I'm sure Seoul and Tokyo are a bit more anxious this morning. But soon it won't matter:

PRAGUE - President Barack Obama on Sunday launched an effort to rid the world of nuclear weapons, calling them "the most dangerous legacy of the Cold War" and saying the U.S. has a moral responsibility to lead as the only nation ever to have used one.

In a speech driven with new urgency by North Korea's rocket launch just hours earlier, Obama said the U.S. would "immediately and aggressively" seek ratification of a comprehensive ban on testing nuclear weapons. He said the U.S. would host a summit within the next year on reducing and eventually eliminating nuclear weapons, and he called for a global effort to secure nuclear material.


I think they got everyone's attention if they didn't already have it. The world isn't going to let Kim go much further down this path. YMMV.

...he called for a global effort to secure nuclear material.

Ambiguous 'Merkan language surrenders. I'm sure that he means "secure" as in "to guard/protect" and does not mean "secure" as in "to acquire".
