Good god, this is worrying www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jan/06/north-korean-nuclear-test-suspected-as-artificial-earthquake-detected
Thing is, I'm never sure what information is coming out of North Korea is true or not. Could be just smoke and mirrors...or could be worse than we think...?

North Korea was worrying even without this. Is the man mad or just terminally stupid?

I'm with stupid.

He may not be clinically mad but there's always the possibility. Was hitler entirely sane. This kind of question reminds me of the ad or bad debate. Plus it raises my preoccupation with personality disorder -v- mental health problem. Sorry if I'm putting a stop to sensible debate

He is part of the debate - he seems a lot dimmer than his predecessor.

In a way, that's more worrying. He may have far less concept of the long-term effects of his actions and/or orders.
