North Korea didn't drill 10km down into the earth, they dug into a mountain. And if you're testing nukes with a limited stockpile of fissile material, you're doing it on a smaller scale than making 5.0+ earthquakes 6 miles underground.

Then they're still investing in digging a deep hole. That's not exactly a cheap endeavor, and we likely would have satellite images of the spoils pile because Trump would be up posting them on twitter right now.

E: looked at usgs. There were two earthquakes at about the same depth (10km), something like 7km apart.

I’m really surprised they were allowing flights at that time.

Since it’s the wildest timeline I’m half expecting something absurd like that valujet flight that went down in flames because they loaded a bunch of oxygen canisters next to the wheel well.

You know, when south park made the Mr Garrison bombs the gently caress out of denmark because Mr Slave said he was a punk bitch joke in the trolling arc I thought they were being a little unfair even to this colossal fuckup. They made that joke like three loving years ago before they said they were done with trump because it wasnt even funny for them anymore. That poo poo wasnt suppossed to come true.

Wh... what is this monstrosity?? :stare:


Natural earthquakes have a different seismographic profile than nuke-caused quakes. If USGS says it was a natural earthquake, there's no reason to go all conspiracy theorist and speculate that Iran used the distraction of the missile strikes to secretly test a nuke.

Dumb question, what's the Iranian IRBM inventory anyway, is it in the low hundreds, upper hundreds, 1k, 2k, 5k? Basically how fast would they run out?
