President Obama orders stricter sanctions on North Korea after Sony hack

[SirNumbers]

 

 

According to a press release that just hit the Treasury Department's website, President Barack Obama has issued an executive order that calls for even more restrictive sanctions on North Korea for its role in the massive hack attack on Sony Pictures late last year. In his words, the new financial clampdown is because of North Korea's "destructive, coercive cyber-related actions during November and December."                    -Engadget

If the reason North Korea was so backwards were such sanctions, It just got worse. 

 

 

 

"Today's actions are driven by our commitment to hold North Korea accountable for its destructive and destabilizing conduct,Even as the FBI continues its investigation into the cyber-attack against Sony Pictures Entertainment, these steps underscore that we will employ a broad set of tools to defend U.S. businesses and citizens, and to respond to attempts to undermine our values or threaten the national security of the United States"                                                                                                                                                                                                                                - US Treasurer 

You've made a mistake Kim Jong-Un.

 

The movie was dumb too its funny.

Too top it all of the populations probably has no clue whats going on, They believe that North Korea was the first to get a person on the Sun, and that they went at night to Avoid the Suns Rays :FACEPALM: http://waterfordwhispersnews.com/2014/01/21/north-korea-lands-first-ever-man-on-the-sun-confirms-central-news-agency/

I probably wouldn't have seen the movie if sony wasn't hacked. It was ok, it is best to watch when you are REALLY tired or just plain high.

Even though we know it wasn't North Korea and it was probably just some guys who got fired...

Obviously just ignore all logic because they want to start a war with North Korea.

Not saying that I like North Korea though

The sad truth is that this will affect the people and not the state leaders.

North Korea isn't backwards because of sanctions, it's backwards because their leaders have been completely psychopathic megalomaniacs, who starve their people to death, arrest anyone who speaks out against the regime (and every single member of their family) and works them to death.

Really? They went at night to avoid being burned...... *facepalm*

[Teehee]

Just a matter of time before North Korea falls apart, but why not just sanction them like we have been doing for the last 50 years? Everyone knows NK didn't hack Sony, so just sanction them using humanitarian issues like we always have.

 

Now that we sanctioned Russia and North Korea, it seems we are ready to start the next world war.

Sanctions...OoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Time to start digging a backyard bunker.

it really seems as 

A: the fired employees took the chance

B: USA took the chance

 

To blame North Korea

The hacking went from " the SPE CEO is a bad person" and when people started to speculate about the interview went full steam North Korean...

USA took the chance with some made up clues and tries to protect their nation from North Korea... 

 

This hate us because they ain't us

did you just say Anus?

[fringie]

I still haven't heard any real specifics to how they know it was NK. It'd be nice to know or even a statement saying why we are getting given any info. All I know is the FBI 'figured' it out; I don't trust the FBI and their methods. I don't like NK government (dictatorship idk) personally but I think we need more than just here-say.. 

[The Crazed Child]

I wonder if this will be the last straw for North Korea...you can't get much more tougher than this.

This won't effect the people of NK, there is absolutely no outside influence, their government was already not accepting any outside help so this just restricts the help they refuse to take.

edit: we are going to have to ask china if we want sanctions that are effective http://atlas.media.mit.edu/profile/country/prk/
