, in the States, there has been limited radiation released from some of these tests......

Why isn't our foreign secretary in N/K sorting this mess out , I am sure the very sight of him would make DDD , curb his ways.

[Baldric]

We have a [i]foreign secretary in N/K?[i] wow that's news to me.

[emeritus]

Gulliver who or what is ddd ?

[ummmm]

It's the stupid nickname for Kim jong un.

[ummmm]

It stands for Ding Dang Dong. Very mature!

[gulliver1]

I see it is very easy to confuse the Navy Infantry,

[ToraToraTora]

just toast this eejit. game over

[youngmafbog]

I tend to agree with Mickey on this except I'm not sure the big hats around KJU are any more stable. It's all about power over there.

[mikey4444]

I think DDD is well overdue to experience a coup d'état.

[Zacs-Master]

His defence minister has said that a missile targeted at the US is inevitable!

[youngmafbog]

For NK though there is a big difference between targetting and hitting.

[Zacs-Master]

True.

[mikey4444]

It doesn't really matter if a NK missile is on target or not.....the day that DDD launches an attack on America, will be the last thing he ever does.

[Zacs-Master]

Pretty big 'last thing'!

[mikey4444]

Zacs...yes, I agree, and I hope it never happens, and I don't think it will, for reasons that I already given.

But DDD will still continue to prance about on the horizon, mostly for the benefit of his own countrymen.

It helps to mask the enormous problems that the country has....classic diversion tactics.
