UN slaps sanctions on North Korea
Here we go.....
I think what will happen, is that when the next staged attack happens which will probably be a low yield nuke (dirty bomb), North Korea will be blamed for selling it to Iran or Al-Qaeda or some other nonsense.
Lol you should see how Fox News is portraying this issue with Bush talking with all the doomsday music. lol what a fucking joke!!
For the record...North Korea is only one of the nations who would take on the US by themselves, and could win.

The UN Security Council has voted unanimously in favour of a resolution imposing sanctions on North Korea over its claimed nuclear test.
Resolution 1718 imposes weapons and financial sanctions but is not backed by the threat of military force.
North Korea's UN envoy said he totally rejected the resolution and walked out.
After hours of talks, China agreed to back the resolution but said it had "reservations" about provisions for cargo checks on North Korean ships.
US President George W Bush said the UN had taken a "swift and tough" step to show its determination to keep the Korean Peninsula free of nuclear weapons.
North Korea's UN envoy, Pak Gil Yon, left the UN chamber after rejecting the "unjustifiable" resolution and accusing the Security Council of neglecting US pressure on North Korea.
He warned that any increase in US pressure would be considered as a "declaration of war".
The resolution:
* Demands North Korea eliminate all its nuclear weapons, weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missiles
* Requires all countries to prevent the sale or transfer of materials related to Pyongyang's unconventional weapons programmes, as well as large-sized military items such as tanks, missiles and helicopters
* Demands nations freeze funds overseas of people or businesses connected with North Korea's nuclear and ballistic missile programs
* Allows nations to inspect "as necessary" cargo moving in and out of North Korea to check for banned items
* Bans export of luxury goods to North Korea
* Calls on Pyongyang to return "without precondition" to stalled six-nation talks on its nuclear programme.
'Not indefinite'
John Bolton, the US envoy to the UN, warned the Security Council that stronger measures might be required if North Korea did not comply.
Russian Defence Minister Sergei Ivanov said that both Moscow and Beijing believed the sanctions should not be viewed as indefinite.
"If North Korea returns to six-party talks and these talks achieve progress, sanctions... should be automatically lifted," he said.
China and Russia have been concerned that the cargo inspections permitted in the resolution could spark naval confrontations with North Korean boats.
China's UN envoy Wang Guangya called on UN member states to adopt a "prudent and responsible attitude" to the checks and refrain from "provocative steps".
The BBC's Laura Trevelyan at the UN says China has taken the slightly confusing position of apparently disagreeing with something to which it has signed up.
She says the test of the resolution will be in the implementation of the sanctions.
Revised resolution
The US proposed the initial draft resolution but revised it to remove the threat of imminent military action and dilute a blanket ban on defence exports in an effort to allay Chinese and Russian concerns.
US officials say they may have detected radioactive gas consistent with a nuclear explosion near the site of North Korea's claimed nuclear test on Monday.
Throughout the week there has been uncertainty about whether North Korea carried out a nuclear test, tried to but failed, or made a false claim.
White House officials cautioned that this result alone did not confirm a successful test but it could mean that a nuclear test had been attempted.

China is the one that's going to get screwed here (in the long run) They are going to end up with a pro-western nuclear Japan and (someday) a unified pro-western nuclear Korea on ther front door step.
Japan and Korea have history which is going to slow the process down but, in time a pro-western Japan and unified Korea are going to become close, first economically and eventually militarily if they both view China as hostile neighbor
China's vote today shows that their light is starting to come on, unfortunately for them, it's a too little too late, they can't stop NK from getting the bomb and they can't stop NK from bringing nuclear weapons to the unification.

What 6th grade history text from the 1960's fueled this brain fart? China seems more concerned about a gazzillion NK refugees and disruptions in commerce these days...

Oh oh oh! I've got a question! I've got a question!
Hey Great Sprit. What would YOU do to reach peace with North Korea after setting a nuclear weapon off underground.
I'd love to hear this.

What the hell is a reach peace?
The world is not as it seems. Every single nation is indeed controlled by the world Elite. No such thing as soverignty. They only make it look they are free. Everything is planned by them.
Now speaking if North Korea was its own nation, I would definately try to negotiate peace. I don't want a war and see millions of people die just for a really stupid reason, hence being nuclear weapons. Only man makes the bomb go off.
Problems created by man can be solved by man. All man sees is conflict, yet doesnt understand.
The problem is that man has not come into his full potential yet, effectivly making him trapped in a certain ideology.
The Elite say war and disease are just used to control and reduce populations. Just look at Africa...
I would have thought man would have learned from its mistakes already. They are still greedy and materialistic.
