Threats from North Korea

BBC News: Reports that North Korea is making threats should the UN take action over its missile launch. This is quite smart by the Communist North, they know that China will veto any strong or mild action by the UN. Thus they can seem to challenge the world but knowing that they will get away with it, very smart and canny. The Obama Administration just looks weak, all that thunder about words have meaning, well in the real world they don't, not if China has a veto. Thus the next crisis point will be Iran, Tehran will be laughing their backsides off, the West cant do anything, in the UN, Iran is protected by Russia. The sole reason is that Iran owes a lot of money to Russia. Also Iran is in the process of buying arms from Russia. Thus we come to question, what will Israel do about a nuclear armed Iran.
