    underground nuclear testing ... yeah lets ruin the planet from the inside out as weve allready fucked the atmosphere nw lets make the ground glow green !

    There are meetings between the chinese and south korean government happening now , Given that the chinese are usually north koreas biggest ally its a clear indication that the chinese wont stand for it . America will have there say soon as well , problem is this could be the excuse Dubya has been waiting for !

    Major error on their part imo.

    Be interesting to see how Japan and South Korea respond.

    Even the Chinese are giving them a diplomatic battering.....they're going to find themselves increasingly isolated against this kind of international pressure.

    Crazy shit happening these days :eek:

    It's not an ICBM though, it was an underground nuclear explosioin, which is scary enough but still a long way from having nuclear ICBM

    north korea have been isolated since independence... which is why international pressure means nothing.

    they've faced international pressure since conception and no one can do a thing about it...

    Its a sorry state of affairs. Will probably cause a ripple effect in the region where other countries may try and develop a nuclear program for thier own defence. Scary stuff

    But they've had a powerful ally in the form of China which is now strongly criticising them....who knows how much influence they may have with them.

    You're right to say that you can sanction countries out of any influence from the outside world however - I'm unsure what action the UN security council can/will take.

    We need to be very careful about any form of military action - the civilians of North Korea have suffered enough at the hands of their administration.

    This would have clearly been a far more justifiable target for regime change than Iraq.

    Don't N.Korea rely heavily on aid from the UN and other countrys? And apparently the government have been using the food aid to feed there army

    Why dont the UN and other countrys just stop all aid,

    Then they would get accused of being responsible for the starvation of thousands of people.

    Its impossible to wage war on a country directly these days eh.

    Governments are such fannys, just do it and teach N. Korea a lesson!!

    If we don;t do something the governments will be responsible for the deaths of millions when N. Korea start setting nukes off left right and centre

    Not everyones opinion is the same though (mine is btw) But a lot of politicians would trust them. Basically they COULD quite possibly start a third world war over this.
