Hello
On Sept 9th 2016, North Korea went ahead with yet another Nuke test, this time much more powerful and has rang alarm bells all over!
From article
The United States, Britain and France pushed the United Nations Security Council on Friday to impose new sanctions on North Korea over its fifth and biggest nuclear test as the 15-member council condemned the move by Pyongyang.
North Korea conducted the nuclear test on Friday and said it had mastered the ability to mount a warhead on a ballistic missile, ratcheting up a threat that its rivals and the United Nations have been powerless to contain.
"Weakness is simply not an option, North Korea will have to bear the consequences of its actions and provocations," French UN Ambassador Francois
Delattre told reporters. "France calls for the adoption as soon as possible of a new resolution."
Funny (or scary) how its the country with the least amount of nukes that scares people the most, probably cause they're stupi9d enough to use them. And looking at the 14700 Nukes only between the US and Russia, why would any one need so many nukes, they could destroy the Earth dozens of times and still have some left over!
And now the US is trying to flex a muscle to intimidate them (with reason)...but I am not too sure they (NK) will even take notice!

from article:
The United States on Tuesday sent two nuclear-capable supersonic bombers streaking over ally South Korea in a show of force meant to cow North Korea after its recent nuclear test and also to settle rattled nerves in the South.
The B-1B bombers, escorted by U.S. and South Korean jets, were seen by an Associated Press photographer as they flew over Osan Air Base, which is 120 kilometres from the border with North Korea, the world's most heavily armed. The bombers were likely to return to Andersen Air Force Base in Guam, without landing in South Korea.
Such flyovers are common when the always high animosity rises on the Korean Peninsula, which is technically in a state of war as there has never been a peace treaty to officially end the 1950-53 Korean War.
South Korea does not have nuclear weapons and relies on the U.S. "nuclear umbrella" as a deterrent to North Korea. Washington also stations more than 28,000 troops in the South, and tens of thousands more in Japan.

Last week's nuclear test, the North's fifth, was its most powerful to date. Pyongyang's claim to have used "standardized" warheads in the detonation
makes some outsiders worry that it is making headway in its push to develop small, sophisticated warheads that can be mounted on missiles that can reach the U.S. mainland.
Scary isn't it! I just cant wrap my head around what is to come out of all this, There are already so many sanctions imposed on them that I cant even think of anything else they can do...I mean what can you to a county who's leader doesn't care what the rest of the world says, thinks or does...
