| Norks Red-Faced as Russia Denies UN Security Council Claim |
| 2011-02-08 |
| North Korea was acutely embarrassed on Saturday when the Russian Foreign Ministry rebutted its claim that Moscow does not back UN Security Council debate on its uranium enrichment program. The North made the claim last Wednesday. But the Russian statement said North Korea's uranium enrichment capability has reached a level where it can violate UNSC resolutions and needs more careful international inspection. "We respect the opinions of other permanent members of the Security Council on this issue," it added. The North's official KCNA news agency had claimed, "Russia does not back UNSC debate, but media reports make it look as if the country were backing such debate." Earlier on Jan. 28, Alexei Borodavkin, the chief Russian negotiator to the six-party talks on the North Korean nuclear program, said in Seoul that Russia does not oppose UNSC debate on the issue. "Russia is displeased at the North's arbitrary distortion of its stance," a South Korean Foreign Ministry official said. "The Russian statement is a warning to the North." |

| #1 First JAPAN oer the latter's lost South Kuriles territories, now NORTH KOREA is unhappy. Speaking of NIPPON = FLYING DRAGON/FISH ISLES, VARIOUS RELATED ... * DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > JAPAN DEMANDS [return of] ISLANDS FROM RUSSIA. * CHINESE MIL FORUM > JAPANESE GOVERNOR BURNS RUSSIA FLAG IN PROTEST OVER KURILE ISLANDS | {Yahoo News, Freerepublic, Topix] RUSSIA + JAPAN WAGE WAR OF WORDS OVER ISLANDS. Protest rally was attended by Japanese PM Nato Kan. Japan FM Saehara repor claims he'd rather die + lose his career than allow Russia to permanently keep the former Japanese Kuriles = "Northern Territories". * DAILY TIMES.PK > JAPAN RALLY FOR RETURN OF ISLANDS FROM RUSSIA. Meanwhile, RUSS FM LAVROV > in response belabels Japan's statements as HOSTILE + clearly UN-DIPLOMATIC. Urges Japan to reconsider its position as well as to work wid Moscow on dev the Kuriles. Be it JAPAN ANDOR NORTH KOREA, IMO NOT GOOD KARMA FOR RISING CHINA'S AMBITION as per unrestricted PLA mil access thru the Kuriles = SEA OF OKHOTSK. Again, by declaring that the Southern Kuriles = Japanese "Northern Territories" are PERMANENT SOVEREIGN RUSS TERRITORY, IMO RUSSIA HAS ESSENS DECLARED THE SAME TO BE A RUSSIAN MIL ZONE REQUIRING RUSS APPROVAL = TREATY? TO TRANSIT. JAPAN'S SDFS + CHIN PLA are now all but absolutely limited to mil operations in the SEA OF JAPAN PROPER + SEA OF KOREAS/EAST CHINA SEA + TAIWAN STRAITS. This places priority in China on the SOUTH KOREA-OKINAWA-TAIWAN-GUAM CORRIDOR + the OUTCOME OF US-JAPAN TALKS ON MARINE RELOC TO GUAM FROM OKINAWA, since post-Soviet/9-11 Russia still has a deadly Strategic, Tactical Nuclear Arsenal while Japan has neither + likely to remain so 2011-2020/2025 unless something changes. Ditto South Korea. IMO CHINA gained nothing by Russia's Declaration - ANGRY JAPAN, on the other hand, indir gained a SSSSSSSSHHHHHHHH COVERT ANTI-CHINA PARTNER IN RUSSIA FOR THE MILITARY SECURITY OF NORTHERN JAPAN [wid the US in its South]. IRONY > CMF BLOGGER > opined that IFF JAPAN DOES DECIDE TO GO NUCLEAR + HAVE NUCWEAPS, CHINA WILL SWEAT FOR 10 YEARS AS JAPAN DEVS LR NUKE ICBMS, BUT THE US WILL SWEAT FOR 100 YEARS OR SO FOR SAME. OH THE SUSHI/TERIYAKI-MANITY! |
