A ****ing DAY-LONG search? For a NAKED GUY WITH AN ASSAULT RIFLE? How hard can he have been to have tracked down?

North Korea’s main nuclear test site has partially collapsed under the stress of multiple explosions, possibly rendering it unsafe for further testing and leaving it vulnerable to radiation leaks, a study by Chinese geologists has shown.

Another nuclear accident in North East Asia!

The Orient really should just ban atomic weapons. They never seem to go in their favor.

Some welcome news at last! Hopefully it doesn't all fall through...

North and South Korea announce intention to end Korean War

Leaders of the two Koreas have agreed to end the Korean War, 65 years after hostilities ceased, in a wide-ranging joint announcement struck Friday, that includes working towards the complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.

South Korean President Moon Jae-in and his North Korean counterpart, Kim Jong Un, signed the "Panmunjom Declaration for Peace, Prosperity and Unification on the Korean Peninsula," at the demilitarized zone (DMZ) that has divided the two countries for more than six decades.

Following the signing ceremony, the two leaders clasped hands and hugged in a symbolic act of togetherness after a full day of meetings, including a 30-minute private conversation beamed live around world.

President Donald Trump struck an optimistic note about what he described as a "historic meeting" between the Koreas, saying that "good things are happening."

A formal end to the war will involve more than just the Koreas. Both China and the US, under the flag of the United Nations, were massively involved in the conflict, and would have to be signatories to an eventual peace treaty.
