North Korea

The leader of North Korea has stepped up the rhetoric with his intimidating words. He said, "... the chance of a nuclear war are the highest in the world." The consensus is that he has enough material to make 6 nuclear bombs.

The U.S. is emphasizing the importance of being firm with the sanctions. Unfortunately, stopping any ships headed for North Korea because of suspected nuclear materials may be the catalyst to push him over the edge. As I said before, my opinion is that he has nothing to lose, and only cares that his son take over and have the full power that he does. It seems that we may be destined to participate in another war, and this one with someone who can annihilate millions of people, and poison the air for an unknown number of others. This may be the event that I referred to in the last blog that sets the stage to affect all arenas of our lives. If this occurs, we will be exposed to another level of survival in addition to the affects we have felt from the collapse of the world financial markets.
