North Korea dies with a Bang, Not a whimper.
Nuclear Exchange seals the Fate of North Korea
We knew something like this was going to happen...
Apparently, North Korea launched five nuclear missiles against China; two of them malfunctioned, not exploding but instead leaving a pile of radioactive waste. A third, aimed at Beiping, apparently detonated well before its intended target, somewhere over the Yellow Sea.
The other two missiles hit reasonably near their targets...Tianjin and Shanghai both took nuclear hits; the estimated death toll is expected to be as high as eight million.
I guess China had a plan in place, because North Korea just took something like twenty nuclear hits in response. The destruction of Hauju was clearly visible from Seoul, producing a brilliant light and mushroom cloud visible in spite of its distance (some sixty miles). At least four weapons hit Pyongyang, and the South Korean news is going nuts. They are claiming that two entire North Korean divisons have defected to the South across the DMZ, that massive firestorms can be seen across the border, and that US and South Korean forces have moved North.
Whatever remains of the North Korean government has entirely lost control of the situation, and The UN has entered an emergency session calling for an end to nuclear weapons usage and for North Korea's armed forces to stand down.
No reply yet from newly Crowned Han Wu, but we expect a statement to emerge shortly.
