UN Gets Tough with North Korea

The New York Times: Reports that the UN is getting ready to be tough with communist North Korea, the five permanent members of the UN have agreed tough measures from the inspection of ships to financial sanctions on North Korea. The Times writes the following on the inspection of North Korea ships by UN States, ".... they have “reasonable grounds” to believe if it contains material related to the nuclear program or weapons. It says any such material should be seized. " This could be a trigger for North Korea to take military action, also it could cause problems for the Obama Administration, what if the USA inspects a ship and it contains nuclear material on the way on Iran. This could be Cuban Missile Crisis all over again, the question is Obama up to the standard of JFK. Also there are the two US reporters being held by North Korea, also North Korea is looking like its planning other missile launches, from short to long range missiles. The NYT reported of late that the Obama Administration has thrown in the towel with the idea that North Korea can be persuaded to give up its missiles and its nuclear bombs. Thus expect more tension in the region folks, no easy answers, North Korea is a nuclear power, it can launch short range nuclear missiles, thus expect South Korea and Japan to go nuclear within a few years.
