Experts Warn Of Possible North Korean Nuclear Test
After the recent failure of North Korea's rocket launch test, experts are warning that the country's leadership will likely try to save face by following it up with a nuclear weapons test. According to CBS, "The rocket launch had been hailed as a moment of national pride, but it disintegrated over the Yellow Sea, earning it embarrassment as well as condemnation from a host of nations that deemed it a covert test of missile technology. In a rare move for Pyongyang, the government admitted that the rocket did not deliver a satellite, but it also pressed ahead with grandiose propaganda in praise of the ruling Kim family." The Guardian adds, "Speculation is mounting that the North will attempt to claw back some of its credibility with a third nuclear test. Recent satellite images from the site used for previous nuclear tests in 2006 and 2009 suggested plans for another underground explosion were already in place before the Unha-3 rocket broke apart and splashed into the Yellow Sea on Friday morning."
A very Un-ha first post - broke up and fell into the internet.
The star wars project was actually a success. It was only deemed a failure, as to keep our enemies off guard.
If something is so important that you feel the need to post it on the internet... It probably isn't that important.
We'd better invade then, just in case.
The problem with slashdot is that most of its users were bullied and stuffed into lockers as kids!
The tt tag was actually a success. It was only deemed a failure, because people thought it was supposed to be readable.
Really at this stage its gone well beyond a joke.
It was never a joke. Many people have died. It's dead serious.
Which isn't to say we can't laugh about it. Though any joke I can think of will fall as flat as a North Korean rocket.
