#1 shot on site
on sight, too

Also potted when spotted. Sniped if they're striped. Tie-dyed? Broadside. That's all I got.

#3 Better to make a deal with China, the ROK, Russia and Japan to divide Nork-land into a province of China (the north part) and a trust territory of the U.N. administered by the ROK (the southern part).

What about the part that glows in the dark?

#4 On site actually works in a way, if the site is behind a barn.

#8 I'm more inclined to think "China-ordered, NOKOR-fired".

Keeping the "status quo" on the Korean Peninsula = China's already excessive percentage share = domination of NOKOR trade will likely only increase to near 100.0% in due time, not less. COUNTING THE CIRCA 80,000-100,000 PLA TROOPS THAT ARE ALREADY BASED IN NOKOR MAINLY TO PROTECT THE KIM REGIME FROM ORDINARY NORTH KOREANS, IOW BEIJING DOSN'T REALLY HAVE TO FIGHT A WAR WID THE US-ALLIES TO TAKE OVER NOKOR.

And despite any risk that Pudgy = KJU may do something to unilaterally or asymetrically start a major US-China war to prevent NOKOR from being taken over or annexed by China, SOKOR will broadly or subjectively support Pudgy in his effort to force NOKOR-SOKOR reunification as this may be the only or last chance for de facto Inter-Korean reunification before NOKOR is forever lost to China.

* Lest we fergit, VARIOUS NET > USFK CHIEF/COMMANDER: KIM JONG-UN MAY USE WMDS TO SAVE/PROTECT HIS REGIME [ + DPRK = North Korea].

Not unlike the US-USSR Cold war + Berlin Wall, SOMETHING'S GOTTA GIVE, + GIVE SOONER NOT LATER.

Only time will tell how US-SOKOR, ETAL. relations will be harmed, + the Balance of Power in North/NE Asia will be changed, iff NOKOR is lost to de facto Chinese takeover or annexation.

#9 Will the USN + Japan have enough BMD-capable AEGIS ships to protect the USN CVNS USS "GW" or "RR" from Pudgy/NOKOR - you know, CHINA??

Given as per the SCS ...

* RUSSIA TODAY > US NAVY DEPLOYS A SMALL ARMADA LED BY THE USS CARL STENNIS [NIMITZ-class CVN] TO SOUTH CHINA SEA.

I CVN, 2 CGS, 2 DDGS, + the good ole BLUR RIDGE ACC.

OTOH its been Obama Admin andor US Fed-DOD underlings that have been making statements lately, NOT THE BAMMER HIMSELF???

ARTIC DOESN'T INDICATE IFF USN WASHIPS WERE KEPT JUST OUTSIDE THE 12-NM LIMITS, OR SAILED WIDIN THE 12-NM LIMIT???

* RELATED NAVY TIMES > THE US NAVY JUST SENT A CARRIER STRIKE GROUP TO CONFRONT CHINA.

VERSUS

* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > STATEMENT OF THE PRC ON ESCALATIONS IN THE SOUTH CHINA SEA - " ... THE PRC [People's Republic of China] WILL DEPLOY
"DEFENSIVE PATROLS" TO SAFEGUARD ALL OF CHINA'S TERRITORIES AND NATIONALS, PRC HAS MORE ROBUST MILITARY CAPACITY ON STANDBY IFF NEEDED.

* SAME > [Naval-Today] US AIRCAT CARRIER PATROLS CONESTED SOUTH CHINA SEA, SHADOWED BY CHINESE WARSHIPS.

* GLOBAL TIMES > NO MORE SHIP GROUNDING TRICKS WILL BE ALLOWED IN THE SOUTH CHINA SEA.

YOOHOO, PHILIPINES, CHINA MEANS YOU!

* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > CHINA IS MAKING A BET THAT NO ONE WILL START A WAR OVER ITS [SCS] ISLAND-BUILDING.

* WORLD MILITARY FORUM > CHINA'S DEPLOYEMNT OF LR DF-21D, DF-26 BALLISTIC MISSLES OR ASBMS RENDERS GUAM USELESS TO THE US AS AN AIRCRAFT CARRIER STAGING BASE.

* SAME > US CONGRESS-APPROVED END TO THE COMPACT OF FREE ASSOCIATION [CFA] WITH MICRONESIAN ISLAND STATES GIVES CHINA AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEPARATE US MILITARY BASES ON GUAM FROM THOSE IN HAWAII, DEVELOP PACIFIC ISLANDS FOR CHINA'S USE.

YUUUP.

Ex-USN WW2 Fleet bases in Ulithi, Kawajalein, + Eniwetok, besides the ex-IJN base at Chuuk/Truk Lagoon.
