The world just got a whole lot more dangerous

CNN is reporting that North Korea successfully tested a nuclear weapon and South Korean officials confirmed it. Barbara Starr just said that US officials are also substantiating the report. This is a VERY BAD THING. At this moment, Japan and South Korea are very, very nervous. Both nations have the ability to create a nuclear arsenal in a relatively short period of time.

The Doomsday Clock stands at seven minutes to midnight. I expect that this will move up a bit.
