I read this article this morning about North Korea saying that sanctions applied against it will be a “declaration of war.” This is in response to the UN condemning the country for launching a rocket earlier this month, which was in direct violation of a 2006 Security Council resolution.

Basically, Norh Korea is attempting to use some crazy logic to rationalize increasing their defense capabilities, including developing nuclear weapons. They even went so far as making a statement “. . . never forget that Seoul is just 50 kilometers away. . .”

This scares the shiznit out of me. I am very interested how the UN with work with the US, Japan, and China in regards to getting North Korea back on the leash. Time will tell.
