#1 Do you think this marks the beginning of China reigning in the Hermit Kingdom?

perhaps it was all getting a little too out-of-hand and they don't want war.

Bloomberg is reporting artillery fire was heard from over the NK border in YeongPyeong (sp?) causing villagers to flee for the bomb shelters while the US put on a strong naval display with the SKs

#3 spanking time?

Hopefully. But along with the spanking I suspect there will be some education on how to get it right next time. And how they are going to make lemonade out of the lemons that have turned out to be the fruit of this latest misadventure.

Then it's "hands-off" time again, and hope for better fortune next time.

#4 "Reigning in" > Ruling or containing???

* ION PEOPLE'S DAILY FORUM > CHINA - THE BIGGEST VICTIM OF KOREAS" EXCHANGE GUNFIRE.

ARTIC = Directly or indirectly, CHINA = BEIJING may had suffered GREAT INTANGIBLE LOSSES as a consequence of North Korea's recent actions.

and

* SAME > [Wikileaks]LEAKED US DOCUMENTS: IRAN OBTAINED [Long-range] MISSLES FROM NORTH KOREA, as derived from Soviet BM-25/27 Series.

RELIABLE IRAN VARIANTS can threaten BERLIN + MOSCOW [+ large parts of Western China > Read, NUCLEAR UMBRELLA FOR UIGHUR MUSLIM SEPARATISTS].

Improved versions can oer time come to potentially threaten all of China???

* PAKISTANI DEFENCE FORUM > HAS CHINA FINALLY CROSSED THE MULTIPLE-WARHEAD RUBICON |[Washington Times] FISHER: CHINA AND START. US PROJECTIONS OF CHINESE ICBM WARHEADS [GROWTH Charts].

ARTIC = CHINA + PLA SECOND ARTY may have 500-PLUS STRATEGIC ICBM WARHEADS BY 2020 TO INTIMIDATE OR THREATEN THE US.

IOW, CHINA = Besides the US + RUSSIA, faces NUCLEAR-WANNABES JAPAN, SOUTH KOREA, + PHILIPPINES? VIETNAM? in front; wid NUCLEAR IRAN + NUC MILTERRS, -STANS IN ITS REAR, + NUC-PROTECTED UIGHURS? WITHIN.

All dats missing is for Radical Islam to take over NUCLEAR PAKISTAN + INDJUH [India].

OH WAIT ....

To wit,

* DAILY TIMES.PK > [US-NATO] WEST'S WAR IN AFGHANISTAN IS FAILING, SAYS ICG [Internat Crisis Group think-tank].

ARTIC > US-NATO PLAN to formally end PAK Combat Mission in 2014 will likely induce COLLAPSE OF AFGHAN GOVT IN KABUL; PAKISTAN TO BECOME ASIA'S + WORLD'S MOST ENDANGERED = THREATENED COUNTRY, vee both Militants + Security-minded/fearing India, China???

IOW, YOU-KNOW-WHAT will hit the fan in the POST-US-NATO REGIONAL RUSH TO SAVE AFPAK FROM RADICAL ISLAM + EACH OTHER + FROM NUC MILTERR'ISM/
NUCLEAR-ISM.

DPRK MAY BE TOO ECON TROUBLED = STARVING, ETC. TO CARE ANYMORE IFF OVERLORD CHINA "SPANKS IT" OR NOT???
