It’s Official: North Korea Rules the World!
“If the Security Council, they take any kind of steps whatever, we’ll consider this is (an) encroachment on our sovereignty and the next option will be ours,” Deputy Ambassador Pak Tok Hun told reporters. “Necessary and strong steps will … follow that.” [Reuters, Louis Charbonneau]
Thy will be done!
Efforts to reach an agreement on sanctions at the Security Council look firmly deadlocked, with Russia and China insisting that North Korea did not violate the resolutions that their ambassadors obviously haven’t read.
The denial of this permission slip by two malevolent, unrepresentative regimes should cause further reconsideration of the U.N.’s role in our national security policy (how about “none whatsoever?”). I’d argue that the Security Council has become an impediment to the prevention of war, proliferation, and genocide. We should seek to create an alternative international framework that excludes China, Russia, and other unrepresentative governments, with an aim to eventually withdraw and let the failed U.N. experiment expire from a lack of funds.
I would like to know how to take Russia and China out of the picture. I think that would solve part of the problem.
There’s a dog out there with a bone between the jawbones and the message for the whole world is: do not dare to take my bone! Ok, they master the multi-stage rocket technology, they master the technology of nuke-blast but they don’t master nor the miniaturization needed or the complex process of building a warhead, yet. Let’s say 10 years. It is enough? In 10 years a successor of Obama and maybe the next US president will have to deal with this fat-sadistic-cognac-sipping-commie, presuming this guy will live enough to see many more NK ICBM successful launches and the US administration change. Then what? Imposing sanctions in 2019 ? Maybe China will be finished with the communist ideology for all and Russia will be more democratic than today and the Security Council will function better.
