Time to send in the B2.

Target:All of North Korea's Nuclear facilities.

If it wasnt a Nuclear test, well, Better safe than sorry.

How did we get from "Never again" to:

"in our next war, we're gonna do this!" ?

Seems like we are always looking for a way to curtail evolution.

Been surfing around a bit, and it seems nobody is certain what exactly this was. Another accident of some kind?

They say a mountain was blown up, from the way of a hydro powerplant.

US and S.Korean officials did quickly after the incident conclude it was something else than a nuke.

I know "accidents" that resulted in a 5-10 kiloton conventional explosions.

What is 1 kiloton? One railway car carries 40 tons. 25 cars carry 1000 tons of TNT. It's about as much as nazis wanted to use to blow up a Sofia cathederal in Novgorod...

Well, according to North Korea, they stated they were
only using (plutonium wasn't it?) for power generation.
Must have been one of those power plants blowing up (ya, right)
Anyways.. I have often wondered why we can tell other countries they can't have nukes when we do. Why are we
holy-than-thow when it comes to this?

I've had leaf burning incidents which resulted in a mushroom cloud. Doesn't mean I used a nuke.

If it was a nuke, seems there would be enough background heat/radiation around that it would be no mistake. I do not believe a nuke could be detinated anywhere on the planet without us (US) knowing.. Perhaps underground, but didnt the US know when Russia was doing underground test?

The arc light from the 2 WW2 bombs were said to have been seen half way around the world... right??

All nuclear tests are reported officially, according to 1963 treaty.

In 70s-early 80s there were reports in central newspapers, like "Today, at the test-ground at Semipalatinsk, was made an underground nuclear test explosion, power below 150 kiloton" or "up to 500 kiloton".
