This how it
was in the 1950's above ground,

So good job this was underground,

yay well done North Korea I suppose.

I don't believe it tbh, by all accounts NK doesn't have two pennies to rub together and most of the country lives in extreme poverty. Like with most of NK's stunts, it's probably just smoke and mirrors.

Fine
they do not care what You think,

They told China whats going on.

And America does not like it.

Well what can any Nation do about it,
as they are have Missiles
ready.

And China says leave their mate alone

By the way Dezzy
are you aware that another nation can give them
free Gear to test

I mean its Feck all to do with America
they can not tell NK anything


And new underground roads can not be seen from outta space

There really isn't any good news in it ... but there are some small mercies. It was a bigger explosion than before, so they are capable of making devastating bombs, but it appears it wasn't a hydrogen bomb even though that's what they reported it as. This is at least something as it means they can't "yet" fire it at anyone

BBC earlier were saying "something went off",Whether a small test of an H-bomb or something else we don't know.Obviously not a full size one but it did measure 5.1.
Also apparently China are not behind this.I think NK is becoming more of a hinderance to China tbh.

I have a Co Manager in China
and what they give to the media
is not always solid truth.

Even the MOD say that

arista 06-01-2016 04:03 PM

China is not a backer
but get codes from N.K that tell them what just went on.


This all very normal

If they do fire it can it please be aimed at Gemma Collins whilst she's puffing on a fag in the CBB garden.:hehe:

By the sounds of things they're doing everything in their power to end up "underground" anyway.

I totally agree with you on this. I do not believe that NK have the technology to cater for atomic bomb 'testing' underground given the scale of all known above ground tests.

'Something' nuclear may well have taken place, but with the 'crown' of some surface detonated hydrogen bombs reaching from between 8 miles and 35 miles or more into the atmosphere, some really awesome advanced technology would have been needed had the 'testing' been of anything near a full size bomb.

Like you Dezzy, I do not believe it.

I suspect North Korea's main motive is their own preservation rather than posing any threat to the rest of the world. The government there isn't stupid and they know they have basically no allies in the world: China is sorta sympathetic but no closer to North Korea than they are to many Western countries. They could never defeat a major power or win a global conflict and would just bring destruction on themselves. What they can do is prevent any attempt by the rest of the world to force regime change in North Korea because no one is going to take on a nuclear armed state with nothing to lose.

She has a song for every occasion. I'd have thought oops I did it again or hit me baby one more time or toxic or me against the music or if you seek Amy or everytime or... well, anything, would work better. Apart from Pretty Girls. That's good for nothing.

What North Korea have shown is that a nuke does act a a deterrent to invasion by a foreign power. There is not one country that would dare attack them when they have that capability. Thus proving the point that you don't need to use them for them to be an effective deterrent.

:worship: ******* BRILLIANT BOTS - Oh how I wish I'd thought of this to batter the 'unilateral disarmament' brigade with. :laugh:

That is true.The US would never make the first move due to the danger to South Korea.If NK does have an Hydrogen bomb they could take out a full city with it.The only country who can make that move are SK but they won't for obvious reasons....NK's nukes.

And doesn't this destroy the feeble argument of the pro-Corbyn brigade who want us to dismantle OUR nuclear deterrent because they say it is NOT a deterrent?

If it works for NK then it works for the UK - only we have more of them and they are more sophisticated so we have more of a deterrent. :laugh:

Yep.Unilateral disarmament would be highly irresponsible and dangerous not only for the UK but Europe as a whole.
