#2 ION PAKISTANI DEFENCE FORUM > IS NORTH KOREA MOVING ANOTHER "RED LINE"??? Red Line(s) of ALL-BUT-ABSOLUTELY-CERTAIN US-ALLIED MIL COUNTERRESPONSE.

IIUC ARTIC > Iff the DPRK believes that it will ultimately be successful in "going Nuclear", it may be induced to shift "Red Lines" from ISOLATED SEA-BASED = OFFSHORE/COASTAL MIL CLASHES TO FREQUENT + ESCALATORY LAND-BASED MIL CLASHES, espec along iNTER-KOREAN DMZ.

IOW, STEADILY MORE-N-MORE "MAJOR" MIL INCIDENTS [Land] TANTAMOUNT TO NEAR-WAR OR DE FACTO ALL-OUT WAR, aka COLD WAR US-SOVIET STYLE "CREEPING/MANAGED MIL ESCALATION"???

["WAR GAMES" Movie + WOPR here].

NO? HARRY POTTER + "WIZARD'S CHESS"???

#4 Interesting indeed that they are pecking at each other across the water at Yeonpyeong Island instead of across the DMZ. Almost as if they want to show how tough they are but they're not really ready for the big show on land where stakes are higher and the escalation could get out of control very quickly. Just as well, I guess.

#5 Looks like the US-ROK have formally canceled a planned AMPIBEX for LOCAL "BAD/INCLEMENT WEATHER".

WEATHER MAPS = shows BETTER-THAN-THE-1944-NORMANDY-INVASION Clear or mostly clear???

The ROKS are repor considering cancelling this MLRS ARTEX???
