I think they are not making China very happy, and China is their closest ally. China knows that if N. Korea continues this, the world will respond, and they would rather have the rest of the world stay out of Asia as much as possible.
Without China, N. Korea will have a very hard time surviving. They are pretty much cut off from the rest of the world.

It's another chip on the table for a politician to gamble with. War in the past with North Korea is a war with China. I don't have a crystal ball to tell me if there will be a war between N.K. and another country. I would think it's not very likely.

At the moment, it hasn't been confirmed, and the USGS hasn't recorded any seismic activity that would confirm it either. This doesn't mean it hasn't happened. At the moment, N. Korea doesn't have the delivery capability (their rocket launch a month or two back failed), but that may possibly also be a matter of time. I hope they have not done so, but I think if this time didn't work, it won't be long. I can only hope that the U.S. systems that are being researched to defend against incoming missles (which DID work shortly after the N. Korean launch attempt - interesting timing, no?) continue to be developed and work well.

Well I don't know what will happen. Ask Bomber Bush, he'll know. What are his feelings on Iran as a nuclear power? What are his feelings on North Korea as a nuclear power?
I remember though that during Clinton's presidency North Korea was a underwriter of the Non-proliferation Treaty. When Bush started calling North Korea, Iran and Iraq the axis of evil and stopped talking with them North Korea withdrew from the treaty. (Did it feel it would have to be able to defend itself against a US invasion???)
My thoughts? "Well Mr. Bush, you're not extremely clever."

This is one opinion published 3 years ago.
RUMSFELD
Rummy's North Korea Connection
What did Donald Rumsfeld know about ABB's deal to build nuclear reactors there? And why won't he talk about it?
FORTUNE
Monday, April 28, 2003
By Richard Behar
"Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld rarely keeps his opinions to himself. He tends not to compromise with his enemies. And he clearly disdains the communist regime in North Korea. So it's surprising that there is no clear public record of his views on the controversial 1994 deal in which the U.S. agreed to provide North Korea with two light-water nuclear reactors in exchange for Pyongyang ending its nuclear weapons program. What's even more surprising about Rumsfeld's silence is that he sat on the board of the company that won a $200 million contract to provide the design and key components for the reactors.........." Read the rest for yourself and you decide.

God help us all. I dont think that we will go to war with them, at least not unless the rest of the world is behind us....probably more talks, possibly sanctions. We need to get this mess straightened out in the middle east and get the hell outta there so we can improve our world image. We cannot live like an imperial power.

This is a strain that China cannot take. The Chinese, South Korean and Japanese stock markets will fall dramatically in the next few days.
It is no longer in China's interest to protect NK. They no longer serve a purpose for China. I would not be surprised if China invades NK.

I believe that with our current international policy, all countries that we have labeled as enemies should feel threatened and try to protect themselves. I don't blame Kim or the Iranian dude for pursuing nuclear warheads. Our incompetent president forced their hand and now they are responding.
Further, I don't see why we are able to choose which governments are able to possess nuclear arms. It seems hypocritical to me.
