I feel uneasy about this. Despite the provocations; dialogue should still be sought after.

Especially as it's looking like DPRK could be on the brink of another famine.

Dont know what these additional sanctions will achieve China has been doing what it likes - how else can such an isolated country advance its missile systems so quickly.

China's foreign ministry denounced Japan's decision as unacceptable and "wrong."

Wow...China doesn't even try to hide the fact that they support North Korea anymore. If we only didn't have such a gullible President.....

Reckless and incompetent Kishiba is part of the reason for the worsen situation in North Korea and North East Asia.

Yep! I agree it is wrong. It only effects the already impoverished people of the DPRK. Little Kim is just a spoiled brat waving his toys around. The more other countries condemn him the more power he gains. They should just give him what he wants and let the little boy concentrate on his own little games. I feel more danger from eating a beef bowl at Yoshinoya than from little Kim's threats.

I feel uneasy too, dialogue should always be the first solution and Japan is telling too often that they do not want to have a dialogue at all.

China is upset? Japan must have done something right.

The Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea has fired another missile and it may of impacted either in Japanese waters or on Japanese soil.

Western powers can never gag Nort Korea by putting maximume pressure on their economy. North Korea will either assault in a final and desperate attempt to gain international recognizition or let themselves be incorporated by either China or the Russian Federation, which I doubt will prove beneficial to either South Korea, Japan or USA. This game of sanctions isn't solving any of the fundamental issues surrounding the peaceful reunification of the Korean Peninsula!

"Reunification" of the Korean peninsula is a pipe dream as long as the Kim Dynasty continues to rule NKorea. For the simple reason that the only reunification they would accept would be under the Kim's rule. Everybody in South Korea who thinks that's a good idea raise your hand...

Suppose it drops on JPan accidentally .

History Review A Bomb was supposedly to be dropped to Kokura but because of weather, it was dropped to Nagasaki. Instead of LA, maybe Tokyo?

Sanctions, Sanctions, Sanctions... seems nothing is ever achieved with Sanctions.

Action is required.
