North Korea wants to be an attention whore again...

Seems North Korea claims to have tested their nuclear weapon a short time ago.

I say we park five Trident Nuclear Missile Submarines off their coast permanently now. More than likely, this will cause Japan to go nuclear for defensive purposes. It'll throw that entire region into their own 'cold war'.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

But true to American nature, we always overdo it. We burn their land, and burn it some more. Then we come back the next day & do it all over again. Besides, parking five instead of one... strength in numbers. North Korea does have a tiny little navy. Maybe a submarine or two.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
