It is certainly news because China is growing tired of Pyongyang. They are trying to establish legitimacy on the world scene and little brother is undermining their every move. If China cuts off aid to the DPRK there will zero help from the outside world. Further provocative actions from Pyongyang are rebuffing Beijeng and this could have devastating, potentially catostrophic events for the stability of the region.
This is their 3rd known nuclear test, first since 2009. They're goal is to perfect a nuclear warhead small enough to place on a missile capable of reaching the US.
IMO we have publicly condemned and shook our finger at them long enough. Its time for action.
Yes, blasting countries "to the Stone Age" is always an effective policy. Surely, unstable countries dont become greater problems once there are power vacuums. Besides, there are countries in which everyone deserves to die. Good thinking.
They still have yet to perfect their missile technology. Plus from what I've saw so far, while the warhead was indeed smaller, it was still not small enough to fit on a missile. The last one they tested failed 90 seconds after launch.
