I pondered last week as to whether the North Koreans had indeed performed a nuclear test AND if a "regular-Joe" could trust any official response from the government. As of that writing, Russia had confirmed that the test was indeed a nuclear test, the French had said it was not, and America had not released a confirmation nor denial.
It is just breaking news right now that America is confirming it was indeed a nuclear test. So, I think that we can trust the test was successful since both Russia and America are confirming the news. The French response last week, while saying it was not successful, was phrased in such a way to have wiggle room that it could have been successful. So, I am going to choose to trust the government that the N. Koreans did indeed successfully test a nuclear device.
