    Nice...

    Now the new question is, why is China conducting massive live fire drills near the NK border?

    truth
    did they say that for real?
    but we can get ready to the point that if they get a missile 100 ft off the ground, we can take action immediately without waiting for luke to talk to his brother to talk to his aunt to talk to his uncle to talk to his grandpa, to get the go ahead to save lives.

    Not that I am being a fear monger or whatever the hell it is..but I damn sure don't trust China any more than NK. On the world stage they told them to stand down, but is that what happens behind the scenes?

    One would think that is the logical answer, but with this admin I wouldn't count on it when it less than 100 miles from our coast, much less 100 ft off of the ground...

    their economy would take a tumble if they got into it with us

    if NK pulls a nuke the entire world will be against them, and I doubt china wants to start WWIII because of a tiny renegade nation state

    Thought I'd put a clip of Voice Of Korea I caught the other day here in San Francisco (HF shortwave radios is my hobby) in here so you all could get a feel of what a closed country sounds like. This is N. Korea's shortwave broadcast originating from their transmitter in Pyongyang and, believe me when I tell you, that their signal points towards the USA when they do the English broadcast.

    Their audio sucks and the announcer's English is kinda lousy (you can see me chasing the fadeouts with filter adjustments) but you can get the propaganda.

    I don't know dude, I think a lot of the powers that be are just itching to have a reason for global restructuring. If we think the cost of fuel and food is high now, just wait until one bomb gets dropped. Then we will all see how fragile the economy really is.

    NK economy? What in the hell is that?

    I don't think NK would even consider a nuke unless a drastic last resort. However, I do think that we may see a series of small provocative-type of actions designed to get a response from SK - maybe even some covert ops from NK designed to look like sabotage or the like. That way, it would "justify" it in their eyes for larger scale actions.

    Also, it would not surprise me in the least bit that if that started going down, then Iran would pull some shenanigans in their part of the world coinciding w/ NK's actions...

    er, china's economy

    Israel doesnt need much help from us to demolish Iran

    I also don't think NK has a tactically deployable nuclear device yet

    I am pretty sure they don't either, but they do have the capability of a dirty nuke for use by themselves or selling to terrorists...

    I think that if Iran pulls a stunt against Isreal, I would not be surprised to see Syria and the rest of Iran's buds gang up on Isreal...

    Very true...

    They are doing what they know best - keep pushing buttons until they get what they want...kind of like holding someone/something for ransom. As I have said before, I wouldn't be surprised to see some sort of small-scale, maybe even covert type of sabotage action designed to provoke SK/U. S./etc.

    Two points of interest: China is/was conduction massive live fire drills on their border with NK. Now we all know they won't attack NK, so why?
    Also, anyone notice that Iran is starting up two new nuclear programs? Anyone think these two aren't inter-related? Just sayin...

    This makes more sense than anything that's been said or reported by either side. All the analysis supposition fail that's been spread all over the news and here is the answer. Of course NK will never admit to it but we all know now why they are seriously in such bad moods all the time no matter how people treat them.
