North Korea 'artificial' quake believed to be nuclear test

Great line, other than the small detail that men are “blond”, not “blonde” (hey, I don’t make the rules, I just had them burned into my brain in the 60’s and 70’s, back when rote learning was a thing).

I think the problem is that dirty bombs are even worse than the conventional kind, which means the equivalent in nuclear materials is a huge problem…maybe not directly for the U.S., because as you say they don’t have the capacity to fly it over to us properly, but South Korea is a major democracy and everyone’s ally and doesn’t deserve what would happen to them FIRST. Also, if any of the fallout/error in execution lands in China, then you’ve got the world’s most populous country, which is in the process of major cultural/political redefining, reacting in ways that cannot be 100% predetermined (yay, human nature).
