Nuclear madness:
(CNN) -- The U.N. Security Council voted unanimously Thursday for tougher sanctions against North Korea.
China, North Korea's key ally, could have vetoed the resolution -- but instead agreed to it.
Leading up to the vote, Pyongyang unleashed an even harsher bout of fiery rhetoric than usual, threatening its enemies with the possibility of a "preemptive nuclear attack."
Despite the strong language, analysts say North Korea is still years away from having the technology necessary to mount a nuclear warhead on a missile and aim it accurately at a target.
The bellicose statement, carried by the North's state-run Korean Central News Agency, came during a week of high tension on the Korean Peninsula as military drills take place on either side of the heavily armed border that divides the two Koreas.
On Tuesday, North Korea said it planned to scrap the armistice that stopped the Korean War in 1953 and warned it could carry out strikes against the United States and South Korea.

China is still considered their ally so I'm not sure.
Just the thought of any country threatening to nuke another is just mid boggling. It's the 1950 all over again.
You are right the people of North Korea are Not the problem. Unfortunately how much of the foreign aid actually reach the people? Sadly most and any foreign aid likely goes to the leadership of the country and the military (4th largest military) ... and that's a lot of military too feed. Unfortunately I don't think much will change in North Korea.

Probably not much aid gets to the people. A little off subject but, I've always thought the best aid one country can give to another is the tools and skills for those people to learn how to make it on their own.
Maybe what the people of N. Korea need is the skill and bravery to stand up to their twisted government... but how do you do that, especially when their biggest day-to-day concern is finding something to eat. No easy answers.
I agree ... unfortunately the NK dictators use starvation and fear to keep control ... very sad. The only way any country should agree to increase aid is if volunteers from maybe SK or China can deliver the food and medicine to the people ... but pretty sure NK would never agree ... they would not want the world to know the truth, even though we already do.

I'm more concerned with these drones.
There are no easy answers. I can only support immigrants and refugees that have the chance to escape. It's a small part. North Korea and Cuba just don't like America.
History always repeats. What normally happens to dictators
Hail, Hail!!!

I've had enough of North Korea's pish-posh. It's been over a decade since we've taken out another country's infrastructure in a fortnight and I'm sure we have a whole new generation of smart bombs that could use some field testing.
We ( the whole world ) can no longer let the leaders of N. Korea get by with this way of thinking.
We have to take out the govt. and let the good people of N. Korea see how fucked up it's been for them bcause of their Govt. It will mean a uniting of North and South Korea, which will not be easy, but
it also means taking out the problem. The N. Korea Govt./Leaders are starving it's people.
I think its unfortunate, but i do believe it's time action is taken.
I won't "support" the war if there is one, but i won't be "against" it either.
tough situation, and as much as i hate war, sometimes it is the right answer.

I hope young son 2 doesn't have an itchy finger, hope he's all talk or at least enough
sense to not go there.
So, the Joe Korean dude might think this... but Baby 'Gangham Style' Huey knows we have aircraft carriers and destroyers and cruise missles and flying death robots. He is just talking shit. I mean, look at the fucking guy. A soft, chubby, Pilbury Doughboy that thinks he's fucking Rambo because he controls a bullshit military whose front like fighter jet is a MiG-21. Yeah, they have MiG-29s and Su-27s, but those pilots aren't idiots and will defect to South Korea as soon as they their squad leader get splashed by a Sparrow missile.
It's the same shit as Saddam Hussein and his, 'Mother Of All Battles' in 1991. Oooooohhhh... scary.
This guy just talks shit because his people are so unaware of the real world and only know the world as told to them by their pudgy little fat fuck of a leader.
So... fuck him and his bullshit threats.
Hail, Hail!!!
You might want to reconsider the notion that you're "very anti-war". This is one of the more pro-war statements I've read in awhile.
Yeah let's drone this prick back to where he came from , a hole ...
I'm not saying that... i'm saying that we just ignore this Krispy Kreme filled human and his bullshit threats.
If their threats turn into actions... "RELEASE THE PREDATORS!!!"
Until then, it's all just bullshit... they know it, we know it... just the North Korean public is in the dark on this one.
Hail, Hail!!!
I sick and tired of preemptive strikes.
Then again, I'm not even sure if I would believe it if the media/government told me North Korea just blew up (add city/state/whatever).
I know i know and i agree pay them no attention ..

Or bombing a South Korean island?

I agree that most of it is talk, buuuttttt ..... they do have nukes .... they are testing intercontinental ballistic missiles …. And they have a history of having a hair trigger. And they just scraped an armistice deal which to my knowledge pretty much means we at war with them right now ... at least in their minds.
Just say'n.
They would have a difficult time pulling that off... both Korea and some U.S. led conspiracy.
Korean delivery systems are primative by today's standards. We can keep and eye on their missles with our early detection systems and already know the trajectory paths they will need to take, on attacks against U.S. soil.
South Korea... that's a different story. But, that something that should be left for the south Koreans to decide, not us. We can assist them as needed, but it is their call to make... and their responsibility, should they make the call. We should not be the World's Cops... nobody assigned that to us.
Hail, Hail!!!
That shit is in China's backyard... If China doesn't want a nuclear bomb going off on the other side of their fence... they can deal with that shit.
Hail, Hail!!!
and like with all douchebags, things will not go well for him...
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
I see a Military Coup in his future.
Hail, Hail!!!
just my hunch.
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
as in, N.Korea sees the writing on the wall and would rather be taken down than shown to be such a massive failure...the delusion is shocking.
It is terrifying when you are too stupid to know who is dumb
