#1  ION NOKOR, FREEREPUBLIC > PRACTICE RUN:STRATEGIC US BOMBERS [B-52H]PRACTICE NUCLEAR STRIKES ON NORTH KOREA.

* RELATED WORLD NEWS > [WAPO] WID NORTH KOREA IN MIND, PENTAGON HIGHLIGHTS B-52 FLIGHTS OVER SOUTH KOREA.

* DEFENCE FORUM INDIA > [US Senator Bob Menendez]ATTACKING US WOULD BE SUICIDE, US LAWMAKER TELLS NORTH KOREA.

* WORLD MILITARY FORUM > US RETURNS TO INDIAN OCEAN REGION + CENTRAL ASIA AS FOCII OF ITS ASIA-PACIFIC STRATEGY, TO INCLUDE WEST ASIA [Afghansitan + Pakistan] + WESTERN AFRICA.

versus

* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > BBC: NORTH KOREA WARNS CITIZENS TO EVACUATE BORDER REGIONS.

IMO ostensib in case Arty, Missle exchanges begin
one day???

* WORLD MILITARY FORUM > RUSSIAN MEDIAS: "NORTH KOREA'S "TANIYAMA" M1978 LONG-RANGE ARTILLERY CANNON IS THE MAIN "BALLISTIC MISSLE" IN NORTH KOREA'S ARSENAL.

IIUC, the Russians are trying hard NOT to say that any DPRK LR nuclear missle is actually from China.

ONCE AGAIN, 'TIS CHINA-MADE + CHINA-ORDERED BUT NORTH KOREA-LAUNCHED/FIRED???

* SAME > "WE WILL FIGHT EVEN WID NO SHOES ON OUR BARE FEET": NORTH KOREA'S KCNA REPORTS THAT THE DPRK CENTRAL COMMITTE HAS WARNED THAT THE ENTIRE PENINSULA IS ON THE "BRINK/EDGE OF REAL WAR" DUE TO US-LED PROVOCATIONS [US-ROK MilEx].
WHICH HAS MOVED WELL-BEYOND NORTH KOREA'S
"RED/DANGER LINES" FOR WAR.

* GUARDIAN.UK > CHINA WARNS US OVER MISSLE DEFENSE PROGRAMME [14 new BMD Interceptors for Fort Greely, AK] AGZ NORTH KOREA.

The US = Bammer Admin is risking upsetting = antagonizing the DPRK's Kim Jong-Un.

* WAFF > [StrategyPage] CHINA HAS A PLAN FOR JAPAN, i.e. PLA + smaller Milassets to "wear out" the larger + more techy JSDF by causing them to "run around" in chase.

Indirectly is a swipe at the debt-ridden US + MLR/MLL per Nippon.

IMO the best way for the US-Allies to counter this + save the USS GEORGE WASHINGTON from DPRK = covert Chinese attack is to deploy USN FBM Subs close to the theater.

The USN may also wanna recall the newly
"retired" + "gone from inventory" TOMAHAWK TLCM for the time being.

Lots of NIMITZ-class CVNS docked "Pearl Harbor" style in homeport due to "seqestration", + no TOMAHAWKS either - the US has only the "Georgie" to defend all of East Asia from the PLA + MOtherly Commie Airborne.
