There go those North Koreans again, showing off. Well, I guess they really do have nuclear weapons after all.
I suppose the antics could be all about Kim Sung Il trying to prove the whole effort to make these weapons was worth it enough to let him make his son something of an heir.
This seems to be disturbingly like a monarchy especially if we are going down to the third generation.
Of course North Korea wants to get something out of its nuclear weapons but may find that they are not particularly useful. Maybe they want to sell them to everyone and make money. Whether or not they will be able to do this with increasing international scrutiny is unclear.
Of course the United States tested a couple thousand nuclear weapons or was it more like a thousand. Many of them were tested above ground polluting the whole earth with radioactive fallout. Somehow it wasn't a big deal then!
