Sen. John McCain called North Korea's latest nuclear test "disturbing" and said the world needs to join forces to stop future tests.

"It's a provocative act and it's a very disturbing one," McCain said when asked about the North Korea test after he spoke at a Memorial Day observance Monday at the veterans' National Cemetery in north Phoenix. "It shows that tensions in the region are on the increase."

Other countries, particularly China, must help the United States in pressuring North Korea to abandon its nuclear ambitions, McCain said.

"The Chinese need to act in cooperation with us to bring pressure on the North Koreans to halt this further developments of both missiles and nuclear weapons," he said.

I think that McCain might have been "disturbed" long before the North Koreans started testing nuclear weapons.

McCain: China needs to help stop N. Korea

I'll never happen 

[Paleo Conservative]

Maybe we could threaten the Chinese with not allowing them to buy more T-Bills?

[jessduntno]

Way to go Juan, breaking new ground, dealing out new thoughts on foriegn policy...why didn’t you get elected???

[dfwgator]

McCain....McCain....hmmm....is he like Meghan’s Dad or something like that?

[pallis]

McCain needs to take his meds, and send Meghan over to North Korea to solve the problem.

John McCain has for the last decade or more been arguably the most influential and powerful member of the United States Senate.

The US Senate has a great deal of power when it comes to foreign policy.

Whatever bad things are fixing to happen in the world, a good deal of the blame should land on his doorstep.

You should have thought of that when you "dicked" conservatives via the '08 elections.

If YOU had a backbone, YOU could be handling it as POTUS presently.

Now just go away....

Where does McCain suppose that NK gets most of their weaponry?

McCain: “China needs to help stop N. Korea”

yeh OK yonnie.....I’d really like to know why China “needs” to help stop or stop NK.....wtf, should china for some reason think that NK would dare to fire one into china?......or that china does not tremendously enjoy the consternation that NK is causing for the US?

No, yonnie.....china ENJOYS this.....and they are laughing at your “moderate” and wimpy chattering.

>>>I'll never happen <<<

The sad thing is McCain happened!! I wish he would unhappen from the Republican Party!

[garyhope]

A couple of well placed Cruise missles would stop NK.

[GeronL]

I would much rather China help stop Barack. Don’t buy the bonds! Stop buying the debt!

[TADSLOS]

All China has to do is stop feeding them.

Perhaps we could threaten to destroy Beijing if the North Koreans destroy Tokyo. That would probably get the attention of the Chinese. The Chinese are using their North Korean surrogate to terrorize the Japanese.

Exactly, they dont. A nuclear capable North Korea ties up the free world assets (USA, Japan, South Korea) in the area that otherwise might oppose China in the region (Taiwan, etc)

[personalaccts]

The North Koreans probably are learning how to build nuclear weapon by using the data the Chi-coms steal from us.

[fish hawk]

Call me crazy but in a strange way, I think that the threat from N. Korea and Iran just may be a good thing. I can see that if there was not threat and everything seemed peaceful, our Obamanation leadership would de-arm us even more than they are attempting to right now. Even Obama would not dare to disarm us with these threats hanging over our heads.
