U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley took part in an emergency Security Council meeting on North Korea, lobbying for "the strongest possible" response to the recent nuclear test.
Two things: At the top of the meeting, a U.N. official said the blast was 5 times as powerful as those resulting from the attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. As it concluded, Haley said the U.S. would circulate a resolution against North Korea for a vote next Monday.
Some quotes from Haley:
- "We have taken an incremental approach, and despite the best intentions, it hasn't worked."
- "War is never something the United States wants, we don't want it now, but our people's patience is not unlimited."
- "We have kicked the can down the road long enough. There is no road left."
- "The United States will view every country that does business with North Korea" as aiding their nuclear ambitions.
