North and South Korea are locked in a dangerous arms race. Pooty Poot may be about to make this worse.

North Korea on Monday claimed it had tested a new weapon capable of far greater destruction than the ballistic missiles in its arsenal.

The Hwasong-11Da-4.5, which has a 4.5-ton warhead, follows South Korea's development of multi-ton warhead ballistic missiles, designed as "bunker busters" that can take out North Korean nuclear bases, amid an intensifying arms race on the peninsula.

The South Korean military called the announcement a "deception," claiming North Korea had botched a test in which a missile crashed near Pyongyang.

The situation could get more dangerous in the wake of Russian President Vladimir Putin's new security alliance with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

A big chunk of the world's resources will go to military weapons.

We need those resources for other problems.
