Arrr, Russia be swashbucklin' with their veto, but the U.S. be standin' tall, ready to keep an eye on those scallywags in North Korea. We'll be keepin' a weather eye on 'em, no matter what those landlubbers in Russia say!
In the language of a 17th-century pirate, me hearties, the United States and its scallywag allies be discussin' options both inside and outside the U.N. system to keep a weather eye on North Korea and its nuclear shenanigans, the American ambassador to the United Nations said on a fine Wednesday.Last month, the scurvy dogs of Russia vetoed a U.N. resolution, scupperin' the monitoring by U.N. experts of Security Council sanctions against North Korea. This move raised the hackles of the Western powers, accusing Moscow of tryin' to cover its arse by buyin' weapons from North Korea for its scrap with Ukraine.Arrrr, the U.S. Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield be sayin' she be lookin' to join hands with South Korea, Japan, and like-minded countries to keep the fires burnin' on this important matter. She be spoutin' about not lettin' the good work of the panel of experts go to Davy Jones' locker.Thomas-Greenfield didn’t give too many specifics about the discussions with the allies, whether the new monitoring regime be born in the U.N. General Assembly or outside the U.N. altogether. She met with the South Korean Foreign Minister and they be talkin' about next steps to keep an eye on North Korea.Arrr, the scallywags of Russia and China be blockin' efforts to monitor U.N. sanctions against North Korea. Thomas-Greenfield be lashin' out at Russia for breakin' them sanctions and China for protectin' the North.The tensions on the Korean Peninsula be as hot as the fires of a burning ship, with North Korea's Kim Jong Un throwin' threats of nuclear conflict around like pieces of eight. The United States, South Korea, and Japan be joinin' forces and sharpenin' their swords to counter these threats.Me hearties, the Security Council be keepin' a weather eye on North Korea since its first nuclear test in 2006. The resolution for sanctions was last passed in 2017, and the committee to monitor them had its wings clipped last month.Arrr, the panel of experts be investigatin' North Korean cyberattacks and their ill-gotten gains of $3 billion to fund their weapons. The scallywags of Russia be sayin' that these sanctions be as useless as a parrot in a hurricane.
