North Korea Likely to Face UN Sanctions

North Korea looks certain to face U.N. sanctions after this week's nuclear test. The U.N. Security Council powers have agreed in principle that North Korea must face sanctions for defying an earlier U.N. resolution, put in place after its previous nuclear test in October 2006. The reclusive North has shocked the world with a series of provocative moves unseen since the 1950 Korean War, including war threats, missile launches and a nuclear test. South Korea on Thursday raised its military alert level from 3 to 2, after its communist neighbour warned it was ready to attack. The joint command for the 28,000 U.S. troops that support South Korea's 670,000 soldiers has raised its alert a notch to signify a serious threat from the North. It is the highest threat level since the North's previous nuclear test. South Korean media reports say North Korea could be set for further provocations such as additional short-range missile tests. Weapons experts point out that while North Korea is pushing hard to develop a nuclear arsenal, it does not have an effective way to attack using an atomic warhead or bomb. A spokesman for the North's military said South Korea's decision to join a U.S.-led anti-proliferation initiative this week was a declaration of war, making the armistice that ended the Korean War invalid.

Its nothing more than the usual fear game that is played. There are no sides. Its all orchestrated and planned out. Its simple distraction to, as always,keep the world population in control so they cant open their eyes to see what the hell is really going on. Quit believing the fairy tale.
