US Now Tracking Multiple North Korean Ships

This is the latest update on North Korean proliferation.

The United States said it was monitoring “multiple” North Korean ships suspected of carrying weapons and that it would discuss with its allies what to do with one suspect vessel it is tracking.

While the United States has been tracking the Kang Nam since last week, the Pentagon said it is closely monitoring several other North Korean ships allegedly carrying weapons. “We have been interested in this one ship [the Kang Nam], but we’ve been interested in, frankly, multiple ships,” Pentagon press secretary Geoff Morrell said.

The article goes on to note all the nations in the region, from Singapore to Myanmar, have stated they know nothing about the North Korean ship.

It is unclear where exactly the ship is going, what exactly the ship is carrying, or if the ship will be inspected once it arrives at its destination... wherever that might be.

Lots of questions, no answers yet. While I think the Obama administration was right to push for this UN Resolution, if the ship is somehow able to deliver its weapons right in front of the whole world there could be unintended consequences. I do wonder how North Korea will react if they feel like their threatening rhetoric contributed to their blatant disregard for the latest UN Resolution.
