#2 DPRK PERTS > BIGGEST FEAR is that NORTH KOREA will dev RELIABLE PLUTONIUM + ADVANCED HEU NUCMATS FOR IRAN.

IOW, NUKE-WANNABE IRAN = "JUMPS" from SIMPLE DIRTY + EARLY URANIUM NUCBOMBS, TO HYDROGEN, PLUTNIUM = "GOING THERMONUCLEAR" WIDIN A SHORT TIME FRAME.

IMO also read, MILTERRS GO THERMO-NUKIES IN A SHORT TIME???

#3 OOOOOOPSIES, forgot WMF > NO CHOICE FOR CHINA BUT WAR:RUSSIA'S DESIRE TO LIMIT OR KEEP CHINA OUT FROM ARCTIC ROUTES + SEOUL'S DESIRE TO BASE US TACNUKES IN SOUTH KOREA TO COUNTER NORTH KOREA'S NUCPROGS NULLS CHINA'S ACCESS INTO NORPAC, WESTPAC VIA "FIRST ISLAND CHAIN". INDIA + RUSSIA + US IN SEA OF VIETNAM + SOUTH CHINA SEAS AGZ CHINA.

* TOPIX/WORLD NEWS > US: NO DECISION [yet] ON SOUTH KOREA TACNUKES.

SRI LANKA = former CEYLON is [politely]turning into another ANTI-CHINA "VIETNAM II" for the US-RUSSIA-INDIA-JAPAN, while in PAKISTAN the PAK NAVY CHIEF would like to see the GWADAR PORT DEAL wid CHINA CANCELLED???

IMO, BOTH RUSSIA + US ARE TRYING HARD NOT TO SAY THEY SSSSSSSSHHHHHHHH WANT JAPAN [ROK?]TO GO NUCWEAPS NUKULAAR???

#4 It's not a crisis... look away, look away...
nothing to see here

because....

we are broke, stretched across Iraq and Af-Pak and we CAN'T afford another war front

and so we are trying to pretend it is not a crisis

so it doesn't look like what it is

a testing of power relations to see how the chips are gonna fall now.

and now the whole world sees how they are gonna fall

china is happy: it means US is too weak to fight back so is urging calm.

china's plans to do whatever the hell it wants will proceed apace.

now we can forget a floating yuan and don't bother about pressure for human rights abuses because the Hermit Kingdom just got a free pass to pump artillery on the south

that is what it is looking like as the hours pass....and comments like this one come out.... though maybe this came out before the shelling
