The US response to North Korea

North Korea has proven it is a nuclear threat not only to South Korea, Japan, and China, but a serious threat to the United States - and what response do we offer -  a vow of tough action from the United Nations Security Council in the form of a resolution.  A resolution!  North Korea is so scared I'm betting they will dismantle their program tomorrow (not).  Bring in the clowns!

North Korea's third nuclear test  was "strongly condemned" by the United States.  Not just condemned, but strongly condemned.  Pyongyang said "even stronger" action might follow, saying its test was a response to US "hostility".

Nuclear test monitors in Vienna say the underground explosion had double the force of the last test, in 2009, despite the use of a device said by the North to be smaller.

If a smaller device was indeed tested, analysts said this could take Pyongyang closer to building a warhead small enough to arm a missile.

UN sanctions on North Korea were expanded after the secretive communist state launched a rocket in December, in a move condemned by the UN as a banned test of missile technology.

'Stern' message

North Korea's latest nuclear test comes as senators in Washington prepare for the first votes on whether to confirm Chuck Hagel as successor to current Defence Secretary Leon Panetta.  (continue at BBC)

NORTH KOREA DOES'NT DO ANYTHING WITHOUT CHINA'S SAY SO. PERIOD.

Don't be fooled by the chinks playing along with sanctions, that is merely a diversion.

This essay was written by 2 PLA colonels and kept secret till the boys from Langley got a copy , and translated it.

War with China and North Korea is inevitable , and it's time this country realized it.
