The U.N. Security Council is expected to approve tough new sanctions against North Korea on Friday, U.N. diplomats said.
The draft resolution, which would impose new sanctions on the reclusive communist nation's weapons exports and financial dealings, and allow inspections of suspect cargo in ports and on the high seas, was put in a final form late Thursday. The council scheduled a meeting late Friday morning to vote on it. The draft was hammered out during two weeks of closed-door negotiations
I think they are trying to buy time so I say "hit them now".

The Korean war may start again. South Korea, japan and US on one side and China on the other.
I'm not so sure China will be on NK's side if a war should start again

China is neither Communist or Capitalist, it is criminal run by Triads.
I know this for a fact but choose not to elaborate any further.

We know Russia and China DON"T have US?NATO/West's best interest at heart.
That said, I KNOW China and Russia don't want to give the US/West an opportunity to place troops and equipment right on their border...
Much-less fight a war that "MAY" go nuclear.
ONLY because it is both their best interest, will they rein in little kimmy.

Both North Korea and the UN know that the UN can't do a darn thing about North Korea's nuclear missiles. If North Korea keeps it up, all the UN will do is issue more useless sanctions and resolutions.
