| #2 More ... * TOPIX > [SCMP] US CAN INTERCEPT NORTH KOREAN MISSLE, BUT MAY OPT NOT TO. WTF??? My Bad Vibe meter just went up - again. ADM. LOCKLEAR = stated or denoted that the DPRK's LRBMS as known are a threat to GUAM, BUT NOT HAWAII OR CONUS. Just because Hawaii is a de facto US State, NOT a Territory like Guam, etal. is a reason that US Citizens-Residents on Guam are more expendable than those in Hawaii + CONUS??? Just because DPRK's missle is mostly untested + more likely to blow-up on the launch pad as land in the WESTPAC Sea somewhere between the Koreas + Guam is a reason to NOT shot it down iff fired at Guam??? I can understand PACOM Chief ADM. Locklear's desire to be PCorrect + not say anything that may worsen the situation, BUT THERE ARE TIMES WHEN ONE HAS TO PUT THEIR FOOT DOWN + NOT CARE IFF THE ENEMY'S FEELINGS GET HURT. ALL THINGS HAVE THEIR PLACE - THERES A TIME FOR PCORRECTNESS + A TIME FOR GUMPTION, + THIS IS NO TIME FOR CORRECTNESS. China gets to say times overtly that they wanna take over from the US while the US has to delude itself + pretend China is foolin'??? HOW IS DIFFERENT THAN THE US-WEST = JUDEOCHRISTIANS HAVING TO VALIDATE HARDLINE SHARIA + ISLAM FOR THE MUSLIMS BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO HURT THEIR FEELINGS??? THE WARNING FROM MY ANCESTORS = GUAM TAOTAMONAS DECADES AGO IN THE 1960S + 1970'S, I.E. THAT AS THE US PULLS BACK ACROSS THE PACIFIC IT MAY DESTROY = SINK GUAM + OTHER STRATEGIC ISLANDS WID UNDERGROUND/BURIED NUCWEAPS OR NUCBOMBS TO DENY USAGE TO ENEMIES, MAY YET PROVE TRUE. Vietnam war + Cold War-era "stategic denial" = "A2/Area-Denial" [Anti-Access/Area-Denial] in 2013 + post-Cold war, post-9-11 era of GWCC + OWG-NWO. WELCOME TO "GLOBALISM". Personally I blame MADONNA + JAMES-BOND-007-VS-NORTH-KOREA. * ION TOPIX > JAPAN FOREIGN MINISTRY: ASIA-PACIFIC SECURITY SITUATION GETTING TOO SEVERE. * FREEREPUBLIC > [Yahoo News] IS THE US TRYING TO DE-ESCALATE A NORTH KOREAN STANDOFF? (USN Warships may not sail, Missle Tests postponed...) * Also from FREEREPUBLIC > [Jet Careers] REDUCED FLYING HOURS FORCES GROUNDING OFF 17 USAF COMBAT AIR SQUADRONS. versus * CHINA DAILY FORUM > US "REBALANCE" NOT AFFECTED BY [sequester-led] BUDGET CUTS. The proof will be the US response iff-n-when a Sino-Nippon Shooting war over the disputed Senkakus/Diaoyus in ECS breaks out, andor iff the DPRK makes good on its threats. * CHINESE MILITARY FORUM > [Itar-Tass = KBS.co.kor] KIM JONG-UN WANTS PHONE CALL FROM OBAMA - REPORT, to discuss tensions on the Korean Peninsula as per the curren Crisis. |

| #1 NOKOR's current ability to deter or forestall a de facto Chinese takeover for ANY REASON may be much weaker or precarious than the US-West/Allies think - NOKOR MAY NOT BE ABLE ANYMORE TO WAIT MANY YEARS OR DECADES. Moreover, it is happening at a time when overlord mainland China = CPC, PRC is more interested in FORCIBLY resolving the issue of strategic access for the PLA into WESTPAC + SOPAC vee the "First Island Chain" than continue wid ineffective Regional Diplomacy. IOW ... > NOKOR = wants Reunification wid SOKOR N-O-W, NOT YEARS OR DECADES FROM NOW. > Ditto "MAHANIST" MAINLAND CHINA = wants TAIWAN N-O-W! Beijing wants to see concrete, substantive steps towards formal PRC-ROC Reunification, NOT LONGER ANYMORE BENIGN OR MINOR SUJECTIVE STEPS. CHINA SEES MAJOR US MILBASES NEAR CHINA'S SHORES -IT DOES NOT SEE ANY MAJOR CHINESE MILBASES NEAR CONUS' SHORES, NOR EVEN IN MID-PACIFIC/CENTPAC. > CHINA SEES US ALLIES, I.E. ASEAN = "FIRST ISLAND CHAIN", + ESPEC HISTORIC RIVAL JAPAN DESIRING TO HAVE NUCWEAPS, + SETTING UP GMD-TMD WID THE US. > VIETNAM HAD INVITED MANY MAJOR POWERS INCLUD VIETNAM WAR NEMESIS US TO SET UP AT CAM RANH BAY + OTHER - VIETNAM, HOWEVER, DID NOT INVITE VIETNAM WAR ALLY CHINA. The above is the difference from several years ago for both the DPRK + Mainland China. Lest we fergit, MSM-NET > PRC Govt-Military Officials have called on Beijing to change its historical "soft power/diplomacy" approach to one that is more MilPol or Geopol "aggressive". |
