US tells North Korea not to carry out nuclear test
2012-04-10
The United States urged North Korea on Monday not conduct a nuclear test or launch a satellite and called on China to exert its influence over its neighbor to try to ward off such "provocative actions."
 
"Our position remains: don't do it," said spokeswoman Victoria Nuland. "North Korea's launch of a missile would be highly provocative, it would pose a threat to regional security and it would be inconsistent with its recent undertakings to refrain from any kind of long-range missile launches."
Yes, that will definitely take care of it. Tea, anyone?

#7  While, we may have suspended food aid, our Chinese brothers have probably not. Also, they would really like to see if our anti missile system really works and what exact frequencies our space radars use from which orbits...

that is, do not expect the Chinese to suppress their little brothers nor for their little brothers to suspend their business.

#4  They had an opportunity to get tons of free food and threw it in the trash. Why even bother with the formalities with this regime? Blast them and be done with it.
