UNITED NATIONS, April 2 (Reuters) - Japan will call an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council to discuss a possible response if North Korea launches a long-range rocket in the coming days, Japan's U.N. envoy said on Thursday.

Ambassador Yukio Takasu, speaking after a closed door council meeting on other issues, said he brought the issue up before the council. He said an emergency session on North Korea could take place this weekend if the rocket is fired.

Pyongyang has said it will send a satellite into orbit between Saturday and next Wednesday, but the United States, South Korea and Japan say the launch is a disguised test of the long-range Taepodong-2 missile, which is designed to carry a warhead to U.S. territory.

Takasu told reporters intensive diplomatic efforts were under way to persuade Pyongyang not to launch the rocket, which he said would represent a "threat to the security of Japan" and would further increase regional and international tensions.

"If this effort does not result in a positive way, Japan will request an urgent meeting of the Security Council to discuss this issue and discuss a response," he said. "We must be clear and firm. This could take place this coming weekend."

Takasu gave no details on what response his country would like the 15-nation Security Council to make, but said it was possible Japan would press for a legally binding resolution.

He declined to say whether such a resolution would call for new sanctions or better enforcement of existing sanctions against North Korea.

Council diplomats say that both Russia and China, which are permanent veto-wielding members of the Security Council, have made clear that they would not support a resolution imposing new sanctions against North Korea. (Reporting by Louis Charbonneau; Editing by Doina Chiacu)

You guys do know he's a stroked out vegetable and isn't running the show any more, right? I mean you obviously wouldn't be talking about something not knowing the facts, right?
I'm agreeing that he has/had severe mood swings (based on shit in the past and not on the article.) I'm also torn between him actually being dead and a double taking his place or him being like you (a stoked out vegetable) and a double taking his place.

Anything else you want to know or will you reply with another sarcastic post?

Do you have proof that Kim Jong Il is a stroked out vegetable?


As far as the satellite launch goes, the world is trippin off North Korea launching the satellite because that's the same way they would launch a long range ballistic missile. The payload aint the problem, they just don't want North Korea to practice, and perfect their ability to launch shit. Personally, I think Sunday Morning when the sun comes up here they're gonna launch the shit, and either it falls into the East Sea, or the people launching it catch fire and it goes no where.

once news of his death actually comes out and there's some interior struggle up North, I'm gonna try to get the fuck off this peninsula.

im not sure if they was an agreement on the 90s. would you make an agreement like that with n korea? i sure as hell wouldnt trust them.

but in this case, they already launched the rocket, from what i heard. it just sounds like propaganda from the rest of the world.

like i said the rest of the world needs to prove taht is was a satelitte and not a missle rocket b4 they can jump to any conclusions.

i dont think so, i couple years ago, they publicly stated taht if they didnt receive some international funding, rice, and some cognac from kim jung, they would go back and turn on the nuclear reactors, and start the process.

n. korea is the mischievous kid in the room. always telling other countries that they will do shit if they dont get they way typa shit.

pesonally im getting sick of the world. in the future im gonna go live on a farm. and get away from it all.

Nobody's jumping to any conclusions, as far as world leaders go. They don't want North Korea launching rockets point blank. They don't give a fuck what the payload is, satellite or not, they don't want North Korea learning from the launching of anything.

Well.....It went down. They launched! I was stationed in S. Korea about 35miles from the DMZ 2006-2007. I’ve been to the DMZ and all that. I was there when they launched those other missiles and believe me everyone flipped out. I can only imagine what the troops are going through right about now. The problem with the North is that their ground force is no joke. The bases that the US/S. Korea has are mere speed bumps. If a war went down, we would be taken over rather quickly. We would be struggling to regain our foothold.
It’s really crazy when you think about the dynamics of the situation. Lil’ Kim has the whole North isolated. Their view of reality is skewed. They truly believe they are “THE” world power and that the South is struggling to keep up. They have zero access to the information on the internet. They think that things are still as they were 50yrs ago.
The reason I don’t think they would ever invade is this…….Imagine a couple hundred thousand troops from the North invading the south. They leave from lonely Pyongyang, and 35miles later they stumble upon Seoul! WOW. I think their whole reality would crumble. They would see the worlds 6th most densely populated city thriving and realize that they have been bamboozled! Taco Bell, Mickey D’s, BK, KFC, the massive public transit system, the retail outlets & Malls, the abundant amount of vehicles on the road and true freedom. I don’t think Lil’ Kim wants them to lay eyes on the “real world”. For this reason, a war will not happen. Look @ the differnece between the North and South in the pix below. Share your thoughts?

I'm in korea right now and people ain't trippin. Nobody will support the North because they still portray the image of the "evil" communists. People like China are tryin to show the world that communism works.

And I disagree with how strong the North Korean army is. They don't have the ammo to fight a long war or the supplies. And if they were stock piling sh*t for the last fifty years then they're stock pile is outdated as fuck. People underestimate the South Korean Army. They get all thier sh*t from us so it's all new and updated. We don't got to lick our fingers and put that shit in the wind and then adjust our artillery. LOL! And nowadays people say the reason we are here is to stop the South from invading the North. The South Koreans are sick of that mothufucker. All he does is oppress his people and bitch to us that we won't let him build nukes. When what the fuck he should be doing if he is such a great and honorable man is feeding his people instead of teaching them to fight a war for no reason that they have no chance of winning. That bastard has ten wives and a beer belly when 90% of his people don't have sh*t and aren't allowed to do shit about it.

If they attack it will be bloody for the North and the South will garunteed take Pyoungyang in a month. We got planes that shoot so fast they can literally rip tanks in half. We got rockets that can fire a million different seperate smaller missiles that follow moving targets (humans) to smash any infantry move they try and make. We got artillery that can take out a thousand meter grid squares at a time with range you couldn't fathom. We got the biggest baddest Navy in the world with submarines that can fire missiles undetected. We got an air force so advanced thier planes don't even need pilots. Each one of our foot soldiers has the capability to carry a rocket lighter than the backpack you wear to school with enough destructive power to disable a tank.

And I agree with the post above that if the North Koreans were to lay eyes on South Korea they would realize that they have been lied too and would probably not surrender but just straight up defect or cause a mutiny. The South holds no hard feelings and will welcome thier cousins with open arms and food and education in a free society. But that bastard has no right to make any fuckin demands of South Korea if he chooses to keep on oppressing his people. Why would the South give you aid to starve and mistreat thier cousins? And only a coward would use his own people that he keeps poor as leverage to get money for his own selfish intentions.

I seen that shiet before, it's kinda cool, but a lot of their commentary aint really necessary. They just say some random shit about North Korea without any facts.

I don't think any government/country can trust another. Even our allies who are dependent on us do shady shit to us.
I just used that example that if N. Korea lied about that, it's possible they're lying about this.
Then again I was reading more about the agreement on wikipedia and first it makes it seem like they were secretly making nukes anyways, and then another part says that they turned the reactors back on because the US reneged on part of the deal.
So I don't know for sure how the whole thing really played out.

like i said the rest of the world needs to prove taht is was a satelitte and not a missle rocket b4 they can jump to any conclusions.
I agree with you on that. I used the previously example only because N. Korea's previous actions make it possible that they are lying about their intentions.
But yeah, after finding NO WMDs in Iraq after invading, what credibility do we have right now?
