| 2010-08-10 |
| SEOUL, Aug. 7 (Yonhap) -- North Korea will not abandon its nuclear ambitions despite international sanctions, and may conduct its third nuclear test in the near future, a former senior North Korean official said in an interview aired Saturday. "North Korea believes nuclear arms are its most important defensive tool, and the country will not abandon its nuclear ambitions," Hwang Jang-yop said in an interview with the South Korean national broadcaster KBS. Hwang, a former secretary of the ruling Workers' Party and the highest-ranking North Korean official to defect to South Korea, is the author of North Korea's "juche" or self-reliance ideology that forms the backbone of the country's regime. The 87-year-old man also said the communist state may conduct a nuclear test in defiance of international sanctions. |

| #3 Nah. Keep telling them that we can't detect the tests, and we don't believe they're working. Hopefully they'll work through a significant fraction of their fissionable supplies, and we might even score an actual accident with engineering casualties. |

| #2 I sincerely hope some non-moron in our giverment will realise what a perfect opportunity has been handed to them, drop a real nuke on their "Test" It'll reduce their efforts to rubble(Hopefully along with all their scientists and any officials watching) and eliminate their Nuke ambitions, hopefully forever. |
