#1 Although China could match it wid simulations or schemas of its own vee the ROK + Nippon, I suspect it will prefer not to do so to keep Best Frenemy Forever + SCO-CSTO "strategic partner" Russia out of the fray ASAP AMAP ALAP once the shooting does start.

Again, despite its problematic economy Russia's strategic + tactical nuclear arsenal remains much more powerful than China's.

* TOPIX > US PENTAGON PLANS FOR POSSIBLE NUCLEAR USE, agz seven countries espec i.e. China, Russia, Iraq, Iran, North Korea + Syria.

* SAME > A US NAVAL BLOCKADE OF CHINA?

This is where China + PLA may focus or concentrate most of its Nucsrikes agz, i.e. at SEA = SURFACE, UW NAVAL COMBAT AGZ THE US, ALLIED NAVIES; or in lessor in the air iff USAF strategic bombers are detected as incoming agz targets in the DPRK or espec mainland China.

Against LD/OTH US Milbases like Guam, PLA 2nd Arty aside what China has at this time is PLAN Submarines, not PLAAF transports for PLA AIrborne Forces.

* SIASAT DAILY > NEW CHINESE LEADER [Xi Jinping] CALLS FOR "WAR/COMBAT READINESS" [PLA, National] IN PARLIAMENT.

Historically, what China has is SHEER DOGGEDNESS - IFF IT FAILS OR IS BLUNTED THE FIRST TIME, IT WILL COME BACK AGAIN + AGAIN + AGAIN UNTIL FINAL VICTORY OR FINAL DEFEAT E.G. MONGOL INVASIONS OF JAPAN + "WARRING STATES" ANCIENT MIL CAMPAIGNS.

CHINA'S "WAY OF WAR" = SIMILAR IN MANY WAYS TO ISLAM'S "WAY OF WAR". Be it China andor Nuke-wannabe Islam, the US is a major, determinative, winner-take-all struggle wid the the two forces in Histoire' that can destroy it.

#6 There will be a B-52 flight tomorrow

One a day? What's that, about 1/67th of what normally flies daily in and out of Kimpo?

Call me when they start dropping enough chaff that the Nork radars can't see anything south of the DMZ.

#7 Nork missiles and/or US missiles will be flying over our house. Will let you know if we see anything.

#8 With the armistice cancelled, bring in the Bones and take down every bridge over the Yalu and Tumen. Use the Buffs to mine all the Nork harbors.

In two hours, we will have implemented effective sanctions.

#9 rammer---I have a detailed 11x17 report from the USAAF from my late stepfather on the whole mining operation against Japan home islands in WW2. It was amazingly effective, and basically shut down shipping, so no resources coming into the country.

#10 YONHAP NEWS > NORTH KOREA WARNS OF MILITARY RESPONSE [MilAction] TO US B-52 BOMBER, iff the US dares to deploy same on the Peninsula.

* WAFF > NORTH KOREA "BLOWS UP WHITE HOUSE + CAPITOL BUILDING" IN NEW VIDEO SHOWING THE US ATTACKED.

IIRC, this second DPRK anti-US Propaganda Video is titled "Firestorms agz the Headquarters of War".

* SAME > [StrategyPage] CHINA: KEEPING QUIET AND HOPE FOR THE BEST, vee vassal NOKOR's unilateral belligerence + its on-going islands dispute in East China Sea wid rival JAPAN.

* SAME > WILL RISING TENSIONS IN ASIA PUSH JAPAN TOWARD FULL-FLEDGED MILITARY?

IMO Artic also read, PUSH JAPAN TOWARDS DEV + PROCUREMENT OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS???


VERSUS

* TOPIX > TAIWAN AIMS 50 MISSLES [MRBMS] AT MAINLAND CHINA, to include Beijing wid more missles to come.

Another reason why I say that China's true or primary focii is NOT the Senkakus/Diaoyus Islands, but getting final military or sovereign control over TAIWAN.

* SAME > US WORRIED THAT NORTH KOREA MAY SELL NUKES TO ENEMIES.

NOKOR doing a Saddam/Iraq doing an Iran???

* SAME > [Mother Jones News] US PENTAGON IS SPENDING 1.0BILYUHN TO PROTECT AMERICA FROM NORTH KOREA'S NON-EXISTENT LONG-RANGE NUCLEAR MISSLES.

Dats because any LRBMS fired by NOKOR agz the US andor its East Asia Allies is covertly actually from China, i.e. CHINA-MADE + CHINA-ORDERED BUT NORTH KOREA-LAUNCHED/FIRED.
