The North Korean Saga Marches Onward Into Further Boredom

The North Korea thing is one of the things in the news that I find exceedingly boring.

But it is nonetheless a major news item, and so we here at the Daily Stormer are obligated to cover it. So as we can remain your one-stop shop for all things news.

My only real hope here is that it can somehow end up making Trump look like a hero.

For anyone who doesn’t know: there is no actual threat. This is all just a bunch of media hype.

Fox News:

Disagreements over North Korea’s tests of intercontinental ballistic missiles and territorial disputes in the South China Sea are preventing foreign ministers from other Asia-Pacific countries from issuing a unified statement about North Korea’s actions, diplomatic sources said Sunday.

Washington had hoped the region’s countries, including members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), would issue a joint communique after their annual gathering in Manila. But Cambodia was concerned its views weren’t adequately reflected in the statement being developed, causing a delay, a diplomat said.

Cambodia is one of the few old communist countries that is still aligned with NK somewhat strongly.

In many ways, they are the NK of the South. The difference being that they opened up a long time ago because they wanted those tourist dollars. And they have beaches and ancient temples that can bring them in.

If NK had beaches and ancient temples that tourists wanted, we probably wouldn’t even be dealing with this situation.

The obstacle came one day after the U.N. Security Council on Saturday unanimously approved new sanctions against North Korea in the wake of the communist nation’s first successful tests of ICBMs capable of reaching the U.S. mainland.

Meanwhile, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Sunday urged his North Korean counterpart to abide by U.N. resolutions and stop provoking “the international community’s goodwill” with missile launches and nuclear tests.

Wang spoke to reporters in Manila after meeting with North Korean Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho on the sidelines of the ASEAN meeting.

Wang said the two had an intensive conversation during which China urged North Korea to maintain calm. He said he told Ri, “Do not violate the U.N. decision or provoke the international community’s goodwill by conducting missile launches or nuclear tests.”

Wang also urged the U.S. and South Korea “to stop increasing tensions” and said that all sides should return to negotiations.

The sanctions resolution approved Saturday bans North Korean exports of coal, iron, iron ore, lead, lead ore and seafood — resources that are worth over $1 billion to the regime of Kim Jong Un. North Korea exported an estimated $3 billion worth of goods last year.

Nikki Haley, U.S. ambassador to the U.N., praised the new sanctions, telling council members after the vote that it is “the single largest economic package ever leveled against the North Korean regime.”

But she warned that it is not enough and “we should not fool ourselves into thinking we have solved the problem — not even close.”

“The threat of an outlaw nuclearized North Korean dictatorship remains … (and) is rapidly growing more dangerous,” Haley told council members after the vote.

Countries are also banned from giving any additional permits to North Korean laborers — another source of money for Pyongyang. And it prohibits all new joint ventures with North Korean companies and bans new foreign investment in existing ones.

The resolution was drafted by the U.S. and negotiated with North Korea’s neighbor and ally China. It is aimed at increasing economic pressure on Pyongyang to return to negotiations on its nuclear and missile programs.

The Security Council has already imposed six rounds of sanctions that have failed to halt North Korea’s drive to improve its ballistic missile and nuclear weapons capabilities.

“All of this ICBM and nuclear irresponsibility has to stop,” Haley told reporters as she headed to the council to vote.

The entire assumption that Kim Jong-Un is insane is, I believe, wrong. If he was insane, how could he keep running a country?

The fact is that the West has continued to threaten him, endlessly.

The other fact is that China could shut it down at any moment if they so chose.

The NK state was meant as a proxy of China to use to threaten the West. It is a barrier. Maybe, it’s gotten out of control – I don’t know. But even if it has, they can still shut it down if they want to.

Probably, that is what Trump will end up negotiating.

But that is going to be an international crisis.

Unlike when the Berlin wall fell, and the East Germans were excited to reunite with their more degenerate kin, if the DMZ between North and South Korea falls, the North Korean population is going to be in a state of total panic and fear.
