BREAKING: UN resolution adopted! Casus belli for North Korea?

#China Amb. to UN: "We want to see full implemention of the resolution" on #DPRK.

China Amb. at UN: Priority now is to "defuse" the tension on the Korean peninsula.

Yet the US has vetoed how many UNSC resolutions against Israel? 50? 60?

Great updates! Thanks.

Hopefully they nuke Sacramento.... nothing of value would be lost.

N. Korean soldier on state TV: "Should U.S. imperialists attack ... we will turn Seoul and Washington into a sea of flames"

Washington?

Well!! US will not attack North Korea so everything is cool

Ok..now the question is

Who is going to be the one to stop the NK boat on the open ocean?

This really puts the focus on Iran NK cooperation..No?

Of all the recent NK doom this seems to be the real thing that could get the ball rolling....JMHO

Nort Korea has submarines. They also dealt with AQ Khan for nuke stuff.
Could the Norks have a few loaded subs sitting quietly off the east coast of CONUS?

"North Korea has started submarine drills and stepped up preparations for nationwide military exercises, which may be timed to coincide with annual joint drills by South Korea and the United States set to start next week, military sources said Wednesday.

(LEAD) N. Korea threatens thermonuclear war as U.N. moves to impose sanctions

SEOUL, March 7 (Yonhap) -- North Korea warned Thursday that a thermonuclear war can take place as the United Nations moves to impose tough sanctions against the communist country for conducting its third atomic weapons test last month.

The Rodong Sinmun, an organ of the ruling Workers' Party of Korea (WPK), said in a commentary titled "independence is more important than life" that the military has become stronger and whether there is a nuclear conflict or a war involving more powerful weapons, North Korea has the potential to retaliate.
It didn't elaborate on the specific target of its nuclear attack.

The U.N. Security Council (UNSC) is expected to vote on fresh sanctions after Pyongyang, in defiance of international pressure, tested a nuclear weapon on Feb. 12. Before the latest test, it had detonated two atomic devices in 2006 and 2009.

"Even if Pyongyang or Washington pushed the nuclear weapons release button first, neither can legally be held accountable," the media outlet said, claiming that the country is in a heightened state of readiness and ready to strike at the heart of the enemy. The newspaper said that with the Korean War armistice agreement having been nullified, it would not be strange if a thermonuclear war erupted.

Pyongyang announced Tuesday that it will nullify the 1953 armistice that halted the three-year-long war, while one of its diplomats said last month in Geneva that Seoul will face "final destruction" if it persists on its course to drum up support to impose sanctions on the North. Final destruction is surmised to mean a nuclear attack by Pyongyang against Seoul.

The daily also said in a separate editorial that the North can unleash an attack with the "push of a button" that would create a "sea of fire" and turn Washington and Seoul into "the final graves for aggressors."
The "sea of fire" threat against Washington marks the second day in a row that the isolationist country used the provocative words to threaten a strike against the U.S. capital. In the past, reference to Washington as a direct target was rare.

The Rodong Sinmun then said that the Key Resolve and Foal Eagle joint military exercises being conducted by South Korea and the United States are dangerous provocations and cannot be ignored (by the North).

From the OP..

"KOMID is described by the resolution as North Korea's "primary arms dealer and main exporter of goods and equipment related to ballistic missiles and conventional weapons," while the North Korean bank is the "main DPRK (North Korea) financial entity for sales of conventional arms, ballistic missiles, and goods related to the assembly and manufacturing of such weapons."

"The Security Council "decides that all states shall inspect all cargo within or transiting through their territory that has originated in the DPRK, or that is destined for the DPRK," the draft said."

Not a real leap to comprehend what I posted.

Scenario #1

DPRK is the chicom's sacrificial lamb in a nuclear first strike aganist the US/West. ie false flagesque...


In which case the chicoms do not want to waste this ace by any means, but it is seen as a viable solution if the price is right.

That's the most hypocritical thing I've read in a long time.

^^ This ^^.

China has been on the shitty end of the stick for centuries now they have the world by the balls.

Messing that up is the last thing they want to do.

So...I wonder if anything will happen today or will NK wait until March 11?

China is not going to be too happy with North Korea damaging it's property. Seeing as it owns much of the US...

relax, they are just saying that IF the U.S. is starting a war and IF the U.S. is using more powerful weapons than conventional ones, THEN NK will also retaliate with nuclear weapons, targeting U.S. Soil.

Not gonna happen.
