North Korea and Iran - Korean Update PT4

The New York Times: Reports that the successful North Korean rocket launch could benefit Iran, the article notes the following, " Some American officials, who have privately warned of increased missile cooperation between Iran and North Korea over the past year.. ".

Lets Get Real:

This really would be the axis of evil folks, Iran and North Korea jointed at the hip when it comes to the bomb and rocket technology, the Tehran Regime could supply North Korea with hard currency while it gets fast information for the creation of the bomb and how to place them on rockets.    This would be a major threat to Israel and the World, if Iran gets the bomb the rest of the Middle East will get itself an arms race, none of Iran's neighbours or the Gulf States would feels safe, thus the nuclear black market, that being Russia, would see a flood of Arab oil, looking for a quick fix when it comes to defence.   The next few years could get hot in Asia and the Middle East folks.   Appeasement never works folks, just leads to War in the long run. 

China and North Korea - Korea Update PT3

Guardian: Reports the following reaction from China to North Korea rocket launch, " ..a tempered response from North Korea's main ally,..which expressed regret but called for a careful reaction, suggests that a push for fresh action by the world body is likely to struggle. ".

Lets Get Real: 

Even China is starting to feel the effects of the negative world economy, thus it can not afford to have millions of starving North Koreans crossing its border, if nothing else the poor North Koreans would take Chinese jobs, think Eastern Europe and now Western Europe workers coming to the UK due to the high levels of unemployment in those regions.  Thus one can see China not agreeing to more sanctions, also the UN has to worry that the North Korea Regime could start if not already has selling its nuclear and rocket technology to Iran.   This would save Iran time, and the Tehran Regime might be on a shorter clock that North Korea.   One can see the Oval placing pressure on South Korea and Japan not to go nuclear, but how long will these Countries allow North Korea to have the bomb before they go nuclear.   Thus expect a arms race folks, sooner or later its going to happen, Japan it can be postulated will go nuclear first, World War Two was a long time ago folks. 

North Korean Rocket Success - Korean Update PT2

BBC News: Reports that North Korean rocket test was successful, it placed a Satellite in Space Orbit.

Lets Get Real:

As stated last night folks in my tweets one can see South Korea and Japan going nuclear in the near future in less the China, US and the UN can find a way to get N Korea to give up its nuclear ambitions.    The Times of London reported last year that North Korea had successful placed a minute nuclear device on a rocket, this test could lead to North Korea having ICBMs or the ability to sell them, think Iran with the bomb and rocket technology, YES FOLKS THAT BAD,  this could lead to an arms race in the region, and the US and the UN can not do a thing, even China can not control North Korea, this is the tail wagging the dog.    Thus expect more food blackmail from North Korea, this is the pattern folks, the US will think it can talk to North Korea, they cant, the N Koreans understand one thing, the World only pays attention when the N Koreans are bad actors on the World Stage, and worse you have to pay them, if  Libya had kept its WMDs would NATO have taken action, yes folks, Gaddafi is a warning to any tyrant who thinks about giving up his Ace in the pack. 

The White House and the North Korea

The White House: Has a statement on North Korea's latest rocket launch, the Statement states the following, " North Korea’s launch today—using ballistic missile technology despite express prohibitions by United Nations Security Council resolutions—is a highly provocative act that threatens regional security, directly violates United Nations Security Council resolutions 1718 and 1874, contravenes North Korea’s international obligations, and undermines the global non-proliferation regime.  This action is yet another example of North Korea’s pattern of irresponsible behavior.  The United States remains vigilant in the face of North Korean provocations and fully committed to the security of our allies in the region. Given this current threat to regional security, the United States will strengthen and increase our close coordination with allies and partners.

On April 16, 2012, the United Nations Security Council expressed its “determination to take action accordingly in the event of a further [North Korean] launch.”  In the hours and days ahead, the United States will work with its Six-Party partners, the United Nations Security Council, and other UN member states to pursue appropriate action.  The international community must work in a concerted fashion to send North Korea a clear message that its violations of United Nations Security Council resolutions have consequences.  The international community continues to insist that North Korea live up to its commitments, adhere to its international obligations, and deal peacefully with its neighbors.

North Korea is only further isolating itself by engaging in such provocative acts.  Devoting scarce resources to the development of ballistic missiles and nuclear weapons has not brought it security and acceptance by the international community—and never will.  North Korea will only truly strengthen itself by abiding by international norms, living up to its commitments and international obligations, and working to feed its citizens, to educate its children, and to win the trust of its neighbors. ".

Lets Get Real: 

This is the last thing the Oval wants, it has Syria falling apart, then  there is the developing crisis in Egypt, if either Country go like Iran this could be a threat to Israel or Turkey.   The UN and the US and the neighbours of N Korea will be in the arms over the rocket launch and they will do nothing, even China will not react, it does not need N Korea to implode, that could see millions crossing the border, also it does not want the Stalinist Regime to fall as a United Korea would be a Western ally.    As for the Oval it wants to work through the UN, well the UN passed resolutions banning North Korea rocket launches and its not worth the paper its written on, the Stalinist Regime has the bomb, they can not be touched, the World should feel sorry for the poor people of North Korea, they starve while their Regime builds rockets, that is the sad part folks.
