Russia on Guard over North Korea

Telegraph: Reports that Russia is putting up its guard against a War developing between North Korea and the USA. As Russia has a border with North Korea it does not want radioactive radiation coming over its border, its also has the experience of 1986 when it had nuclear meltdown at one of its plants. Thus Russia will want to be tough with North Korea but not to push it to far, the last thing Russia needs is a full blown War in its backyard, a War that didn't start but would suffer the consequences. This UN resolution is taking its time, also the UN has gone very quite, at the end of the day does Obama's words mean nothing, is Obama nothing more than an empty suite from Chicago.

North Korea is Bluffing - Obama Administration

Fox News: Reports that North Korea is bluffing in the view of the Obama Administration, the Armed Forces of North Korea are not in Battle position and the missiles launched are not seen as a threat by the USA. If it is a bluff, very good, lets call them on it, lets inspect their ships, tougher economic sanctions, pressure China to take a firmer action with her semi - satellite. If the million man army of North Korea is not is a position to fight and the short range missiles are not a threat lets give North Korea the cold shoulder, lets ignore them, let them have their tantrum, after a few months lets see if they want to talk. If the Intelligence from region is that this is a bluff then the best way to really wind up North Korea is to have tough sanctions and not have any high level talks with the USA. Lets teach North Korea that you don't have proper talks if you like an armature in International Politics.

Is the Korean War about to Re - Start in 2009 ?

BBC News: Reports that North Korea has nullified the truce that ended the Korean War in 1953, it will take action if South Korea stops its ships to prevent the selling of illegal technology. One has to ask what game North Korea is playing, it cant want a War with the United States, it will lose, the regime would fall and China would have a big mess on its hands. One can postulate that these actions by North Korea is due to an internal struggle for power, it seems the succession has become an issue, thus we could have different sides showing who has the backbone to take on the USA and South Korea. The problem for the Obama Administration and the West is that North Korea is a very closed society, thus getting any real information on the issue is hard, thus what does President Obama do about North Korea. If talks are off and if the USA and South Korea starts to blockade North Korea then the North might take action, thus a very tricky situation. One could start a blockade outside the waters of North Korea in international waters and then check the ships but the North might attack anyway, but the USA cant allow North Korea to sell technology to Iran either, Israel will attack Iran if its go nuclear. Will be interesting to see what the UN and Obama does about North Korea, appeasement will be seen as a green light to Iran to go nuclear but military action is out of the question, North Korea is a nuclear power. I wish we had full working SDI, or Star Wars, then we could take care of North Korea, Reagan as always was right.
