North Korea ...
US wants the UNSC to vote next Monday to impose “the strongest possible” sanctions on North Korea due to its 6th nuke test - H-Bomb.
South Korea's top security officials lean towards military measures vs dialogue w/ North Korea-increases pressure on Moon to change course.
Note "planning" for possibility of mass evacuation - not bring 60,000 citizens home. But still , something to note.
China talks a good game , but at the end of the day , China continues to enable NK.
If off today , UNSC meeting will be televised at 10:30am..
Would be pretty wild to launch an ICBM so too, but I guess we shall see..
Trump & Moon set to discuss North Korea over the phone shortly

ICYMI: The August 29th IRBM launch wasn't a surprise. If they test an ICBM into the Pacific in the next hours, it won't be a surprise.
All testing will come to an end until the solid fuel ICBMs, 2nd generation SLBM, and canisterized ICBMs/IRBMs are ready for testing. 
The South Korean government is *not* requesting the deployment of US tactical nuclear weapons. (Contra a few reports in last 24 hours.)
