UN IMPOSES TOUGH CURBS ON NORTH KOREA
[Backed by China, the move comes after reclusive nation's threat to nuke US]
The UN Security Council on March 7, 2013 voted unanimously for tough new sanctions against North Korea for its latest nuclear test, ignoring threats by the nutty nation to nuke the US.
Universally regarded as a psychotic basket case, North Korea saw its closest patron China join hands with the US to draft a resolution aimed at telling Pyongyang that the international community condemns its ballistic missile and nuclear tests and its repeated violation of Security Council resolutions.
However, both the US and China remained quiet on Pakistan, the country partly responsible for North Korea's advances in nuclear weaponry in exchange for ballistic missile technology. Like North Korea Pakistan too is seen as building a national narrative based on paranoia and conspiracy theories.
But the US is unwilling to confront it because of its perceived exigencies in Afghanistan and China prefers not to because of its usefulness against India and US.
On March 6, 2013 North Korea was at its bizarre best, threatening a preemptive Nuclear Strike against the US because it is using its 'puppet' South Korea to prepare for denuclearizing Pyongyang.
