North Korea has entered a New Era! Yes, peace and prosperity are now at hand, because they have joined the ranks of the nuclear powers.

Oh wait, I forgot. North Korea is broke, starving and their leader is insane. They’ve spent every last dime on funding their nuclear program. Not only that, but they’ve risked contaminating the ground water of the entire Korean peninsula by setting off an underground nuke. The only good news I see here is that they apparently didn’t manage to destroy themselves or their neighbors outright in the test. We’ll have to wait and see if they’ve managed to contaminate their country. While we wait it’s apparently starvation as usual for the North Korean people.
