3 More Nuke Tests Coming

Is this normal...? To conduct tests in bunches like this? I'm not familiar with how this "normally" works (like the testing in Nevada or in the Pacific, etc.).
It's normal when the objective is to blast deep tunnels into S.Korea so the scientists can escape.

I did come across an article, though, (I'll dig it up), that states that the first test may have triggered more than a few earthquakes around ye old "Ring of Fire". But, after looking at the plate map on Wikipedia, that doesn't seem possible, unless there is a smaller fault line that runs through that country.

Hmmm.

When you're a insane dictator of a country that thinks the best thing to do is threaten the rest of the free world if they sanction you...

sure
I was eating lunch yesterday when I heard a woman talking to a man about this. She said, "The whole world is against them, what are they thinking? Why don't we just bomb the hell out of them."

I just chuckled.

When I lived in Nevada, we had maybe one or two a year, tops.

Of course, that was WAY after development had sort of slowed down, and nukes weren't a shiny new toy anymore.

Maybe he'll test so many he'll use up all of his supply and have nothing to drop on us! Big Smile
