Exclamation N. Korea performed first nuclear test!

I just got two CNN Breaking News emails reporting the news! Most news agencies haven't updated their websites yet.

Quote:
North Korea says it has performed its first-ever nuclear weapons test, The Associated Press reports.
Edit: CNN and BBC News have something on it.

Now we're screwed, USA doesn't have the resources to get involved in another conflict while they're tied up in Iraq + Afghanistan. Add to the mix the possible threat of Iran and this is some serious ****.

Priorities need to be straightened out now, North Korea was always a much bigger threat than Iraq and now that they've demonstrated both the ability to fire long range missiles that can hit just about anywhere in the world as well as nuclear capabilities, Osama and Saddem are just a bunch of flies on the windshield

I still can't believe we've been ignoring this maniac for so long.
This wiki seems to be getting updates somewhat frequently, gonna keep my eye on it.

Perhaps, but really you can trace most international conflicts and their origins back to WWI

trying to stay back on track here (EDIT: my prediction: )

i still don't understand why iraq...

its like a negligent parent watching their kid devise evil plans, but instead of correcting these, they just go beat up some dude who was mugging a guy on 5th street.
