North Korea’s launch of a second intercontinental ballistic missile Friday—a missile some believe has the potential to reach U.S. cities—led to speculation that the U.S. would go to the U.N. to seek an emergency session and a resolution to put more pressure on the rogue state. CBS News reported Saturday that the U.S. was seeking an emergency session on Monday, but Haley shot down such reporting as “mistaken.”
“There is no point in having an emergency session if it produces nothing of consequence,” Haley said, before noting that North Korea is already the target of a number of Security Council resolutions which, she said, “they violate with impunity.”

“An additional Security Council resolution that does not significantly increase the international pressure on North Korea is of no value,” she said. “In fact, it is worse than nothing, because it sends the message to the North Korean dictator that the international community is unwilling to seriously challenge him.”
Instead, she said the ball was now in China’s court. “China must decide whether it is finally willing to take this vital step. The time for talk is over,” she said.
Haley’s statement comes a day after President Trump took aim at China over its weak stance on North Korea, accusing the Chinese of being “just talk”:
I am very disappointed in China. Our foolish past leaders have allowed them to make hundreds of billions of dollars a year in trade, yet…

Yep. I apparently didn’t read your comment very carefully. Sorry about that.
Just cut the ChiCom governments access to the US banking system.

Hey dick wad.
At a loss for words?
Busy, you know.
Just read your last few comments. You aren’t the only busy guy around here. And civility would be appreciated. The quickest way to having your opinions be disregarded is with the easy out of vulgarities. Out.
Just kicking your corpse to see if you are still alive.
You’ve quickly become uninteresting.
Should have just stopped posting.
We can pay $1 trillion back with bonds the US purchased from China during WW2.
You are a singular Freeper. Worth noting.
And avoiding.
Will spread this to my Freeper Friends.
Something ugly at your end of the wire.
Whatever. Consider me permanently uninterested.
