U.S. to North Korea: Stop It
No more acts of provocation, the U.S. says
The US government on Friday called on North Korea to refrain from "additional provocative actions" following reports that Pyongyang plans more nuclear tests.
State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland made the comment in response to a Reuters report that North Korea has told its key ally, China, that it is prepared to stage one or even two more nuclear tests this year in an effort to force the United States into diplomatic talks.

Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!
Or BHO will hold his breath until he turns blue!
Argggh, so tired of the pussyfooting with North Korea while we're fighting a bunch of brush wars against people who would stop fighting us if we left them alone. What's the point of having this huge, bloated military if we're only going to use it against shithole guerrillas instead of other militaries? It's not very libertarian of me to suggest, but why the FUCK are we not sending our drones after the guys who are very seriously threatening to nuke us one day?
