Nikki Nuland: "If you are happy with North Korea’s actions... then veto any new sanctions,”

[goldenequity]

Ahead of the G20, starting in less than 48 hrs... Nikki babes sets the tone.

US threatens China & other nations trading with N. Korea after missile test (https://www.rt.com/news/395405-us-sanctions-unsc-meeting/)

North Korea’s latest ballistic missile launch is dangerous and requires an escalated diplomatic response, US Ambassador Nikki Haley told the UN Security Council. The US is preparing a new resolution that will likely target China’s trade with Pyongyang.

The launch was “not only dangerous but reckless and irresponsible” and “cast a dark shadow of conflict on all nations that strive for peace,”

While the US is “prepared to use the full range of our capabilities to defend ourselves and our allies,”
Washington prefers to use trade as leverage, according to Haley.

"One of our capabilities lies with our considerable military forces. We will use them if we must, but we prefer not to have to go in that direction," she said.

“We will look at any country that chooses to do business with this outlaw regime,”

THREAT

“If you are happy with North Korea’s actions, if you want to be a friend of North Korea, then veto any new sanctions,”

Moscow promotes joint Russia-China plan instead of US attempts to ‘strangle’ N. Korea at UNSC (https://www.rt.com/news/395423-russia-china-unsc-korea/)

“Sanctions cannot be a cure-all panacea. And this has been demonstrated by history,” Safronkov said in reply to Hailey’s impassioned plea, instead urging the nations to employ “creative diplomacy” to find a political solution to the escalating crisis.

“Any attempts to justify a military solution are inadmissible and will lead to unpredictable consequences for the region. In the same manner, attempts to economically strangle North Korea are equally unacceptable, as millions of North Koreans remain in need of humanitarian aid,” Safronkov stressed.

“Everyone needs to acknowledge that sanctions will not solve the problem. In that manner, we simply rush towards a stalemate,”

North Korean security concerns must be taken into account.

65% of Trump supporters would back a military strike on North Korea, according to a new poll.

The Twitter poll, which received almost 30,000 votes, asked “If Trump launched a military strike on North Korea, would you support it?”

Russia blocks UN condemnation of North Korea's missile launch (http://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2017/07/06/527643/US-UNSC-Russia-ICBM-Nikki-Haley)


Russian diplomats have objected to a United Nations Security Council (UNSC) condemnation of North Korea's recent missile launch,
saying the US-drafted statement referred to it as an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM).

Russia's UN mission said in an email to its Security Council colleagues on Thursday that
Moscow believed Pyongyang fired an intermediate-range ballistic missile on Tuesday.

"The rationale is that based on our (Ministry of Defense’s) assessment
we cannot confirm that the missile can be classified as an ICBM,"
"Therefore we are not in a position to agree to this classification on behalf of the whole council
since there is no consensus on this issue."

According to the draft statement, the council would start work on "further significant measures" against North Korea.

The UNSC statements have to be agreed by all 15-members.
It was not immediately clear if the US would continue to negotiate with Russia in an effort to reach a council consensus on a statement of condemnation.

US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley slammed Russia's reluctance to recognize that North Korea had test-launched an ICBM.

"If you need any sort of intelligence to let you know that the rest of the world sees this as an ICBM, I'm happy to provide it," she told the council.

Haley said the US would propose new UN sanctions in coming days.

North Korean security concerns must be taken into account.

There is nothing which can be offered in any negotiations which could convince North Korea to give up their nuclear weapons program. They see it in two ways- one as a way to gain prestige by showing what they can accomplish. Second as a deterrent to any other country considering attacking them- cheaper and more effective in the long run than expanding conventional military forces. Nuclear armed countries do not get attacked. Negotiations and sanctions will both fail.

While still trying to sound tough, Trump has backed off the rhetoric a bit. While he had previously tweeted that Korea nuclear weapons "won't happen"

https://theconservativetreehouse.files.wordpress.com/2017/01/trump-tweet-north-korea.jpg?w=640

He now says he won't draw any "red lines" on the issue now that that "red line" has been crossed.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-northkorea-missiles-idUSKBN19R1NM


Speaking at a news conference with Polish President Andrzej Duda, Trump said North Korea was "a threat, and we will confront it very strongly".

He said the United States was considering "severe things" for North Korea, but that he would not draw a "red line" of the kind that his predecessor, Barack Obama, had drawn but not enforced on the use of chemical weapons in Syria.

Trump added: "... they are behaving in a very, very dangerous manner and something will have to be done."

He says "we will confront it very strongly" yet seems to put all the blame and pressure on China to do something- a nod perhaps to the fact that there is really nothing short of bombing North Korea they can actually do. Nothing Russia can do either.


Russia objected on Thursday to U.N. Security Council condemnation of the North Korean rocket launch because the U.S.-drafted statement referred to it as an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), diplomats said.

[shakey1]

Haley unsurprisingly barks the party line while Russia's been exercising much needed restraint on this issue... hopefully cooler heads will prevail.

Was the recent NK test part of a grand chess game between China and US?

Why NK might want a nuke? You don't need a degree in quantum physics o figure it out.

Based on Washington's pattern and practice, having a nuke may be the only thing that stands in the way of Washington's next regime change.
