Can't help thinking this situation is like The Life of Brian . . .
Fatty Un does something and 'John Cleese' invokes an extraordinary meeting of the Peoples' Liberation Front of Judea (aka the UN).
It's not funny, but it really doesn't cut the mustard when the rest of the world 'condemn' Fatty Un, he really doesn't give a sh*t what everyone else thinks.
It's a no-win situation for the politicians/military with a potentially bad outcome or a worse one. Personally I don't think a peaceful outcome is possible as nobody in NK can actually tell Fatty Un it's going to end in tears without being fed to the dogs.
Where's the Neutron bomb when you need it . . .
