The United States on Sunday sharply condemned a North Korean plan to test-fire
an intercontinental ballistic missile and warned Pyongyang against “provocative actions.”
The toughly worded US statement called on “all states” to show the North
that any unlawful actions would have “consequences.”
It was issued by the Pentagon at a sensitive time – just weeks
before President Barack Obama is due to hand power over to his successor, Donald Trump.
The statement came hours after Kim Jong-un, the North Korean leader,
said his country was close to testing such a missile, which would be capable of reaching American shores.
“We are in the final stages of test-launching the intercontinental ballistic missile,”
Kim said in a televised New Year’s speech, pointing to a string of nuclear and missile tests last year.

He said Pyongyang was now a “military power of the East that cannot be touched by even the strongest enemy.”
The Pentagon statement noted that
“multiple UN Security Council resolutions explicitly prohibit North Korea’s launches using ballistic missile technology.”
It urged Pyongyang to “refrain from provocative actions
and inflammatory rhetoric that threaten international peace and stability.”
The statement reaffirmed Washington’s “ironclad commitment” to defend its allies,
using “the full spectrum of US extended deterrence capabilities.”
Pyongyang has never successfully test-fired an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM),
and analysts are divided over how close it is to doing so.
But all agree it has made enormous strides in that direction
since Kim took over as leader from his father Kim Jong-Il, who died in December 2011.

Hopely , new powerful president as business man

We literally live under the circumstances that threatening by nuclear weapons.
So it makes us feel so insecure and scaring.
I am keeping my fingers crossed to elect the president someone like 이광유.
Lee Kuan Yew's most great tasks was to provide stable jobs for its people,
as unemployment was high, upon Singapore's independence..
and he had decided the best way
to boost Singapore's economy was
to attract foreign investments from the multinational corporations ,
by establishing an infrastructure and standards in Singapore.
Lee also worked to establish Singapore as an international financial centre.
Foreign bankers were assured of the reliability of Singapore's social conditions,
with top-class infrastructure and skilled professionals,
and investors were made to understand that the Singapore government would pursue sound economic policies.
Singapore had problems with political corruption...
He has taken anti-corruption measures and carried affirmative actions ...
Now he has made Singapore what it is ....
No communist , no demonstration and no corruption in Asia countries ..
I agree with you as saying you are keeping your fingers crossed to elect the President someone like 이광유 ....^
