Nothing new here. N. Korea remains defiant. Unless China steps in there will be war in the East.

Japan has already seen how we treat our allies. They know they stand alone unless they can form an alliance with China. If they do that, the US is in real trouble.

Bluster for money and stuff. The problem is, they’ll actually do some ugly stuff if we don’t give them what they want.

This will end in war eventually.

Unless we act...they will send nukes to Iran...if they already haven’t.

[CodeToad]

It’s so cute when they think they have balls.

Quick, someone tell Obama to go talk some sense into this guy. Surely he will listen to The Messiah.

[Tenacious 1]

I worry that China will take military action.

It will embolden them and solicit applause from much of the world. Eventually, someone will have to remove that pot bellied dictator by force and permanently destroy their capabilities for nuclear technology. It is either going to be the US or China.

I don’t see Russia having anything to do with it.

"We've been living under U.S. sanctions for decades, but have firmly safeguarded our ideology and system while moving our achievements forward.

If by achievements you mean starving your people to death, then mission accomplished, commies.

I’d normally say, “bring it!” but then I got afraid for what would happen with Obama as CIC. Visions of Carter at the helm came flooding back.

[eureka!]

This cannot go unanswered. Lock and load the TelePrompter and the 0ne can wax presidential after his fundraisers in the West...

[null and void]

Have we (0bama) surrendered yet?

Gosh, I’m so glad Barry sang “Change You Cab Believe In” to win the American Idol Presidency. Now the world loves us!

No doubt, he’s planning on improving his deep bowing (kaw tawing) to the N Koreans and Chinese. He still needs to work on keeping his birth certificate under wraps though...

When the Iranians or N Koreans nuke DC, what will Barry sing then?
“I fall to pieces”?

[McGruff]

You think Iran's got missiles? We kill you all at once. You American puppets!

[Gator113]

Obama is waiting for preconditions to fade before he engages in direct talks.

[Puppage]

You have any baws, Obama?

"Japan has already seen how we treat our allies. They know they stand alone unless they can form an alliance with China."

Too bad zero can’t/won’t neuter the enemy like he has America

The media has had to rewrite their basic template for reporting this type of news. Normally, it would have been standard to report that they are responding to “increased rhetoric” from the administration. Towards the end of the article the old template would have quoted experts or unnamed officials who questioned the President’s policies.

They know they stand alone unless they can form an alliance with China. If they do that, the US is in real trouble.

I doubt the likelihood of any alliance between China and Japan, due to memories of WW2.

An alliance between Japan and India might be another story, with Japan changing its constitution to authorize a full military again...

""We've been living under U.S. sanctions for decades, but have firmly safeguarded our ideology and system while moving our achievements forward. The U.S. sanctions policy toward North Korea is like striking a rock with a rotten egg."

And starving N Koreans, eager for something better to eat besides tree bark and rats, eagerly run out to lick up that rotten egg.

I'd love to see N. Korea fire on a US navel ship.

And I'd love to see Obama's reaction. The wrong one will cost him dearly.

[RonboTex]

Have no fear. Just know that we have this guy as CIC who will protect us from all harm....

[Joe Boucher]

Yo, chia, just do it punk.
