#2 "Medium-range missles ... striking US Bases in South Korea + Japan" > well technically, thats good for China + PLA since TAIWAN is likely their REAL/PRIMARY OBJECTIVE anyway.

China already has HAINAN + is firmly entrenching in its new "Sansha/Sasha" offshore province fka the SCS - IT IS DOING SO BECAUSE NEITHER THE PHIL + VIETNAM, ETC CLAIMANTS CAN MILPOL EFFEC STOP CHINA FROM DOING SO.

FYI several USN ships includ the Guam-based sub tender USS FRANK CABLE have repor arrived in the PHIL, + will remain for MWR + "routine maintenance". Personally, I interprete this to mean the US Govt-DOD is covertly well-aware of the true nature behind the DPRK's recent threats.

#4 YAHOO NEWS > THE US ARMY IS PLANNING FOR FAILED NUCLEAR STATE IN NORTH KOREA, as due to untimely collapse of Kim jong-un + Regime.

* BHSARAT RAKSHAK > XI-PUTIN SUMMIT, CHINA-RUSSIAN STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP, + THE FAILURE OF OBAMA'S "ASIAN PIVOT".

* TOPIX > US + CHINA "PIVOTS" COLLIDE IN PACIFIC.

Perhaps more succintly, they "chase" one another like a Tiger-vs-Eagle about to engage in combat.

* SAME > [Washington Times] PLA NAVY AMPHIBIOUS FORCE REACHES JAMES SHOAL OFF MALAYSIA, i.e. the southernmost part of Chinese or Chinese-claimed territory.

Again, China is firmly entrenching in the SCS because the PHIL + Vietnam, etc ASEAN can not unilaterally or milpol stop it from doing so.

* BIG NEWS NETWORK > [Japan Times] REASONS WHY CHINA WON'T CRUSH PYONGYANG/NORTH KOREA.

VERSUS

* WORLD NEWS > US DEFENSE COMMITMENT TO ASIA REMAINS UNAFFECTED BY SEQUESTRATION.

Hopefully is true, but remains to be seen as per alleged Marxist-Anarchist, Marxist-Globalist, etc. POTUS Bammer Admin + anti-US? OWG, Global Fed Union(s), + "Globalism" starting in 2015 or ASAP afterward.

E.G. GIVEN ...

* WORLD NEWS > FITCH: SEQUESTRATION MAY AFFECT US DEFENSE RATINGS.

#7 JAPAN DAILY PRESS > CHINA CONDUCTS LIVE-FIRE AMPHIBIOUS ASSAULT WAR GAMES ON A TARGET WID THE FICTIONAL NAME "D-ISLAND".

* CHINESE DEFENSE > "JANE'S DEFENSE" CLAIMS CHINA'S DF-21A, JL-1A, DF-25 [ + SY-400 SRBMS] HAVE EMP WARHEAD CAPABILITY.

IIUC, IOW "confuse" + slow down a US Navy CV by first knocking out = "frying its internal electronics + communications systems vee local EMP burst(s), then kill it once-n-forevar! wid barrages of DF-21 ASBMS + LR ALCMS, SLCMS, + related TLCMS???

VERSUS

* WORLD MILITARY FORUM . KCNA: NORTH KOREA NO LONGER HAS ANY NEED FOR DIALOGUE WID THE US EXCEPT THROUGH THE "BARREL OF A GUN" [War = military force].

* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > TAIWAN SHOULD CONSIDER CHANGE IN STATUS.

Taiwan = new "Switzerland/Belgium", i.e. all-Neutral all the time??? FTZ Area???

OTOH as per the disputed Senkakus/Diaoyus, MAINLAND CHINA = BEIJING DESIRES "SOLE" SOVEREIGN CONTROL OF TAIWAN, NOT "SHARED" CONTROL OR OTHER.

Lastly, methinks Taiwan + US know that Taiwan is indirectly a real/primary target for China + PLA once any Sino-japanese shooting war starts over the disputed Senkakus/Diaoyus.

#8 More ...

* TOPIX > [Stars-N-Stripes] CHINA AGENCIES PRESS TERRITORIAL CLAIMS IN ASIAN WATERS.

China's very latest PLAN-led "gunboat diplomacy" is conducting an amphibious exercise in waters that are repor also claimed by MALAYSIA.

* Also from TOPIX > NORTH KOREA WARNS UN OF IMMIMENT NUCLEAR WAR DUE TO FOREIGN PROVOCATIONS.

"Simmering" NucWar.

* RELATED SAME > NORTH KOREA CUTS LAST MILITARY HOTLINE TO SOUTH, WARNING OF "IMMINENT NUCLEAR WAR" AS REASON.

* RELATED SAME > [CBS News] VIDEO: NORTH KOREA: WAR COULD START "AT ANY MOMENT".

* RELATED SAME > NORTH KOREA: CONDITIONS FOR NUCLEAR WAR EXIST.

* YONHAP NEWS > NORTH KOREA WARNS PREEMPTIVE NUCLEAR ATTACK PART OF ITS OPTIONS.

By most accounts, MSM-NET > North Korea has the missle + air capability to strike the ROK + Japan, but NOT Guam + Hawaii - ONLY CHINA CAN DO SO.

The key for China + PLA 2nd Arty is where the sequestration-hid USDOD has parked the bulk of its CVNS, FBM Subs, + USAF strategic bombers. IFF CHINA FEARS THE CONSEQUENCES OF ANY LIMITED OR FULL-SCALE NUCWAR AGZ THE US, ETAL. ON ITS ECONOMY, THEN IT MAY CHOOSE TO USE ITS NUCWEAPONS IN LOW-INTENSITY, SELECTIVE NUCSTRIKES AGZ ONLY THE MOST IMPORTANT MIL TARGETS???

Targets + Limited Nucstrikes that will damage, but NOT destroy, the US-Allies.

#9 Rising China wants Taiwan, Japan under its umbrella, neutral Russia, + Guam, + US State of Hawaii iff it can get it.

WHAT CHINA DOES NOT WANT IS A "COLD WAR", NOR A REPEAT OF THE STALEMATE OF THE FIRST KOREAN WAR 1050-1953.

E.G. DEFENCE FORUM INDIA > ONE THING CHINA + USSR DON'T HAVE IN COMMON. Soviet-style massive military overspending such that it detrimentally affected the the then-USSR's economy.

POSTER = denoted that China's present economy is already 6-8X the peak of the Cold War Soviet/USSR's economy???

FULL-SCALE US-CHINA NUCWAR = STRATEGIC NUCLEAR WAR DOTH NOT GOOD OWG "GLOBALISM", + GLOBAL = "SPACE/STAR" ECONOMY MAKETH.
