North Korea's second nuclear test stirs outrage

[BBSA]

North Korea delivered on its threat Monday, conducting a second nuclear test that angered governments around the globe.

The North had threatened to do so unless the U.N. Security Council apologized for imposing sanctions on it following a rocket test on April 5.

The secretive communist state also apparently test-fired a short-range missile on Monday, the White House said.

Japan called for an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council. One is expected Monday, said Vitaly Churkin, the Russian ambassador to the United Nations.

The White House -- which less than three weeks ago announced a new diplomatic effort to restart stalled talks with North Korea about its nuclear program -- said the test was in "blatant defiance" of the Security Council.

North Korea is directly and recklessly challenging the international community," the White House said. "The danger posed by North Korea's threatening activities warrants action by the international community."

Couldn't agree more. The UN has been crying about this situation for years now and done absolutely nothing....quite frankly no-one gives a rats anymore.

This was not supposed to happen under the progressive new age of "dialogue and unity" under the great dark hope that is Obamasiah




@JHatman

The U.N can't do anything because it's impotent. The U.S does something then it's accused of "unilateralism", "imperialism" blah, blah, blah. Not that Obamasiah would do anything in the first place

It is probably already to late if North Korea already have nuclear weapons. We must just hope he does not sell some to this lunatic.

There's nothing to stop them if they should wish to do so

Do they not see the threat that North Korea poses?

How blind do you have to be...

 

[Kaleb]

extremely blind aparently.

 

[Alan]

Denial is probably a more accurate assessment. If they see N.K, Iran or any of these regimes as a threat, that would mean an unpleasant confrontation is on the cards and the down toilet goes their idealist "lets all be friends and live in peace" free and easy fantasy.

The UN is a useless organisation.

Perhaps if their enemies stopped posturing, maybe they would also.

 

[JHatman]

North Korea having nukes can't be that much worse than Israel having nukes

and how exactly are they "posturing"?

That's a joke right?

Stop bitching and blow us up already!

The nuclear weapons are nothing but a trump card for a poor a desperate country to get what they want ...

NK knows war means they are entirely on their own and they will be wiped from the earth, but for that to happen, a Japanese, South Korean or American city has to be destroyed, and of these countries, who wants that?

Trump card, that's all it is. NK will never use the weapons

Good for North Korea for standing up against the "World Police" and it's virtually useless lapdog called the U.N.

That's a joke right?

Boy oh boy, this is the most blatant and literal form of posturing in the history of nations . The US has a battle ready contingent plonked right on the South/North border. They literally face each other off DAILY. There have also been shots fired through the fence!

They need to relax this a bit and calm the whole situation down.
