North Korea have now officially tested a nuclear bomb. What's next? How will the world react to this?

When was this exactly?

Can't see anything on the web.

They do seem like they're getting ready for one though so maybe the journo's are just slow to respond...

Interesting to see that the following article is from the French Press.

US detects second N Korea 'blast'

From correspondents in Washington

Article from: Agence France-Presse

US intelligence has detected an explosion of less than one kilotonne in magnitude in North Korea but has not been able to determine whether it was nuclear or not, a senior intelligence official said.

The official, who asked not to be identified, said that first-time nuclear tests historically have been in the several kilotonne range.

�We are aware that there was a sub-kilotonne explosion in North Korea,� said the official. �We have not been able to determine at this point whether it was in fact nuclear.

I wonder what the world would be like if all military weapons suddenly vanished.

frankiboy, a different time, and certainly different circumstances. What else do you want them to do? Invade Japan on foot, and risk hundreds of thousands of lives of the Allies? I think not. I'm sorry if I have taken your comments the wrong way, but geez what else did you want the US to do?

Does that mean "no"?

Are you a man or a woman? In the context of [quotefrankiboy]Hmm, I don't understand "Nth Korea test their nuclear bomb underground. " That remark was either too complex or too simple for me. We were talking about Nth Korea test their nuclear bomb underground.
