#1 The link is borked.

But I have been reading about it elsewhere. Here's the thing. We have been sitting there in South Korea for 50 years. We have these exercises at least twice a year. How incompetent do the NorKs think we are that we have to "rehearse" an invasion 100 times and still not get it right?

If we were going to invade, we would have invaded a long time ago. Who do they think they are fooling? Everyone knows they need the Army in the spring to do the planting and in the fall to do the harvest.

#2 WORLD MIL FORUM [GOOGLE Chinglish translation]> IIUC THINK TANK: USA MUST TAKE A CLEAR STAND ON ISSUE OF SOVEREIGNTY ON DISPUTED SOUTH CHINA SEA ISLANDS.

E.g. PHILIPPINES - China's 8 territorial claims comprising large maritime areas around the Philippines, etc. is INHERENTLY "UNTENABLE".


* Also on WMF > ON-GOING EASTWARD STRATEGIC SHIFT OF US MILITARY FORCES IN JAPAN [+ ASIA-PACIFIC] TO INTERVENE IN THE TAIWAN STRAITS. US desires to setup joint services' TASK FORCE COMMAND, US FORCES JAPAN - despite the anticipated US MARINE reloc to Guam from Okinawa, 3RD US MARDIV HQ structure + bulk of USMC Combat units/troops to remain in JAPAN as part of the former new TFCOM.

#4 This is the test Biden was talking about. Barry will likely begin a South Korean troop pull out very soon.

#5 When I was stationed in Korea (88) it was repeated many time to me that our mission was to prevent South Korean from invading the North. Not sure the current generation would have the fortitude but the previous one remembered the war and wanted revenge.

#6 I put the Fox link in. This, of course, constitutes no opinion on the veracity of Press TV Iran...
