All Fall Down

Well, North Korea has the bomb.

I'll wait to read the technical info as it comes in, but the initial results do not look promising. And just on the tails of China and South Korea claiming that this cannot be tolerated.

This is yet another bit of news that does not belong in the "Making the World a Better Place" category.

Well, it may be a fizzle, or it may be a trick (i.e., no bomb at all). The question is, will the other bombs be fizzles, and if a fizzle is 550 tons of TNT equivalent, is that still enough to serve as a deterrent. So far, the answer to both questions is probably yes, but we will see soon enough.
