You know, one of the best decisions I ever made was moving from Los Angeles to New York. Why? Within a few years, North Korea may be able to nuke the West Coast of the United States. But according to the Washington Post, I’m not even safe here in Manhattan. Now I know how this guy feels. But this is a serious issue. North Korea tested yet another nuclear device this month.
Now despite repeated attempts to pile sanction upon sanction and isolate North Korea, the West has been able to do very little to curb Kim Jung-Un’s Fat Man dreams. North Korea is already economically isolated, and only China could effectively punish the regime.
