#1 What national technical means is Japan using to acquire this information?

#2 Just saw this on Fox News. Don't know what means was used by Japan but the high-res satellite photo showed vehicles. The narrative said that vehicles had been removed and activity had stopped. I think we can expect a boom soon. Or not.

#3 Nightmare unfolding... North Korea and Iran both announce on the same day that they have the bomb!

How hard would it be for North Korea to get a Nuclear Weapon to Iran? I don't know the answer to that... maybe really hard... maybe not.

Either way... we know which direction the missles will be pointing

#4 Japan has built and launched at least three high-resolution imaging satellites, and may have launched more. Their primary duties are to monitor North Korea and China, as well as eastern Russia. I'm pretty sure that Japan also has electronic intercept capabilities as good as those used by the United States. I can only guess at what else they might have, but I'm sure they are quite up-to-date on what's going on in NORK. I'd certainly listen to whatever they say about that area. Old Spook and Fred can possibly add to what I know (or at least, what I THINK I know...).
