You finally, really did it. You maniacs! You blew it up!
I really began to doubt whether the DPRK would conduct a nuclear test, but they’ve done it. I was beginning to think that they wouldn’t cross the line from insanely aggressive talk against the US, to an actual, threatening action against the US.
Because that’s the only country this is aimed at. My understanding is that traditional artillery already serves as a credible deterrent against Seoul, so nothing more is needed to secure the border. Nukes and long range missiles capable of reaching Honolulu and Seattle only have one country targetted.
