South Korea has plans of calling on the UN Security Council to handle the North Korea problems after Pyongyang threatened that war could erupt soon.
South Korea President Lee Myung-Bak is appealing to its allies and the international community to aid in their retaliation and to help force North Korea to stop its nuclear weapons program.
The United States is also monitoring the North after the incident killing 46 sailors happened on March. The 1200 ton Cheonan was concluded to have been sunk by a torpedo launched by North Korea. This finding is that of the multinational probe done by South Korea’s allies.
South Korea has already taken some measures to keep their communist neighbor at bay. One of these is cutting of trade with the North. Seoul is constantly beseeching the Security Council to take action and likewise urging Pyongyang to stop its nuclear plans.
Admiral Robert Willard has said there doesn’t seem to be any unusual movements from north of the border. US forces have been told to be vigilant and be prepared for anything. Although they have warned of an impending war, Pyongyang has yet to make a move. “Everyone in the region is watching North Korea very closely,” said Willard.
North Korea still denies the allegation of the multinational probe and considers it a mere fabrication. They feel that the US and its allies have an ulterior motive in wanting them to be tasked to the Security Council.
President Lee mentioned that if war is inevitable, South Korea and the US will engage them if necessary.
