Telegraph: Reports that North Korea is going to try a second nuclear test. North Korea is a growing problem for President Obama, he has to deal with Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran. The problem is as the Times of London has reported, it is suspected that North Korea can place small warheads on missiles. Thus North Korea is part of the nuclear club, in other words Obama has a weak hand, its a matter of what it will take to buy North Korea off for a time. Also Obama has to worry that Japan will go nuclear, if Japan thinks its National Security is at risk it will go nuclear. This will not go down with another friend of the USA, China. Thus if China does not want to get in to arms race with Japan it should consider putting the pressure on North Korea. The question is what does the loony government of North Korea want, and can Obama afford to deal at their price.
