Mac Johnson on North Korea’s planned nuclear bomb test:
...the world will likely be a safer place after the test. Kim Jong-Il and his dead father, Kim Il-Sung, have bankrupted North Korea in pursuit of nuclear weapons, which they believe can protect their hedgehog kingdom from the secret American invasion that never seems to happen, even though it has been “imminent” for 50 years now. Because they are so important in their own minds, they naturally believe they are equally important in ours, so they live in a delusion in which America sits and broods daily on how it might extinguish the light of the World, the last great Worker’s paradise, North Korea. (Of course, the lights are pretty much out already, thanks to North Korea’s failed power grid.)
...But consider this: if we take a higher-end estimate of five bombs as accurate, then even a single nuclear test by North Korea would reduce their total arsenal by 20%. In one great flash of glory to the Dear Leader, North Korea’s mindless belligerence will have done more to reduce their own arsenal than the United Nations, the International Atomic Energy Agency, Bill Clinton, and Jimmy Carter combined have managed to do since they first announced their “success” in preventing North Korea from building atomic bombs ten years ago
For me, the only question is how do we goad the imbeciles into testing two bombs?
...Fear the looming test if you want. But me, I’d be happy to attend it in person—carrying a cooler, a lawn chair, and a really thick pair of welding glasses.
Boom: one less bomb! Now let’s order Chinese and talk about what needs to be done: cutting off all charity and blackmail payments to North Korea and allowing it to collapse under its own rotten weight.
