#6 SOKOR is now denying the North's new Nuke Mil State status, arguing that NOKOR is not an official signatory to the NPT.
Meanwhile, JAPAN = JMSDF on its part has deployed more AEGIS BMD-capable Destroyers to the West Sea to deal wid the strategic or LT threat from NOKOR's alleged nuclear, Missle arsenal, + IMO to also SSSSSSSHHHHHHHH counter China's own naval buildup in same.
versus
* TOPIX > WEST SEA BECOMES NEW ARENA FOR BIG POWER RIVALRY [US-China-Japan].
ARTIC = denotes that CHINA plans to expand PLAN naval operations to GUAM, SAIPAN [CNMI], + INDONESIA ARC ["Second Island Chain"] by 2020
* SAME > PANETTA: PENTAGON TO SHIFT WARSHIPS TO PACIFIC. Up to 60% of entire USN Fleet could be assigned to the Pacific by 2020.
* SAME > CANADA EYES/SEEKS SINGAPORE HUB TO SUPPORT US MILITARY'S ASIA "PIVOT" TOWARD CHINA, i.e. counter Rising China.
* INDIAN DEFENCE FORUM > PANETTA: US TO RENEW NAVAL POWER IN ASIA-PACIFIC [ + stay vigilant agz Rising China].
* SAME > TIMES OF INDIA: [new]US SEVENTH FLEET BASE IN BANGLADESH? | EXCLSUIVE: AMERICA EYES BANGLADESH [Chittagong].
* DEFENCE FORUM INDIA > PANETTA: US WILL LEAN ON TECHNOLOGY [+ State-vs-State Regional Partnerships] FOR ASIA-PACIFIC PIVOT COUNTER.
> US to raise troop levels in Asia-Pacific above current 330,0000.
> Pacific needs to be a RULES-BASED REGION AS RELIANT ON THE RULES OF INTERNATIONAL ORDER.
* SAME > BANGLADESH: AMERICA'S NEW STRATEGIC CYNOSURE IN SOUTH ASIA.
* SAME > HILLARY IN DHAKA: WHY? + WHY NOW?
versus
* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > GWADAR PORT STALEMATE:IS CHINA'S "STRING OF PEARLS" STRATEGY A FAILURE?
* TOPIX, CHINA DAILY FORUM > BIDEN VOWS TO CONFRONT RISING POWER OF CHINA | BIDEN: WAHSINGTON NOW HAS NEW STRATEGY TO COUNTER [defeat] CHINA'S RISE.
* RIAN.RU > RUSSIA TO REOPEN ARCTIC AIRBASES.
* SAME > RUSSIA TO BUILD UP SUBMARINE TASK FORCE ALONG NORTHERN SEA ROUTE.
* SAME > PUTIN ORDERS NAVAL DEVELOPMENT [+ more MilWeaps] IN ARCTIC, FAR EAST.
And once again again, Virgina, we relearn why Russia's formal annexation of the Japanese Kuriles is actually aimed more at China + [strategic Pacific access] than dissing Nippon.
