The UN? They must be scared less.
This is actually interesting. Their recent weapons tests have even pissed off China now.
http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2016/0...154647785.htmlThe UN Security Council has unanimously adopted a resolution that significantly expands existing sanctions against North Korea, in response to the country's recent nuclear test and rocket launch.
Wednesday's resolution was voted after being thoroughly negotiated by Washington and Beijing, the closest ally of the Pyongyang government.
US Ambassador to the UN Samantha Power said the new sanctions on North Korea go further than any UN sanctions regime in two decades, and are aimed at cutting off funds for its nuclear and other banned weapons programmes.
"Our collective security demands that we stop North Korea from continuing along this destructive and destabilising course," Power said.
"Yet, we've got to be honest, that while previous multilateral efforts, including the four previous sanctions resolutions adopted by this Council, have undoubtedly made it more difficult for North Korea to advance its weapons programmes, the regime continues to plough ahead as it demonstrated the last two months.
"That is why the resolution we have just adopted is so much tougher than any prior North Korea resolution."

Only the s can put a stop to North Korea.
Trade sanctions are trade sanctions and now that China has bought in they will really bite.
Sanctions in Iran got nuclear inspectors into their country. They also just had a major election where the hardliners were not able to fix the ballot near as much.
That is the point I was trying to make. China led the effort this time as opposed to every other time.
TBH they just have to stop sending them food.
Kim apparently now is threatening a 'pre-emptive strike' with their nuclear arsenal.
