UNITED NATIONS - North Korea's U.N. envoy said on Tuesday that any U.N. Security Council action over the sinking of a South Korean naval ship that was hostile to Pyongyang would have a military "follow-up."
Seoul, which has accused North Korea of torpedoing the corvette Cheonan on March 26, killing 46 sailors, brought the dispute to the Security Council this month, asking the 15-nation body to take action to deter "further provocation."

Luckily, because of Obama's era of "smart power", we don't have to worry about North Korea anymore. /s

"NK threat #38...”We are weally, weally, sewious, we will blow-up the world.” " The world? No. A city, perhaps. These lunatic crazies just sank a South Korea corvette without any provocation, whatsoever. Who really knows what they're capable of. While it's currently impossible for them to launch a nuclear weapon and hit any US territory, it's not impossible for them to destroy Seoul, or to load up a nuke and sail it into Pearl or LAX harbor.
They do make a lot of seemingly "empty" threats, but the sinking of Cheonan was anything but an empty threat.

C'mon now, there can't really be a crisis going on can there? I mean, North Korea agreed to dismantle their nuclear weapons program at the 'Six Party Talks' started by President George W. Bush, which led to peaceful reapproachment between Pyongyang and Seoul, after all: former President Bush took North Korea OFF the list of terrorist states in October 2008 and LIFTED U.S. trade sanctions against them!
What's all the fuss about?
GWB took care of this, nothing to see here, move along.
