BBC News: Reports on more tests by North Korea. The Stalinist State has fired two missiles and is expected to fire one more missile, the UN so far has condemn the nuclear test but no tough resolution. As posted yesterday, there is not much you can do with North Korea, the North Korean state is only kept going by selling its technology to rogue states, the Syrians of late it thought to have built a nuclear reactor before it was destroyed with the help of North Korea. One can only guess what deals there are between North Korea and Iran, a trade perhaps, Iran gets the know how to to built a nuclear weapon and North Korea gets a long range missile technology. The question is what will the UN and the Obama Administration do about North Korea, the problem in the UN is China, will China turn on her semi - satellite, can she risk North Korea falling apart and millions crossing the border in to China. The Obama Administration has to worry if it is seen as weak over North Korea this could be seen as giving the green light to Iran to go nuclear, thus Israel will hit Iran. If Israel hits Iran, expect Iran to hit the USA in Iraq. Thus the actions in North Korea have a link back all the way to Tehran in Iran. One could suggest that the UN checks all ships coming out of North Korea to prevent the selling of nuclear technology, but what would North Korea do, will they take even more aggressive action by this Cuban type blockade. Also the USA has to worry that South Korea and Japan will just throw their hands in to the air and go nuclear, would you want the barmy nuclear North Korea as your close neighbour. Obama could try one last throw of the dice, offer a Presidential visit to clear all this up, a security and economic agreement with North Korea, yes the problem is that it will been seen as another Munich Agreement and Obama as Neville Chamberlain but it will give the USA time to get a plan together to attack Iran or gets its forces ready for Israel to attack Iran. Lets be clear there can be no military solution to North Korea, they are a nuclear power, its to late but not the case with Iran. Thus as stated Obama has a link from Asia to the Middle East, lets hope he does not cause friction in that link.
