Frankly, I’m a bit surprised the North Koreans didn’t conduct their test during the Super Bowl power outage:
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un “made an important decision that will serve as a guiding principle in defending the country’s security and sovereignty,” the North’s official KCNA news agency reported Sunday.
It did not specify what the “important decision” was, only that it came at a meeting of the Central Military Commission of the Workers Party. Observers speculate that Kim gave the go-ahead for another nuclear test.
To mix things up, the North Koreans may in fact conduct simultaneous missiles tests:
The government here is now watching for the possibility of two separate nuclear tests either simultaneously or in quick succession.
“There is a chance that the southern tunnel is a decoy, but we aren’t ruling out that the regime will conduct nuclear tests simultaneously at both tunnels,” a military source said.
Interesting. Sort of like burping and farting at the same time.
Look, I don’t give a shit either, yet I feel I’ve got to blog it anyway.

What I found most amusing about the circumstances surrounding the NORK’s latest pre-announced tantrum is that LMB decided the announcement alone warranted holding a meeting of the National Security Council in the Blue House BUNKER. Histrionics all around. As my friend Dan Pinkston would say, good times!
Because the blue House BUNKER is the best! and LMB would have gotten to wear his black leather jacket one last time
Does he wear that patched with the blue dragon, the white horse or the crouching tiger emblem? Or all three?
What?
But what, in real terms, does this mean or matter? It’s not like there’s going to be a war or anything because neither side is that crazy. Although I have to ask again — is North Korea a rational actor? I think it probably is, it’s just that they’re feeling frisky because of what they perceive as their “everything proof shield” that they’ll have once they have not only a nuke but the means of attacking the US with it. That mentality might lead them to do something they will live to regret. But I just don’t see anything changing for the foreseeable future.
What a joke. I’m sure that if he thought we were real in danger, he would have gone to a bunker whose existence is still top secret. Publicizing the existence of a bunker defeats its defensive purposes.
