A nuclear weapons test byNorth Korea "would pose an unacceptable threat to peace and stability in Asia and the world," the US State Department spokesman said in Cairo.

"A provocative action of this nature would only further isolate the North Korean regime and deny the people of the north the benefits they so rightly deserve," Sean McCormack said.

"The US will continue to work with its allies and partners to discourage such a reckless action and will respond appropriately," he added.

And just what will be the US's 'appropriate response'?

North Korean leadership has a very clear understand of what happens to countries that do not have weapons of mass destruction, courtesy of the US invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan.

 

[The Question]

In this case, I'm not so sure NK isn't trying to develop some heavy artillery.

Of course, I'm also more amused by it than anything else, considering how well their previous test went, what with the test missile going "Poof!" 40 seconds after launch and all. :lol:
