Nuclear Warfare...
Struggles to Meet U.N. Regulations...
Threats to International Security...
Do any of these phrases sound familiar? Well they should. On Monday, May 25, 2009 communist dictatorship North Korea set off a Nuclear blast shortly before 10 A.M. The detonation occurred slightly 50 miles north-west of the city of Kilju. The blast was said to have a magnitude of 4.7-magnitude earthquake, this is what it was first mistaken for. Over the past few days North Korea also launched three ground to air missiles with a range of 80 miles.

U.S. President Barack Obama (seen above) has had a very blunt response to this nuclear test performed by N. Korea. He warned N. Korea saying, "North Korea will not find security and respect through to threats and illegal weapons." Obama believes that the communist country's nuclear tests and missile launches poses a threat to International Security and the International Community has to stand up to N. Korea.

President Obama is right when he says that the world will not be intimidated by a display of nuclear power. But as for the moment, that's all it is - a display! As of yet, there have not been any outright threats to international security - I have a feeling this is the media's way to turn this into something it might very well not be. On the other hand, it might not be a good idea to 'egg' N. Korea on, they are a powerful nation and now have confirmed nuclear capabilities.
One major issue that was brought to my attention by a personal aquaintance is this..
North Korea are tough little buggers, if you start a war with them - they will win.
They have a history of being ruthless and would likely stop at nothing to uphold what they believe in.
So then you ask me, what is my proposal?
I say that China threatens to stop trade routes to N. Korea, most of N. Korea's supplies (such as water, food, and oil) come from China. China is North Korea's closest neighbor (as is Canada to the United States) and also has one of the most powerful military in the world. So the way I see it...
If North Korea wants to play with the fires of intimidation, then we make them feel the burn of intimidation...
