If you haven’t read the book, Red Phoenix, I suggest you do it now because it’s about to happen for real to some extent, some quotes from the sites below:

The US:

“It can have a future or it can have these weapons,” said Chris Hill. “It cannot have both.”

South Korea:

“Our government clearly reconfirms our position that we will never accept North Korea’s possession of nuclear weapons,” spokesman Chu Gyu-ho said. “And we urge North Korea to immediately cancel their plan for a nuclear test.”

China:

North Korea’s announcement that it plans to carry out a nuclear test is worrying its last remaining ally, China. Chinese officials are urging Pyongyang to exercise “calm and restraint” – but have stopped short so far of publicly warning the North or threatening any type of sanctions.

Russia:

Sergei Ivanov, Russia’s defense minister: “I am counting on the North Korean leadership to demonstrate restraint, caution and responsibility on this issue. [Nuclear] tests could inflict ecological damage on Russia.”

United Nations:

Secretary-General Kofi Annan on the DPRK “to exercise utmost restraint and adhere to the international community’s norm on nuclear testing and also observe the current moratorium.”

North Korea:

The U.S. has become more frantic in its military exercises and arms build-up on the peninsula and in its vicinity for the purpose of launching the second Korean war since it made a de facto “declaration of war” against the DPRK through the recent brigandish adoption of a UNSC resolution.
