Last December (2012), North Korea launched a rocket, that was said, by the state of Washington, to be a ''ballistic missile test''. How pedantic is: ''No. Nuclear. Action.''? Jargon? Guessing it must be or the North is ''hobbesing-it'' because in February (2013) the North carried out its third ''underground'' nuclear test in defiance of the resolutions carried out by the UN's Security Council--word to keep in mind: defiance--. Why so serious North Korea? What are you asking for? Of course! US, drop your bombs. Not literally, of course. On Saturday October 11th, leader Kim Jong-Un, wraps-up threats towards the US by stating that the US government must withdraw its policy of hostility--sounding a little Putin-ish?--against the North if it wants ''peace'' on both the Korean Peninsula and the ''US mainland''. Hear that US of A? These disguising ''missile tests'', sneaky coercion, like letting off steam--literally this time--from the reactors in the central hub of the state (North Korea), China cutting ties with their ''buddy-buddy'' North Korea, in retrospect, all the the recent provocation awaits massive showdown. War of justice--such a paradox--or are we playing who's flicking the first domino?North Korea makes another statement on October 12th which entails emphasis on the United States to retire their ''various measures aimed to isolate and strangulate us.'' (World News) These comments arise after a two-day joint naval drill between Japan, South Korea and the US. This spikes threats and anger responses from Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea. On the following Friday, the North states that this kind of behaviour is ''serious military provocation'' and ''vowed (<--getting serious right here-->) to bury in the sea the American carrier taking part in the exercise.'' Ouch, America. If you haven't gathered, this means: Drop it, and fast, unless of course you want to rot at the bottom of the ocean like Un suggests.
The National Defence Commission of North Korea suggest that the ''constant nuclear blackmails and various war drills'' come to an end, pronto! The US speaks! Response from the United States states that the North must show tangible commitment--wasn't it North Korea that used ''vowed''? Hold the wedding bells!--towards abandoning its nuclear programmes if it wants substantial talks with the United States. Basically, North-Korea, this means: shut up, drop the ''bull--'' and
let us do the talking.
Match in the gas tank: BOOM! BOOM!

I do love your tone Ariana. I missed your commentary over the last few weeks. Your posts are always full of opinion and analysis... and... of course pictures, which I appreciate. Certainly, your take on the tactics of North Korea are sharpening. If Obama thinks that he has some measure of control over Kim Jong-Un, he would be better off assuming he is being placated at the very best. This man simply has too much to prove.
