Did USA and Russia listen to ppl when they are told not to build atomic rockets? What right did the UN having to say to an undepended state to stop building rockets?

I just want to point out that US embargo starved North Korean people not North Korean not democratic leaders.
The embargo is not because of nuclear program or their not democratic government system, since China has the same sort of government and extensive nuclear program.
US pressure on North Korea is only because US can push them but can't push China, that's all. I just can't understand why other countries align themselves with US on this barbaric embargo. I don't expect anything from NATO puppets, but why other countries didn't do anything to help North Korean people?
Apparently that will change soon, Mostly because north korean themselves.

Try to see that from this side: US went to N.Korea to discuss its nuclear program. Suddenly N.Korea wants to launch a rocket… got it? EXCUSE for US to put their “defence” missile shield in Asia!!! This is the same sh_t that happened with Georgia/Russia conflict in 2008 that they used to convince Poland and other European countries to join this “defence” shield! So obvious… And “Food Aid” from USA to N.Korea - WTF??? This is a joke!

“Seoul and Washington are worried that North Korea will use the launch of an Earth observation satellite, scheduled for mid-April, to disguise a test of long-range missiles capable of carrying nuclear weapons.”
- If they are afraid of that, it means is exactly what they aim constantly monitoring N Korea and preparing dastard attack. “North Korea, which after Kim Jong Il’s death had to appeal to the US to resume a food aid program, says the upcoming launch is vital for its economic development.”
- Is also quite unclear and confusing WHY on earth N Korea should expect a “food aid program” from the U.S. while everybody knows the U.S. has ever since the Korean war isolated, sanctioned, restricted, demonised, etc aggressive beha viour towards N Korea in order completely strangle her to death in any way possible? And are we to believe N Korea exists because of the noble mercy of USA??

The UN Security Council should forbid the US/EU/NATO from carrying out illegal military activities outside of their own borders.

There is a very lucrative market for someone who can place things in space and the US is afraid of the competition...and should be!

Just admit it U.S. you're REALLY just afraid of another country getting to space because you want it to be yours just like you pretend the internet is yours.
