United Nations Passes New Sanctions Against North Korea

[brassmonkey]

The United Nations Security Council on Monday passed new sanctions against North Korea but refrained from imposing the harshest options the White House proposed following a month of antagonistic military action by the regime of Kim Jong Un.

The unanimous decision to impose the new penalties follows North Korea's recent nuclear test earlier this month ― its sixth and by far most powerful ― as well as a provocative test launch of a ballistic missile over Japan. The sanctions include capping imports of crude oil into North Korea, banning the sale of natural gas to the country and prohibiting the sale of North Korean textiles, the country's second-biggest export, according to Reuters.

However, the penalties fall far short of those called for by the administration of President Donald Trump, which had requested a full cutoff of all oil supplies to Pyongyang, most of which are imported from China. The New York Times reports those demands were watered down following talks with Russia and China, permanent members of the Security Council that hold veto power.

And what the fuck do you think Clinton or Sanders would do? What would you do? Never once have you answered my question about what YOU think he should do. What would make YOU happy?

Nothing; I get it.

It's just like working for Playboy; so confusing.

Bad news.. NK already has Nukes

And more bad news there is very little America could of ever of done about it.

Anyways United Nations has made their decision and the good living Christian folk of the world can sit back and watch millions starve and wash their hands of it... but NK still keep the nukes.

Now its up to see what Kim meant when he said,

" PAIN and SUFFERING' on the West "

NK does hold some of the biggest if not the biggest stockpiles of Chemical and Biological weapons, he could issue a lot of Pain and Suffering if pushed.

Lets just recap those sanctions...

Oil business untouched.. check,
Kims assets and travel rights untouched.. check
Rights to work in Russia and trade untouched.. check

Bend over USA, China and Russia just gave ya one.

So Presidents for the last 50 years had no idea what they were doing.

Sanctions on China would make a difference.

The problem with 'evaporating' North Korea is that it borders Russia and China.

It's not like the US could not evaporate North Korea in 25 minutes.

The Chinese and Russians should be held accountable, and told that they are to be by the orange guy with tiny balls, for Kim's actions -- maybe then they might use their influence in the matter.

Yeah, you heard me; threaten Russia and China -- make the risk to them PERFECTLY CLEAR!

Kim is just a doorknob, a pawn in a larger game gone rouge.

If I was pooty, and the USA threatened me over n/korea, I would send like 100 more nukes to north korea just to piss the west off...then I would capture US embassy folk and tar and feather them...I do not condone any violence, but pranks are ok...I would also tar and feather the plane they are supposed to go home in but from the inside

Well, that is why you are who you are -- just another clown. You are little better that these alt-righ neo Nazis around here.

Remember how your homeland got flattened? Wanna do that again?

Putting more sanctions is a safe bet for now

delusional invader LOL you actually think other countries are obliged to clean up your shit

I seriously cant wait for north korea to start selling them "freedom from US bullshit" nukes to other small countries...in the end you will have to invade yourselves because there will be no other use for your #1 export: war...

[jackiehst]

IMO world should just accept that North Korea has nuclear weapon and take off the sanctions.

What you bozos are missing here is that North Korea is threating to use its nuclear weapons in a hostile act against another sovereign nation.

If you are too stupid to understand this -- put your head in the toilet and flush, brain dead keyboard warrior.

I said hold China and Russia accountable for Kim's actions -- not threaten to nuke them or some other stupid shit. China and Russia are clearly acquiescing. fait accompli is one thing -- threats of nuclear warfare is something else.

If we die we all die together in nuclear warfare

Nothing; I get it.

Of course you don't get it.

Trump said he was going to fix this. During the campaign he blasted Clinton for how the Obama administration has been handling North Korea, which is the same exact way we've bee handling it for fifty years. Trump promised us he was going to fix this. Trump promised us North Korea would not be allowed to have ICBMs, which they now seem to have. Instead, Trump is doing the same exact thing we've been doing for fifty years.

My problem isn't what Trump is doing, but instead my problem here is Trump blasted Clinton and Obama for how they handled North Korea, and then he turned around and is doing the same exact thing.

What would I want Trump to do? What would make me happy? Pretty much anything other than what we have been doing for the past fifty years. Invite their great leader to Washington DC to meet and set up the ground work to have North Korea open up an embassy there? How about instead of more sanctions we agree that this isn't working, and remove them. How about we invite North Koreans to the US, South Korea, and Europe, to see how the rest of the world lives so they can see how silly their leaders are?

It's just like Cuba. We fucked with Cuba for fifty years and what did it get us? Nothing. At a certain point no one is winning and it's time to turn over a new leaf.

But this is all Trump does. He makes big promises and then either does exactly what we've done in the past, or nothing at all. He has a new TV ad out saying he's made our military stronger.... What? WTF? What has Trump done to make our military stronger? The same ad says he's created millions of jobs - which matches the rate of new jobs the last administration was creating. Same ad says he's made our border stronger.... No, he hasn't changed a damn fucking thing.

The Trump administration is a massive failure. Nine months in and still not a single major piece of legislation....

[Tasty1]

What is best we will know in 5,10,20 years.
To start an attack Trump first must get more support.
So he can't attack the coming months.

When he attacks, just make sure you are on a good part of the world that are out of reach and make a holiday from it.
There is also the change Kim gets crazy and start an attack. Than soon there won't be a N-Korea.

I will see what happens from a safe distance

[Barry-xlovecam]

Kim is trying to open the Pandora's Box of nuclear destruction. Hopefully, someone will just put a bullet in his head.

that implies that someone stops , and starts wondering WHY is that situation escalating ?

USA will not stop to think ... they will tough manufacture false evidence to justify sanctions or invasion .

[pimpmaster9000]

You know what's worse than nuclear war? Leaving north Korea alone! The gall of those North Koreans! First they rose up against capitalist exploitation of the time, then they got sanctions for decades and now they even want to be left alone again...oh why oh why do they not want to listen to president elect trump?

Everybody is standing in line to listen to America...that's exactly how it works! LOL

[Busty2]

Sanctions are working well so far, last year NK grew by
4%

That's almost the point I made above. We can continue to rattle their cage for the next fifty years or.... We can try to be nice with them. Sort of like Cuba - Yeah, I know, the Cuban Missile Crisis... but fifty years later here we are, Cuba is still there, and now we are at least trying to be friends again.

[Barry-xlovecam]

The difference is Cuba was not making verbose threats to nuke the USA (or its territory). I know I was 8yrs old watching TV then when it was going down -- it was scary as fuck actually.

The threat was just implied -- what did President Kennedy do? Embargo Cuba and threaten Russian shipping into Cuba.

We could blow up the rail lines and bridges into North Korea. What are they going to do -- commit suicide and attack Seoul? If China and Russia will not intervene to maintain as least the status quo ... Then either they have no will nor balls or they are in acquiescence.



Tough shit you die!

[pimpmaster9000]

USA got its ass kicked in Asia so bad I am surprised they are standing in line again...this time it's not farmers with sticks and cow dung but an actual army...with nukes...

Now China got their back and pooty is tired of usa bullshit too...

And then there's fuckboy trump...oh LOL

North Korea and Cuba are very similar, although Cuba was much closer and North Korea is more threatening. Our treatment of both has been about the same - treat them like enemies and hope nothing happens. Well, fifty years later and nothing has changed. We can continue the same shit with North Korea and... nothing will change.

What we need is a leader who can do something different. And clearly Trump is not a leader.

I disagree with this. The United States never got it's ass kicked. We never lost a single battle. The TET offensive was a massive failure. However, the people have the United States had no desire to be a part of it. We had no reason to be there.

Take a look at what happened with Iraq - twice - and how badly they were defeated by the United States. You don't think we could do the same to Korea?

MacArthur would have nuked North Korea and China in 1950 -- that is how long this shit has gone on.

That's the problem, you lose badly even when you win...look at Vietnam and Korea...Vietnam turned commie right after you left...north Korea got 100x worse...Iraq became a terrorist paradise...avhganistan is the longest running joke...

All those dead people over less than nothing...a negative outcome...just war Inc making $...

N. Korean workers in Russia fear sanctions will send them home

Vladivostok, Russia (CNN)In Russia's far-east, thousands of North Korean workers are given a glimpse of a world outside the tight controls of their own government's propaganda.

The luckier ones work in Vladivostok, where they are a common site on construction sites, laboring to renovate the city's Soviet-era buildings, worn down by icy winter temperatures and the salt spray off the Pacific.
While they will be allowed to finish their contracts under the new sanctions, no new North Koreans will be allowed to replace them, a development that worried many of the workers themselves.
"We really like Vladivostok," a North Korean worker told CNN ahead of the sanctions vote. "It would be bad if I can't work here anymore, it's very nice here, I can send money to my son."
He did not give his name for fear of official reprisals on return to North Korea.

If this becomes a nuclear event we all fight.

If you outlive the initial blast wave in some far away location you may be consumed by the radiation aftermath.

There are no winners in an all out thermonuclear war.
