<p>North Korea recently made claims saying the country successfully tested a hydrogen bomb that quickly prompted responses from nations across the world.</p>
<p>South Korea has lashed out against North Korea&rsquo;s recent nuclear test by asking China to enforce the strongest possible international sanctions against the country. South Korea&rsquo;s President claims its neighbor to the north flew over and dispersed propaganda leaflets calling South Korea&rsquo;s government &ldquo;mad dogs&rdquo;.</p>
<p>South Korea is not the only force pushing for sanctions. The U.N. Security Council has also expressed a desire in enforcing strict sanctions against North Korea, but understands doing so requires China&rsquo;s cooperation.</p>
<p>Although China has expressed frustrations with North Korea, it is believed the Chinese government fears a North Korean collapse because it would send thousands of North Koreans across the Chinese borders.</p>
<p>The U.S. has put their 28,500 troops stationed in South Korea on high alert after the nuclear test and is reportedly considering deploying B-2 bombers, F-22 stealth fighters and nuclear submarines.</p>
<p>The two neighboring countries are now in a Cold War-era standoff, with South Korea pledging to continue their loudspeaker campaign that blasts anti-North Korean messages to the North Korean people. An official from North Korea has said that these loudspeakers are pushing the countries to &ldquo;the brink of war&rdquo;.</p>
