Suicidal North Korea

[T@T]

North Korea's state-run news agency said Thursday that the country has sent a letter to the United Nations announcing that "reprocessing of spent fuel rods is at its final phase and extracted plutonium is being weaponized."

How nice of them to put it in a letter. I wonder if it had a nice little bow on it.

Ugh, the world's fraked.

Yeah, but what did Arek Bardwin have to do with this?

Didn't they already set off two nukes? This should not come as a surprise.

I loved their role in World War Z. Very cool.

This is a defensive move if you ask me - not suicidal at all. They have all sorts of nuclear nations that hate their guts and they are probably somewhat concerned about being invaded, although I'm sure Iraq and Afghanistan have taken most of the heat off them. Announcing they are basically nuclear is just a way to say "if you attack us we're gonna drop da boom yo!" And we all think they just might be crazy enough to do it.

Frankly, it's their best play right now.

Ignore them. If they get out of hand ban all imports from China, that will solve the North Korea problem very quickly.

They were weak, more like dirty bombs. US intelligence had thought they were 2-3 years away from producing weapons grade plutonium.

Someone needs to do a strike on that plant and do it fast, Kim is a total nut and can't be trusted with nukes..period.
