UN and North Korea

The New York Times: Reports that the Japan has called for an Emergency Meeting of the UN Security Council, the NYT writes the following, "... an urgent meeting of the Security Council was expected to be held on Monday.." As before there will be critical words, but a mild result as before, even the previous mild rebuke sent North Korea in to a rage, they walked away from talks. Thus after a few days of seething by the World Community, we will be back at the start, the Obama Administration will have to find what North Korea wants, so far the Obama Administration has not had much luck on that score, North Korea seems to be in some kind of internal succession struggle, thus they show their teeth then walk away. Think Iran but more tedious talks sooner or later.

2nd North Korean Nuclear Test and Short Range Missile Test

Sky News: Reports on Communist North Korea's 2nd Nuclear Test and Short Range Missile Test. This second test was expected in a few weeks, the timing is a surprise, another shot over the bow of the Obama Administration, this will drive Obama bonkers, he keeps going all Jimmy Carter and gets thrown by either Korea or Iran. Obama stated in the Czech Republic that words matter, well they don't when it comes to North Korea, its action, they have marked the card of the Obama Administration, Obama can condemn all he likes but he cant do anything, North Korea is a nuclear power. Also North Korea's protector China will veto any more tough action, not because they support the nuclear ambitions of North Korea, but because if North Korea falls the millions of people of North Korea will go to China for help, as with the rest of the world China has her own difficulties, thus it needs North Korea to stay as a state. The one wild card is Japan, sooner or later, and it could be postulated sooner Japan will go nuclear, it will not allow itself to be threatened by a bonkers regime in North Korea. So end result folks, a nuclear arms build up in region, Japan could be the first off the blocks, the UN will be its typical self, feckless and weak, Obama will pray that North Korea has not sold its nuclear technology to Iran. On the other hand that Iran has not sold its long range missile technology to North Korea. In many respects North Korea and Iran are linked, they both have what the other needs, and both could cause the defeat of Obama in 2012, also Iran through its nuclear ambitions could force Israel to attack it, thus causing Iran to attack Iraq and thus prevent the US leaving, that why Obama must not set himself timetables that cant be meet or allow the opposition as in this case Iran or North Korea to make him fall on his backside and look weak and another Carter.
