Ok, so, most people that I call friends know a few things about me: 1. I don't ever shut up. 2. I am opinionated to a fault. 3. I love politics and discussing them. I want to share my opinions on things but I have found that some issues are too advanced and complicated for my "Note" readers to comprehend. I do not want to discuss these issues on my personal blog because That is where I bitch about life...so I decided to make this one a little more broad as I do not think anyone looks at it anyway. Today I got a lovely text from my fiance: "Hey, I'm sure you already know, but N. Korea tested a nuclear bomb underground." Much to my chagrin, I had not already read/seen this as I had some errands to run immed. upon waking up.
Funny that a few weeks ago I helped my sister prepare for an oral report on Kim Jong Il. I had made mention of how I thought there was no way that they were anywhere near real nuclear capabilities. MY MISTAKE haha. Look at the evidence though-they can't even get a successful rocket and satellite into space. Their two attempts in 1998 and 2006 were total failures, they barely got off the ground before blowing up. This past April they did manage to get a long range missil off the ground, over Japan, and into the Paciffic Ocean somewhere.
These underground nuclear bombs they are setting off are comparable to our '45 nuclear bombs. I can more comfortably say that they are no where near capable of getting them small enough to become a warhead on one of their shitty missiles. What I think our response should be is to publically stand behind China. China is a big ally to N. Korea and they are PISSED about these underground tests. Russia and Japan, though the latter really has no military, are also very upset about this new development. I say the US sits this one out and let's the regional powers handle it. It is in our best interrest to have China and N. Korea at odds, so let it happen.
