North Korea “rhetorically expresses its anger” over sanctions
The United Nations Security Council imposed more strict sanctions on North Koea in an attempt to blunt their nuclear weapons program. North Korea responded with an angry letter, blaming the United States for the move, according to the Associated Press;
“It’s a wild idea to think the DPRK will be shaken and change its position due to this kind of new sanctions formulated by hostile forces,” said the statement, carried by the North’s official Korean Central News Agency. DPRK stands for the North’s official name, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.
The North’s statement “rhetorically expresses its anger” against the U.N. sanctions, but the country is not likely to launch a direct provocation against the United States, said Lim Eul Chul, a North Korea expert at South Korea’s Kyungnam University. He said the North could still carry out new missile tests or a sixth atomic bomb test in the coming months under its broader weapons development timetable.
Under the new sanctions, North Korea won’t be able to export coal, iron or lead. It also bans the export of seafood – I guess they’ll have to feed their own people now. Coal is it’s most profitable export, so they’ll have less cash money to buy imports. Well, unless China breaks the export ban like they’ve been doing regularly.

Wonder if any North Korean seafood ended up here? Served with head on and won’t hold still on your plate.
So that’s where Gas Station sushi comes from.
I’ve had a gas station sandwich…and it tasted like an old dry retread.
I made that mistake. Once.
The hyperbolic response is what I expected from the Dizzy Dynastic Dicktater.
I’m sure he’s loading another missile onto a launching ramp to send it up and over the Sea of Japan, to express his annoyance and scare the rest of us.
Red China doesn’t even follow its own rules. They’ll probably still buy shit from the norks. Probably at a discount, but still.
They may route it through Iran and make kim pay the shipping.
JUST what can the United Nothing do to enforce its sanctions when they get violated, write a letter and have a representative write a statement to the press?
Just wondering – surely there is some enterprising group somewhere who sells targets with the images of a certain fat-boy NORK, or which ever Ayatollah is the mouth of the week, or just your generic jumpin jihadi?
I wouldn’t mind importing some lead into North Korea. About 210 small bits, bundled in packs of 30, in copper jackets painted green at the tip.
Ahhhh….
Yet another reminder of the power and “nasticity” of a steaming pile of Phil Monkress.
