North Korea Leader Ready For 'All-Out War' North Korea has vowed to scrap all peace pacts with the South after the United Nations imposed tough new sanctions on the country. The warning came as state media released pictures of Kim Jong-Un meeting troops on islands believed to be in the east of the country. The news agency KCNA said he talked of "all-out war" during the visit - and quoted him as telling troops to "make the first gunfire" in response to any attack. He said the slightest provocation would result in his immediate order for a "great advance" along the frontline, the agency reported. The UN sanctions, which aim to curtail the country's nuclear and missile programme, include financial restraints and a crackdown on attempts to ship and receive banned cargo. The restrictions prompted North Korea to threaten the US with pre-emptive nuclear strikes. China, North Korea's only major ally, said it wanted the sanctions to be implemented in full. It agreed to the restrictions after three weeks of negotiations. A statement released by China's Foreign Ministry called the sanctions a "necessary and moderate response" to an underground nuclear test last month . The test, just north of a site where Pyongyang carried out experiments in 2006 and 2009, was described by the UN Security Council as a "clear threat" to world peace. Susan Rice, the US ambassador to the UN, added: "When North Korea tries to move money to pay for its nuclear and ballistic missile programmes, countries must now block those transfers, even if the money is being carried in suitcases full of cash."

Hi Tomcat...
As I was leaving work tonight, my thoughts turned to this subject... and yes I have read different reports about this story...
Really, what do you think... Have we any real worry??
I wonder if its all bluster and buff... Isn't Kim Jong-Un the young new fella who wants to play war games.??? I am just a tad concerned...
Why do I have a feeling that the North Korea Leader will get cancer, same as former Argentine president, Nestor Kirchner (colon cancer) Brazil's president Dilma Rousseff (lymphoma cancer), her predecessor Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (throat cancer), Chavez...

Maybe you should find a stronger bridge and also reinforce your cardboard box to better protect your banjo and shoe shine kit... Yuh think...
Oh btw what the us government owes china is peanuts compared to what it owes its own people and it can print enough new money overnight to pay china back easily.
Banks to cash in as U.S. derivatives reforms go live
One of the two main prongs of the global regulatory agenda is to start policing the $630 trillion derivatives market, which mushroomed from the 1980s, when politicians were tearing down rules for the financial industry.
And the three major clearinghouses in the world function as near-monopolies.
LCH.Clearnet, which the London Stock Exchange is buying, clears 90 percent of bank-to-bank interest rate swaps.
The IntercontinentalExchange clears about 60 percent of the interbank volume in credit default swaps. CME , Chicago's powerful futures exchange, is the third big player, although it has a less dominant position.
There is no """peace pacts to scrap""" still in a state of war, between North and South.There is only a ""ceasefire agreement"",across the militarized borders.

South China Sea has become one of the worlds most volatile political football fields, there is a lot of BS, Huffing and Buffing going on in the area. A big move this week happened in Vietnam Russia to help launch Vietnam's submarines this yr Shoigu said the two ministers discussed "crew training and preparation of the submarines", for which Russian military schools will provide assistance.
In 2009, Vietnam ordered a fleet of six Russian Project 636M diesel-electric (Kilo class) attack submarines, in a step seen as an effort to counterbalance China's expanding maritime influence in the region.
Russia agreed on Tuesday to help train the navy and build new ships for Vietnam as defense ministers of the two Cold War allies held talks in Hanoi, which is seeking to counterbalance China’s maritime influence in the region.
