not for the lack of trying, but NK's test seems to be a bit of a dud...apparently the event readings from the area in question are unusually low for a nuke test.

all the talk about sanctions is pretty laughable, this is the UN we are talking about here. just like the sanctions worked in iraq they will work just as well in NK.

What are they going to "talk" about with those nutjobs? And what's "talking" going to accomplish anyway? Everyone's made their positions clear.
It's just more of the blame america for everything propaganda that they won't "talk" with rogue nations. |
