The remaining country leaders who were not invited to the conference in the early morning held by the Russian and Syrian presidents, Dmitry Medvedev and Bashar al-Assad, all stood worriedly awaiting a response from the American president.

President Obama too looked rather disquieted.

The United States unexpected loss of support from numerous countries (particularly ones from the MidEast) did not generate any sense of enthusiasm from the uninvited countries as they now feel exceptionally vulnerable. Future events are even more precarious than ever before as the world shifts in a dramatic fashion.

In an effort to take decisive action, President Obama addressed the Russian and Syrian led conference with an impromptu speech which involved the appearances of both Israel and Ukraine. To which Russia responded with message, "Bye, bye oil".

Ukraine also announced today that they were now a part of NATO.

Kim Jong-Il announced today that he has recently launched a military intelligence satellite into orbit on a date that is unknown.

The purpose of the satellite, according to Kim Jong-Il, was to keep an eye on the global community and to ensure the safety of their country. North Korea has one of the largest standing military's in the world and is now taking additional precautionary measures to supposedly look over its people.

The world is now under the watchful eye of the North Koreans.

In a country that has a third of its population suffering from hunger and a questionable famine that continues to plague North Korea, they continue to focus on the military.

The mysterious North Korean leader has once again set forth on actions that will be definitely met with the disapproval from the U.N as well as the rest of the global community. "America can react however they see fit which really doesn't concern me at this time." Said Kim Jong-Il. The calm and confident North Korean leader invited the United States, the country with the strongest military, to act however they please with his recent announcement.

Now, it's time for America to respond.
