#1 My reading and research is limited, Rantburg and a few others, but to defend pacifists or the undecided, at some point, is not worth American blood. The SK and Nipponese need to decide to piss or get off the pot.

#2 At the moment new posts seem munged up on the 'Burg, here's the latest bump in the night from North Korea:

BEIJING (Reuters) - China’s Earthquake Administration said on Sunday it detected a 6.3 magnitude earthquake in North Korea that was a “suspected explosion”.

The administration said in a statement on its website that the quake, which occurred around 11:30 a.m. (0330 GMT), was recorded at a depth of zero kilometers.

#3 Japan are the Offended party. They know about nukes and a region that quite conveniently failed in their "diplomacy"

Japan has has the COMMS.
And I trust them.

#4 When one NKorean person insults NKorean government, that person and three generations of that person are sent to death camps. People of higher stature are killed in horrific ways. So the people are completely conquered in NKorea.

Dear leader of NKorea loves the most horrific means of inflicting death and he should not be underestimated at what he will do. The more the world threatens him the more he threatens the world.

He pays close attention to US news. A few weeks ago it was said in the US news that the US had him in there cross hairs at a missile launch because he was in the open. Ever since, he has been under canopies during launches.

He will screw up, the world needs to keep him under pressure until he does give the world an opportunity to finish this.

#5 The SK and Nipponese need to decide to piss or get off the pot.

Their mistake was thinking they could count on us.

#6 It's always easiest to be a pacifist when no one threatens you. It becomes more difficult when you realize what you have to loose.

#7 Kimmie can destroy Tokyo. Japan has to live with that fact. I bet they begin to rearm, and develop their own nukes

#9 I've always figured the Japanese were not stupid or suicidal and had nukes that just needed final assembly on short notice
