North Korea is Safe For a While

North Korea has made the following announcement:

We had already taken the resolute action of pulling out of the NPT and have manufactured nukes for self-defence to cope with the Bush administration's evermore undisguised policy to isolate and stifle the DPRK.

Emphasis Mine

Confrontation breeds confrontation. The U.S. ruling class has run out of reasons for it to control the world: bar one - it controls the world's most powerful military - for the time being at least.
