    Russia is calling the test a Hiroshima sized device -- so we are talking about a 10-20 Kiloton weapon.

    Does anyone think this will all end when the "Great One" passes away? South and North need to reunite so we can take over Japan. ;)

    seems to me that russia would be very concerned about this....that geography dictates that.

    Good job policing your own, China. Way to be a superpower.

    Maybe you should spend less time paying kids to hack into Facebook and the OPM and a bunch of knife wielding uighurs and instead worry about the nut jobs trying to set off h bombs a few miles from your border.

    Just a thought.

    South Korea and Japan pay billions for US military occupation. Without NK's regime presence there wouldn't be an incentive to remain.

    The only protection from a bad man with a nuclear bomb, is a good country with a nuclear bomb.

    Don't worry, we are safe.
