#1 See TOPIX > [Lucianne = Commentary Magazine] IS US FOLDING ON NORTH KOREA?

US SecState Kerry's statements, although appearing to be quite reasonable on the surface, IS MORE LIKELY TO BE INTERPRETED AS DE FACTO US
"WEAKNESS" BY NOKOR, IRAN, + LIKE, + TREATED OR HANDLED BY THEM AS SUCH.

versus

* SAME > [Japan Herald] NATO CHIEF WARNS OF COLLECTIVE DEFENSE IFF NORTH KOREA ATTACKS THE US.

NATO's got the Bammer's six.

* SAME > NORTH KOREA SAYS IT WON'T WARN SOUTH ON ATTACK.

* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > [Chosun Ilbo = Xinhua] MAOS'S GRANDSON [Mao Xingu] CALLS ON NORTH KOREA TO ABANDON NUKES.

IIUC, iff the DPRK disses Mao Xingu it will be interpreted by China as serious disrespect of Mao Zedong/Tse-Tung's = China's military intervention [ + lives lost, maimed]on behalf of the DPRK back in November 1950 agz MacArthur's Boyz. HILARITY BETWEEN CHINA + NORTH KOREA MAY NOT ENSUE.

Personally, I'm interpreting this as potens worsening relations between Pudgy + Beijing, + increasingly the risk of Chinese + PLA takeover of the North. AGAIN, CHINA STANDS TO TAKEOVER THE DPRK DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY REGARDLESS OF TYPE/KIND OF COLLAPSE SCENARIO, + GIVEN ITS PRESENT STANDOFF VEE JAPAN OER THE DISPUTED SENKAKUS/DIAOYUS WOULD ONLY SERVE TO PLACE THE PLA THAT MUCH CLOSER TO JAPAN = US MILBASES ON OKINAWA, + TAIWAN + NORTHERN PHIL.

["RETURN OF THE JEDI" BATTLE OF ENDOR = "ITS A TRAP"! here].

FYI China has once again violated Japan's 12-mile territorial limit around the disputed Senkakus/Diaoyus.

HISTOIRE' SAYS CHINA IS "PREPPING THE COMING BATTLEFIELD", + IS GETTING READY TO OPEN FIRE ON JAPAN + JSDFS AT A TIME OF ITS CHOOSING.
