I don't get this NK bomb thing at all. Why do governments bother to condemn this action by the North Koreans? Why does the UN do its huffing and puffing, then quietly shut up?
The way I see it is that NK will do whatever they damn well please and no one is going to really stop them. If they set off nuclear bombs in tests on their own territory isn't a that a good thing? They are simply using up their fissionable (fissile?) material.
Of course we would like to not let them sell their technology to others, but that seems easy to do. Simply sink every ship that leaves North Korea in an accident. I think you could even pay some Somalian pirates to help you out with that. Or you can let counterfeit parts that don't work so well be imported.
Or if you cut off their money for outside trade, that might work as well. They might get mad and force the issue, but so what?
I imagine that technological drawings can be passed in diplomatic pouches, but can't all internet, phone, and satellite communication be accidently scrambled or cut off?
Anyways, what's the big deal with this? I would not make any government press releases and just let some accidents happen. What are your ideas?
