Has the UN given the US (and anyone else who wants to also play) a piece of paper that effectively allows us to wage war on North Korea? Certainly, North Korea will see it that way if we try and board any ships headed into or out of North Korea's harbors, whether in international waters or otherwise. What if they shoot at our ships, especially from land based locations? Can I expect that our ships and sailors will be allowed to defend themselves rather aggresively?

The implications of all this seem to be a great deal more serious than I am usually willing to give the UN credit for. Of course, when the shooting starts, it will still be the fault of the US.

I am a contrarian on this. I think it was worth a week's effort to get as much cover out ot the Security Counsel as possible. It also forced Russia and China to be engaged in the process.

We'll see how this plays out.

Apropos of nothin', John Bolton has a measured, pleasant speaking voice that does not at all sound like it comes from him. (Heard him on NPR a couple of times lately.)

Are we sure that's not a prosthetic mustache?
