Would 270 of these pay the bill?Posted on 09/09/2017 6:08:46 PM PDT by topher
UNITED NATIONS – North Korea illegally exported coal, iron and other commodities worth at least $270 million to China and other countries including India, Malaysia and Sri Lanka in the six-month period ending in early August in violation of U.N. sanctions, U.N. experts say.
The experts monitoring sanctions said in a report released Saturday that Kim Jong Un's government continues to flout sanctions on commodities as well as an arms embargo and restrictions on shipping and financial activities.
They said North Korea is also reportedly continuing prohibited nuclear activities with weapons-grade fissile material production at the Yongbyon nuclear complex, construction and maintenance at the Punggye-ri nuclear test site, and at a uranium mine in Pyongsan.

However, China and Russia could circumvent this since they adjourn North Korea on its Northern border
Used body parts?
Wow, didn’t they know they weren’t allowed to do that?
Stupid alert! North Korea has exports that countries buy all over the world. The US ban will not stop this.....
who received them?
duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... it takes two parties
I thought India was our friend. No aid for them!
The worthless UN will not stop any of this either!!
UN =’s Moron in most languages!
Actually, if they form a naval embargo, it won’t help North Korea. Shipping containers would be out.
They can still ship out by air, but a lot of companies will find it problematic to have a rogue state’s products on their shelves, once it has been blackballed.
It would look bad.
Before this they could say, well, the people will be helped if we handle these things. Once the nation has officially been taken to task, I’m not convinced that flies any longer.
Is methamphetamine a “good”?
Would 270 of these pay the bill?Whooda thunk??? Communists playing by the rules?? Especially THESE commies. Now how about the nuke components they have been dealing with Iran on??? Hmmmmmm???
Another yawn for the history books. Nothing will come of it.
Hmmmmmmmmmm wondering if the UN top cop wrote them a citation so they’d know they weren’t supposed to export their products.
I can visualize a guy in a UN uniform with his foot up on the Nork’s fender writing a citation, and handing it to Chubby Chia with a tsk, tsk, tsk.
Kinda like gun bans....only the good guys obey them.
Following Robert's Rules of Order.
Really! The UN told them not to do that!
They bought it through shadowy, third-party coal merchants.
Sort of like how well restraining orders are obeyed.
Like his ol’ man, if you ever watched the movie “Team America: World Police!”
Haven’t seen it. The rhetoric coming out of NK is funny, amusing, childish.
