Ratchet things up another level.

Quote:
Despot leader Kim Jong-un has warned North Korea poses a 'substantial' nuclear threat to the US - as his regime branded tough new sanctions against the country 'criminal'.

New measures proposed by US President Donald Trump and designed to strangle Kim's hold on the secretive state have been described as a 'criminal document' by defiant regime chiefs.

U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley said after the vote that "the unity this council has shown in leveling these unprecedented sanctions is a reflection of the international outrage at the Kim regime's actions."
The Security Council has stood united for the 10th time "against a North Korean regime that rejects the pursuit of peace," she said.

So when the UN agrees with us it is unity but when the UN disagrees with us it is an attack.

Got it

Either way I suppose but sanctions have not prevented the bugga of nearing his ultimate goal.

It boils down to one conclusion that we can't do a darn thing about it ...

Trump is Trump and Kim Jong-un is Kim Jong-un

What will be will be ...

I do not know these two personally

I don't know if one of them are a gambler

Because if one of them is-He, however it is, will do a darn thing about it

And we can only hope he will come to his senses and listen to what his staff tells him, before he gives the order.

I really really think this is the right way to go ... I hope the USA does more of this kind of thing. Where is the Army tricks department anyway?

Don't they have a budget?

Quote:
North Korean defectors are ramping up a campaign to covertly flood their former homeland with flashdrives and balloons full of news bulletins and documentaries to counter state propaganda as tensions escalate with the US over Pyongyang’s nuclear and missiles programmes.

Assisted by the US-based, and privately funded, Human Right Foundation (HSF) their ultimate aim is to bring down the pariah regime from within, by engaging directly with North Koreans, providing illicit information that will influence mindsets and fuel dissatisfaction.

Up to 10,000 flashdrives were successfully smuggled into North Korea as Pyongyang’s relations sharply deteriorated over the past year, said Alex Gladstein, HSF’s chief strategy officer.

But with traditional military and diplomatic strategies apparently failing to temper the threat of nuclear conflict, activists are now working furiously to reach a target of 100,000 by mid-2018.

Mr.Quatro, I went there and felt like it was a fast URL maker. But, they kept my picture. I could not find a place to log-in or a place to go to and just view MY pictures that are up-loaded.

I am not looking for much. Also, it all seemed Google-based and I have Windows.

Still a little confused.

South Korea has revealed it seized a Hong Kong-registered ship last month suspected of supplying oil to the North in breach of international sanctions.

Heard something about China giving/selling oil to NK some satellit photo should prove this. The source should be Fox News.

Trump had as usual Tweeted about this.

North Korea warning: US must prepare for World War 3 with Kim's allies in China AND Russia

Quote:
China was recently caught allowing oil to enter North Korea in spite of widely approved United Nations' sanctions forbidding oil trade with Pyongyang.
Quote:
US President Donald Trump slammed China for its double-edged behaviour, saying he was "disappointed" by Bejing.

Mr Trump wrote on Twitter: "Caught RED HANDED - very disappointed that China is allowing oil to go into North Korea. There will never be a friendly resolution to the North Korean problem if this continues to happen!"
