Anyone else find this interesting?

"South Korea's Yonhap news agency is reporting a huge explosion shook North Korea's northernmost province on Thursday producing a mushroom cloud over two miles (4 km) wide."
- Sounds like a nuke right? But wait, you're wrong! Its A......

"The U.S. official said the cloud could be the result of a forest fire."
- Uh huh, yeaaah right.

I especially like this line right here...

"...the North's secretive communist regime..." - yahoo news.

[BobTheCow]

Well this can't be good, no matter what the actual cause...

[PyRo]

Come on guys it was obviously a Forest fire.
10,000 acers burned in a timeframe of a minute creating the mushroom cloud and the intense heat is obviously what formed the crater.

Yet another reason we should have been focusing our efforts on real threats as opposed to Iraq.

[PyRo]

It would be just a tad tougher to stage the invasion of North Korea than that of Iraq or Afghanistan. Military-wise they are a larger force with better training and equipment when compared to Iraq and Afghanistan. Ontop of that, in the event of an invasion their draft would make anything the United States has done look like a joke, this would force us to draft just about every able bodied American 18-22 to match there force. Ontop of that if they do indeed have working nuclear weapons I doubt they would be afraid to use them. American casulties would be in the hundreds of thousands if not millions.

North Korea scares me

North Korea is a joke. Their country is starving. They have no economy to speak of. Let them starve!

We could tell if it was Nuke or not. You cannot confine the isotopes to an area that size for long. tritium levels will float out of there some other low level isotopes can easily be detected.

China will take them out and if not indeed we will let them starve. In the past we always bailed them out when they would threaten this. Not any more.

A few Military people I know have told me that it has long been known the only way feasable to deal with them was the use of small tacticle Nukes. We would never invade nor would we need many people for that. Hense the logic of pulling troops out of the region. Should have been done long ago. Between the Russians and Chinese and the economic downfall, N. Korea will take care of itself. In the mean time we just have to hope they do not get any better at delivery and numbers.
