People post news items in off topic all the time, why is it that people only complain when it's not about Paris Hilton or something idiotic and juvenile?

Most of the, ahem, "discussions", in P&N quickly degenerate into something idiotic and juvenile.

At least in OT most of the time we maintain a certain level of decorum.

That worked with the Russians because they wern't insane enough to press the button. It won't work with NK because they are 10x as insane as the Russians ever were.
 
Didn't the British mistake the mushroom cloud from one of our MOABS in either Iraq or Afghnistan and report a nuclear blast?

Maybe we just took out NK's nuclear facilities?

Thankfully, the national missile defense program is pretty far along. We just need to continue development.

I'm suprised that this topic hasn't exploded- we have a hostile country, likely with ICBMs and almost certainly with nuclear weapons, and a insane dictator.

so its not a nuke??


The U.S. official said the cloud could be the result of a forest fire.

A forest fire? Since when did forest fires create mushroom clouds?!

The Chinese will keep NK in check. I don?t know what?s worse: having a nuclear power next to you or having a conventional army that could withstand your entire nuclear arsenal next to you--NK has both.
