Nikki Haley: Kim Jong-un is ‘begging for war’; U.N. diplomats call for more sanctions

North Korea’s leader is “begging for war,” the U.S. ambassador said Monday at an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council, as members called for punishing the country with even stronger sanctions for its powerful nuclear test.

Ambassador Nikki Haley said the U.S. would look at countries doing business with the North and planned to circulate a resolution this week with the goal of getting it approved Sept. 11.

“Enough is enough. War is never something the United States wants. We don’t want it now. But our country’s patience is not unlimited,” Haley said. “The United States will look at every country that does business with North Korea as a country, that is giving aid to their reckless and dangerous nuclear intentions.”

The move came as U.S. President Donald Trump spoke by phone with South Korean President Moon Jae-in and agreed that Sunday’s underground nuclear test by North Korea was a grave provocation that was “unprecedented.” The two leaders also agreed to remove the limit on the payload of South Korean missiles.

Scheduled after North Korea said it detonated the hydrogen bomb, the emergency U.N. session also came six days after the council strongly condemned what it called Pyongyang’s “outrageous” launch of a ballistic missile over Japan. Less than a month ago, the council imposed its stiffest sanctions yet on the reclusive nation.

Will sanctions work? Only if we sanction their trade partners, and maybe not even then.

The idiot is begging for attention, but for the U.S. to classify his behavior as inciting war is correct.

Force all countries to close the Nork embassies and also send home overseas slave workers. Blockade ships going to and from Nork to inspect and seize war materials.

At this point, it doesn’t matter what we say. We screwed around too long with the political grandstanding after Bill Clinton betrayed the US. Now that fat boy has a working nuke and missile program, nothing short of assassination or annihilation will stop him.

Like a bad parent with an unruly child, we keep counting to 3 with North Kirea.

Kim, I’m counting to 3. Put you missiles away or there will be fire and fury.

This time I’m serious. When I get to 3 you getter stop threatening Japan and aGuam.

You better not detonate that h bomb and put it away. I’m counting to 3.

When does it end?
