#1 ION WMF > "SANKEI SHIMBUN" JAPANESE MEDIA: CHINESE RECCE PLANES [Y-8's] NEAR DAOYUS GATHER/GATHER INTELLIGENCE FOR PLA ATTACK THROUGHOUT THE "FIRST ISLAND CHAIN". Breakout = breakthrough PLA milstrikes???

Kyushu + Okinawa-Taiwan + Daoyus/Senkkaus + Philippines, Oil-Gas fields.

* SAME > US-ROK JOINT DRILLS PREMISED ON "COLLAPSE OF NORTH KOREA" THEORY.

* SAME > RUSSIAN SCHOLARS PROPOSE SINO-US "STRATEGIC EXCHANGE" IN NE ASIA IN SUPPORT OF FORMAL KOREAN-REUNIFICATION + NON-NUCLEAR NORTH KOREA: CHINA TO CHANGE ITS TRADITIONAL HARDLINE APPROACH ON NON-FOREIGN INTERFERENCE IN NORTH KOREA + KOREAN PENINSULA AFFAIRS IN RETURN FOR US ASSISTANCE ON FINAL OR PERMANENT MAINLAND RE-UNIFICATION WID TAIWAN. ALTERNATIVE IS CHINESE TAKEOVER OF NORTH KOREA WHICH IS UNACCEPTABLE TO RUSSIA, VERSUS US TAKEOVER OF TAIWAN WHICH IS UNACCEPTABLE TO CHINA.

But-t-t, neither the DPRK nor ROK [South Korea] desire any Chinese takeover of North Korea.

IIUC, IOW SHORT OF MAJOR + CONCLUSIVE[US-China]REGIONAL WAR IN NE ASIA LITTLE OR NOTHING IS LIKELY TO CHANGE FOR THE TWO KOREAS, ESPEC STARVING NORTH KOREA.

#2 OOOPSIES, forgot SAME > TO PREVENT MIDDLE-EAST STYLE CIVIL WAR IN NORTH KOREA, KIM REGIME IN PYONGYANG ORDERS THE SECURE MASS COLLECTION, STORAGE OF WEAPONS + AMMUNITION FROM MANY DPRK FIELD ARMY UNITS. DPRK COMMANDERS, SOLDIERS WHOM REFUSE TO TURNOVER MIL WARES THREATENED WID ARREST, IMPRISONMENT OR DEATH.

IMO looks like Kimmie knows truble is coming, + IMO again not necessarily because of the on-going "Jasmine" chaos only in the ME.
