#1 IMO the DPRK-ROK talks won't succeed unless China sees good or strong signs that the US will reduce or eliminate its mil presence in the Near-Term as per South Korea + Japan. IFF THE US DOES NOT, THEN EXPECT THE NORTH TO INITIATE NEW + WORSE PDENIABLE MIL INCIDENTS THAN "CHEONAN" + "YEONGPYEONG", IFF NOT OUTRIGHT MIL STRIKES AGZ US-ROK TARGETS.

Again, THE DPRK = NORTH KOREA WANTS TO STOP STARVING, WHIEL RISING CHINA WANTS SOLE BASE RIGHTS VEE THE "FIRST ISLAND CHAIN". In the absence of clear US Milfors withdrawal from East Asia region, IMO CHIna is unlikely to accept more than TOKEN = LIMITED NORTH-SOUTH ECON COOPERATION/INTEGRATION - THE TWO KOREAS CAN FORGET ABOUT RE-UNIFICATION. THE DPRK WILL GO ON STARVING.

* ION TOPIX > RUSSIA AKSKS JAPAN TO INVESTIGATE FLAG-INSULT [burning] CASE IN TOKYO.

* SAME > AIDE: RUSSIAN FEDERATION [RF] SOVEREIGNTY OVER KURILE ISLANDS CANNOT BE SUBJECT TO REVISION [Russ Review-N-Revise].

* SAME > [Itar-Tass] JAPANESE RALLY FOR RETURN OF DISPUTED NEW TERRITORIES, URGE VISA_FREE EXCHANGES.

* SAME > [Pravda] JAPAN CLAIMS TO RUSSIAN ISLANDS EVOLVE INTO BLIND RAGE.

* CHINESE MILITARY FORUM > AUSTRALIA: WE WANT A LARGER SUBMARINE FORCE THAN CHINA HAS | NEED OR NOT, WE NEED MORE PRE-FAB SUBS [Foreign-built, as its too $$$ costly for Australia at this time to build its own].

Aussies believe Rising China's ambition + Mil Planning is akin to WW2 JAPAN'S BEFORE IT ATTACKED THE US BASE AT PEARL HARBOR in DEC 1941, + that China hence intends to ultimately expand its STRATEGIC MIL REACH TO NEAR AUSTRALIA + SOPAC/SOUPAC LITTORAL REGIONS.

Again, IMO CHINA GAINED NOTHING SAVE MORE HEADACHES VIA RUSSIA'S DECLARATION OF PERMANENT SOVEREIGNTY OER FORMER JAPANESE = SOUTH KURILES, + that China will closely watch the outcome of US-JAPAN TALKS OER THE RELOCATION OF US MARINES TO GUAM FROM OKINAWA, + of course as per Taiwan.

IFF NORTH KOREA + CHIINA both don't get what they want, WATCH OUT!

Hey Joe, Japanese were pissed off about Medvedev's recent visit to the Kurils.

#4 This how the NKs negotiate: deny everything and blame the SKs and US. Its a non-starter folks.

I thought we reduced U.S. troops in South Korea by 11,000 and pulled the remainder south of Seoul to that island?

#6 PEOPLE'S DAILY FORUM/TOPIX > VARIOUS > TALKS BETWEEN TWO KOREAS HAVE "COLLAPSED" + NORTH KOREA WALKS OUT ON TALKS WID SOUTH.

Collapsed oer specific details, e.e ROK wanted to talk about the two Mil Incidents, "Cheonan" + "Yeongpyeong", while the DPRK repor did NOT.

* Also from TOPIX > NORTH KOREA PROPOSES PARLIAMENTARY TALKS WID SOUTH.

* SAME > SOURCES: NORTH KOREA ASKS US TO RESTORE FOOD AID, as suspended since March 2009; + SOURCES: PYONGYANG BEGS FOR FOOD AROUND THE WORLD.

ARTIC = denotes that its become EASIER TO COUNT OF NUMBER OF INTERNAT COUNTRIES WHOM HAVE NOT RECEIVED FORMAL NORTH KOREA REQUESTS FOR FOOD AID, THAN THE CONTRARY.
