North Korea to match sanctions with 4 nuke tests

[Weatherman]

U.S. intelligence officials have warned President Obama and other senior American officials that North Korea intends to respond to the passage of a U.N. Security Council resolution this week — condemning the communist country for its recent nuclear and ballistic missile tests — with another nuclear test, FOX News has learned.

What's more, Pyongyang's next nuclear detonation is but one of four planned actions the Central Intelligence Agency has learned, through sources inside North Korea, that the regime of Kim Jong-Il intends to take — but not announce — once the Security Council resolution is officially passed, likely on Friday.

The other three actions include the reprocessing of all of the North's spent plutonium fuel rods into weapons-grade plutonium; a major escalation in the North's uranium-enrichment program; and the launching of another Taepodong-2 intercontinental ballistic missile from the Yunsong military complex on the west coast of North Korea. The North last launched a Taepodong-2 on April 5; it conducted its second nuclear test in the last three years on Memorial Day.

The intelligence community only learned of North Korea's plans this week, prompting CIA to alert senior officials. Asked who would be briefed on this kind of data, a source told FOX News: "The top people: POTUS, DNI." "POTUS" is acronym for the president of the United States; "DNI" refers to the director of the Office of National Intelligence.

Little wary about the news source but if true damn, they're going for broke aren't they.

Impose new sanctions faster than they can build warheads.  Problem solved.

DPRK! DPRK! DPRK!

The title's wrong by the way, they'll test another nuke and make three more provocative actions which are

the reprocessing of all of the North's spent plutonium fuel rods into weapons-grade plutonium; a major escalation in the North's uranium-enrichment program; and the launching of another Taepodong-2 intercontinental ballistic missile from the Yunsong military complex on the west coast of North Korea.

What I don't get is that North Korea is pissing off most of the countries surrounding it, including those immediately surrounding it, and the combined force could glass them over before they could get tac forces up and running, even without nukes. Is this some kind of warped suicide-by-multi-national-strike scheme?

NK will only get glassed if they nuke another country.

Headline on MSNBC.com says that the UN has approved new sanctions against North Korea.

The resolution imposes new sanctions on the reclusive communist nation's weapons exports and financial dealings, and allows inspections of suspect cargo in ports and on the high seas.

They can't take them out before they level Seoul.

I like it. Absolute genius! Brilliant!

You should be working on this for the UN or US government!

Hopw can you not get it?

We all know that all nations act in what the west consider to be a rational manner - that is the cornerstone of our foreign policy assumptions. Surely there is nothing to worry about here, NK would never do anything that was not in what we interpret as their best interests. Just like Iran.

And double sanction speed in the event of the nuclear destruction of Seoul. They'll be at their knees in no time.

Do like the Soviet Union during WWII and simply take Seoul apart and then rebuild it somewhere around Pusan.
