The US will embark on an aggressive effort to tighten North Koreas isolation on Monday with a call for an oil embargo and a partial naval blockade.
A draft United Nations resolution seen by the Observer would also block textile exports and the hiring of North Korean labour by foreign countries. The American delegation has called for the UN security council to debate the draft, in an attempt to force decisive action following last Sundays massive nuclear test of a bomb, Pyongyangs sixth.
The most striking language in the resolution authorises naval vessels of any UN member state to inspect North Korean ships suspected of carrying banned cargo and to use all necessary measures to carry out such inspections. The implications of such a resolution would be far-reaching. Any attempt to board or divert a North Korean vessel could trigger an exchange of fire.
As well as banning any exports of crude oil, condensates, refined petroleum products, and natural gas liquids to North Korea, the draft resolution calls for a prohibition on the import of textiles and an end to the hiring of North Korean nationals, on the grounds that the regime uses the foreign currency earned to support its prohibited nuclear and ballistic missile programmes.
Both Russia and China employ cheap North Korean labour. In Russia they work in logging camps and construction sites, helping build a new football stadium in St Petersburg that will be used in the World Cup next year.
The US draft measure would also freeze the assets of Kim Jong-un and the top leadership in Pyongyang.

when was war declared ?
2 wrongs do not make a right
lawlessness breeds lawlessness
I don’t want Congress to DO much of anything. The problems we have all stem from a gov’t that is 10 times bigger than it needs to be.
That is my guess, too. Something has to stop lil’ fatman, and DJT can go back and say he tried everything before putting the hammer down.
“...Repubs should do everything possible to return power to congress as per our founders vision...”
“...I dont want Congress to DO much of anything...”

Kinda contradictory, don’t you think????
If they don’t do it this time, it’ll be an even bigger surprise. This is tantamount to declaring war, or daring the other kid to throw the first punch, anyway.
not contradictory at all
Trump knows that reality. This is nothing more than his last ditch “diplomatic” effort before going to war against the Norks.
The UN will, of course, do what they always do, which is to defend and uphold communist regimes and dictatorships, by any means, even while pretending otherwise. You must remember that the United Nations was - and still is - an invention of the Marxists.
The UN has played games about NK for 60+ years - and now time is up. Nuclear conflict is now plainly visible on the not-to-distant horizon - even if nobody here wants to admit it be so.
He’s full of contradictions - and other stuff ... Which is why you should not waste bandwidth debating him. It’s a futile exercise.
Thanks...I have learned that...:^)
>>NO ONE wants Kim to have nukes.
Yeah, but the distraction is sure convenient...
The name United Nations, coined by United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt was first used in the Declaration by United Nations of 1 January 1942, during the Second World War, when representatives of 26 nations pledged their Governments to continue fighting together against the Axis Powers.

No Frankfurt School Marxists... No WWII? ---
IOW, to what extent did the Frankfurt School Marxists and their social-engineering NWO Deep-State cohorts instigate and prime the global stage for WWII?
Interesting you bring up the Frankfurt School - It’s founder was a diehard sodomite. The Nazi Party was created by homosexuals. All of its top leaders were flaming sodomites - including Hitler.
The night of the “Long Daggers” was when the “butch” hardcore Sadomasochist SS faction murdered all the effeminate fags in the Party.
I highly recommend to you the book, written by Scott Lively, The Pink Swastika, now in it’s 5th Ed. It provides great detail about the origins and purpose of the Frankfurt School. This is the very root of the gay and transgender plans against humanity in general, and specifically Christianity.
Zero chance of this passing.
Too decisive for them.
You missed the memo. Amongst the SJWs, it’s not ‘Israel’. The proper terminology is ‘Occupied Palestine’.
If you consider Palestine to be a Sovereign and Independent country that goes back through most of recorded history as many would have you to believe, then a few questions need to be answered:
Trust me, I’ve tried similar. I just get shouted down with shriller and shriller slogans, so I finally give up and walk away, and let them have their ‘victory’.
