When the lights go out...

This is an interesting situation brewing with North Korea and their decision to test nukes. In fact on Thursday, Russia and China have decided to oppose tough sanctions that the United States wanted to impose against North Korea. The reason being they (Russia and China) wanted extra time to work out a more moderate response to Pyongyang’s nuclear test stemming from October 8^th.

China is against authorizing punishment such as economic sanctions, naval blockades, and military actions, and with Russia, wants to see sanctions focused mainly on the nuclear and weapons programs of North Korea. This sounds like something out of the entire ‘Let’s leave them alone so they’ll leave us alone” playbook.

Doing nothing will not solve the problem at hand. Using force, or in this case tough sanctions, can and will shut down the operatives of North Korea. The picture above is of North Korea at night and you can see the electricity being used. As one article title stated, “North Korea may have the bomb, but not the Electricity.”
