Security Council’s unanimous vote to step up sanctions on North Korea, with its profitable textile exports now banned and fuel supplies to the reclusive North capped after its sixth nuclear test. Japan and South Korea said after the passage of the U.S.-drafted Security Council resolution they were prepared to apply more pressure if Pyongyang refused to end its aggressive development of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles. China's big banks halt services for North Koreans, tellers say South Korea says North Korea must stop challenging peace, end nuclear program Although it has involved disturbing events — ballistic missile launches, nuclear weapons tests, military exercises, inane bombast — the North Korean "crisis" of recent months is largely an invented one, writes columnist John Mecklin. Mecklin, the editor of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, says there "is no definitive, publicly available proof that North Korea has a missile with the range to strike the continental United States, a miniaturized nuclear warhead to mate with it, and the shielding technology to make sure the warhead survives the heat and pressure of reentry to the atmosphere." That doesn't mean Kim Jong Un's weapons program isn't dangerous, but there's an "undeniable reality of mutual deterrence" between Pyongyang and the United States, says Mecklin.
