North Korea Stages Nuclear Test and Fires Missile

Kaboom..

*North Korea has continued to draw international ire following a nuclear test Monday by reportedly testing several short-range missiles and threatening to set aside the Korean War armistice of 1953. A South Korean official told Yonhap, the news agency, that a night-time missile launch had been carried out and that there are signs of imminent further launches along the rogue state's West coast. The latest missile brings the total number of launches to six in the past three days. The North has warned that it may continue to launch missiles until Saturday. It is unclear whether the missiles are test-launches, or whether North Korea is seeking to dissuade South Korean and US spy planes from hovering over its military installations in order to verify its claim of a nuclear test. U.S. President Barack Obama called the action a "matter of grave concern to all nations." Japan condemned the nuclear test as a threat to peace and stability in the region. China did not immediately respond to the news. China, Japan, Russia, South Korea and the U.S. have been negotiating since 2003 to persuade the North to abandon its nuclear programs in exchange for energy and security guarantees. The negotiations led to an agreement signed in 2007, under which the North said it would dismantle its nuclear facilities.

ニュースアニメ「北朝鮮、核実験に続き短距離ミサイルも発射」
北朝鮮が25日強行した核実験の爆発規模が、最大で長崎型原爆並みの20キロトンである可能性がロシア国防当局などの観測で浮上した。実験の成功が正式確認されれば、20­06年10月の前回実験（1キロトン未満）をはるかに上回る威力で、北朝鮮は核開発能力を一段と高めたことになる。日米韓など国際社会はこれに対し、「国際平和と安全への­脅威」（オバマ米大統領）などと一斉に非難の声を上げた。韓国の李相憙国防相は同日の国会答弁で、核実験の爆発規模について、1キロトン以上から最大で20キロトンと指摘­。ロシア国防省当局者も監視施設の観測情報を基に「10－20キロトン」との見方を示した。同国が今後、ミサイル搭載が可能となる小型化を目指し、核実験を繰り返すとの観­測も出ている。韓国合同参謀本部によると、北朝鮮は同日午後、咸鏡北道舞水端里から1発、江原道元山周辺から2発の短距離ミサイルを日本海に向けて発射した。日米の偵察機­の飛行を妨害するのが目的とみられている。国連安全保障理事会は日本時間26日午前に緊急会合を行い、対応を協議する見通しで、北朝鮮への新たな制裁措置を定めた新決議採­択を視野に各国の外交的駆け引きも本格化しそうだ。

@capnhands actually, they didnt think non japanese as sub human, all the white country were conquering asian land, and japanese saw this and fought all of them off , but of course they were brutal against protesters, and china japan korea has a history over thousands of years together, and chinese always looked down on korea and japan, and talked shit for centuries,

[capnhands]

@Kleeeenex1 they considerd non Japanese to be sub human. Why else do you think every Asian country hates them?

[Kleeeenex1]

@capnhands yeah lol cause they were killing all the white people from trying to take over asia. lol they fought off the britains,french,americans,russ­ia, from trying to steal our land. and they were unstoppable thats why you guys had to nuke them. lol and you wonder why china and N korea has nukes

[capnhands]

@Kleeeenex1 if you'd study history then you'd know why they had to be nuked. Your country would have just sent them a letter saying how upset you were.

[capnhands]

if you can compare the German people to the Japanese people.The casualties would have been in the millions.

Quit trying to make me look bad. You probably didn't even know the Japanese used Korean girls as ''Comfort women''
