North Korean Menace

North Korea has conducted yet another provocative nuclear test in the face of seeming worldwide opposition. I say "seeming" because I can not believe that if Red China, North Korea's patron state truly put their foot down, the nuclear test would have gone forward. In a world where Barack Hussein Obama is unilaterally reducing US defenses, North Korea's maniacal despot is arming up as fast his country's limited resources permit, but even more threatening to the world is the unrestrained rise of Communist China, who not only tolerates every North Korean excess, but allows them to proceed with a wink and a nod, knowing every action that hurts the West and Japan, aids in Red China supplanting America as the last superpower.
