US official vows ‘swift and forceful response’ if North Korea tests nukes

U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman on Tuesday warned of a forceful response if North Korea carries out its first nuclear test explosion in nearly five years as she traveled to Seoul to meet with South Korean and Japanese allies and discuss the escalating standoff.

U.S. and South Korean officials have said North Korea is all but ready to conduct another detonation at its nuclear testing ground in the northeastern town of Punggye-ri, which last hosted a test in September 2017, when it claimed to have detonated a thermonuclear bomb designed for its intercontinental ballistic missiles.

While the Biden administration has vowed to push for additional international sanctions if North Korea goes on with the nuclear test, the prospects for meaningful new punitive measures are unclear with the United Nations Security Council divided over Russia’s war on Ukraine.

“Any nuclear test would be in complete violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions. There would be a swift and forceful response to such a test,” Sherman said, following a meeting with South Korea Vice Foreign Minister Cho Hyun-dong.

Like what?  A really, really strongly worded letter of reprimand?

Perhaps we'll threaten to send Tony Fauci over there, along with Hans Blix...

Well it's a democrat administration so I'm guessing they will send Lurch over to lecture them about how bad the testing is for globull warming/climate change and give them a great big sack of money. Is it just me or has Lurch been hiding? I hardly get to use this any more.

How could anyone look at Kerry, that horse faced pony soldier of Biden, and take him seriously?  Yuck Yuck.

Can you imagine just how low Biden has taken the standing of the USA within the world community?  Beyond belief, I am certain.  The American people really are dumb as a box of rocks.

Unfortunately with Joe at the helm, I think Little Rocket Man may get the last laugh.
