I don't know how it is with you guys but a month can't pass without reading something about the loony piggy Kim Jong-Un and his distractions in his kingdom of North Korea (yes, I know technically they're a communist republic but come on people, this guy suceeded his father in power how at his turn suceeded his father so that's clearly some monarchy stuff under the rug...)
This time he launched a fifth nuclear test, firing a missile to celebrate the 68th anniversary of the country's split ... I mean independence. As always the press gave lots of records on these facts (maybe this is why he is launching them, to get media attention when he's feeling neglected) and as always the major powers goverments limited to criticizing and condemning and whatever they do to impress us common-people into believing that they really care.
Actually they don't, despite the regular threats the North Korean regime knows they could never launch a nuke attack and survive. Maybe they could hit Seul or Japan or some other city relatively close by but then what? Bye-bye piggy, you will have to face the music of retaliation. And the others have more nukes and bigger missiles.
Anyway I tend to classify these North Korea nuclear tests as entertainment news and I wonder how long until they will be moved from serious journals to tabloids and scandal papers.
