North Korea issued a statement today, in which they said South Korea would "pay a high price," if they fell in line with the United States and other world powers in calling for sanctions against North Korea. This statement comes from the "Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of the Fatherland."
I don't have a particularly great amount of things to say about this, I just thought it was noteworthy, because South Korea has expressed a previous reluctance to implement the sanctions agreed upon by the "international community." We should just keep this in mind as we decide in the future what to do with North Korea.
North Korea is a danger that cannot be ignored. Indeed, by ignoring it, we put ourselves in a worse position relative to Iran, because when Iran gains nuclear technology (perhaps bought from the North Koreans), all this will be relatively minor indeed.
We should perfect our strategy now, so when Iran has nukes, we know what to do, and we do not hesitate. And make no mistake, Iran will be far worse then North Korea, because Iran has every intention of USING their nuclear weapons against Israel or the US (whichever it can hit first).
