Following a weekend missile test by North Korea, the United States has called a UN Security Council meeting to discuss the nation. The meeting is scheduled for Wednesday afternoon.
North Korea has carried out 15 weapons tests so far this year. US officials say such tests are a “threat to international peace,” and are looking for new UN Security Council measures against them.
That seems unlikely right now, as both China and Russia are said to oppose taking any new action on North Korea at this time. South Korea’s president-elect is keen to take a hard-line on the north, and its likely that this is at least part of the US motivation to call a meeting.
State Department officials say they want the UN to recognize what they have in the past about the North Korean tests. It is noteworthy, however, that the US has itself been very inconsistent on whether the tests are an emergency to react to, or something to just ignore.
Despite it all and calling him The little rocket man, only Trump crossed the DMZ.
Trump never took command of his own government, always running scared of national security state, K St., the DoJ, and Israel Lobby. He did nothing but gross and failed attempts at pacifying them with gobs of the blessed long-green. So that in the end he amounted to no more than a pile of twitts.
“North Korea has carried out 15 weapons tests so far this year. US officials say such tests are a “threat to international peace,” and are looking for new UN Security Council measures against them.”
The ultimate in the pot calling the kettle black.
The US could allow S. Korea to sign a peace treaty with the DPRK; a peace treaty the US has not allowed its US occupied client state S. Korea to sign since 1953.
