War?! North Korea conducts Nuclear Test
NOOOOO! I’m going to South Korea in November! Apparently NK tested a nuclear weapon. This will probably lead to JAPAN arming themselves with nukes, and cause a complete instability in the region. Japan’s new right-wing nationalist leader Shinzo Abe has dedicated himself to returning Japan’s glory (and army). His more moderate predecessor Junichiro Koizumi had called for pre-emptive strikes on North Korea. Maybe we should just LET Japan do the work for us, like we do with Israel.
Anyways the official report from the DPRK’s news agency is:
“The field of scientific research in the DPRK (North Korea’s official name) successfully conducted an underground nuclear test under secure conditions on October 9 … at a stirring time when all the people of the country are making a great leap forward in the building of a great prosperous powerful socialist nation,” KCNA reported.
“The nuclear test was conducted with indigenous wisdom and technology 100 percent. It marks a historic event as it greatly encouraged and pleased the KPA (Korean People’s Army) and people that have wished to have powerful self-reliant defense capability,” KCNA reported.
“It will contribute to defending the peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and in the area around it.”
Uhh, what mularchy “peace and stability” this will cause so much instability.
What’s worse is that Bush will probably go to war over it in which case I gotta move up my flight and bring my korean girlfriend here, so granted I do have stock in not wanting war. I mean I don’t see many other options myself. I just wish we had a good enough CIA to assasinate Kim Jong Il. Granted North Korea’s practically impregnable, but maybe we could support SK intelligence enough to get the job done though they wouldn’t do attempt it without 100% certainty to avoid war.
On another note I now regret spending thousands on the plane ticket, since the prices for flights to korea probably just dropped WAY down.
