#1 ION DEFENCE WEB > {Reuters] JAPAN:POSSIBLE NORTH KOREA MAY HAVE ADVANCED NUCLEAR ARMS.

* YONHAP EDITORIAL > [ROK should..]FORTIFY YELLOW SEA ISLANDS AS PERFECT STRATEGIC FORTRESS.

------------

WIKILEAKS DOCS = CHIN-LED "FINLANDIZATION" OR NORTH = "UNIFIED KOREA" [West German Model]; VERSUS NEW SOUTH KOREAN ADMIN WHOM FAVORS CLOSER MIL TIES WID US [+ JAPAN], but whom also believes SOUTH KOREA SHOULD REPLACE JAPAN AS THE US' PRIMARY MILPOL ALLY IN NOTHEAST ASIA???

* NEWS KERALA/TOPIX > RUSSIAN PRESIDENT WARNS OF NEW ARMS RACE [may occur widn next 10 years iff NATO-RUSS COOPER ON MISSLE DEFENSE FAILS].

IMO also read, US-RUSSIA "NEW START" FAILURE.

IOW, there goes a'flyin away CHINA'S EEZ-SEZ in the Yellow Sea = West Sea.

* XINHUA > [MILF] PHILIPPINE MUSLIM REBELS WARN OF RESURGENCE OF ARMED CONFLICT IN MINDANAO, unless Malaysia-led International Monitorng Teams [IMTS] are renewed upon expiration of duty.

* BHARAT RAKSHAK POSTER > believes CHINA + PLA, PLAN will need 10-YEARS-OR-MORE to enter + conduct effec routine operations in the INDIAN OCEAN = SOUTH CHINA SEAS.

#2 CHINESE MIL FORUM > {YouTube] CHINA SET TO BAN BLACKS + MONGOLIANS [+ Muslims]???

* PAKISTANI DEFENCE FORUM > [China's Ally]PAKISTAN IS NOW A WATER-STRESSED COUNTRY.

"Water-stress" = future FOOD, OTHER ECON STRESS.

STARVING NOKORS ON THE ONE, + FUTURE STARVING PAKIS ON THE OTHER???

#3 Joe - Surrounded by starving in Burma, Korea and Pakiwakiland should be a good start on a no-mans-land buffer.

ARTIC = Source claimed that KIM JONG-UN also ORDERED DPRK ARMY LAST MONTH TO PREPARE TO FIGHT BACK IFF THERE ARE NEW [US-ROK]"PROVOCATIONS".

IOW, IIUC DPRK ARMY TO PREPARE FOR ESCALATION + ULTIMATELY ALL-OUT WAR IFF SOUTH KOREA MIL RESPONDS TO "CHEONAN", ETC. INCIDENTS.

KIM JONG-UN "MAKING HIS BONES" to impress Big Daddy + Army, Regime???

VERSIES

* PAKISTANI DEFENCE FORUM > {Telegraph.UK] US-ROK WAR GAMES MAY BE OVER BUT NORTH KOREA STILL HASN'T BLINKED, US RUNNING OUT OF OPTIONS.

ARTIC = US-CHINA desired "AID FOR NUKES" vee DPRK is failing to stop DPRK's NucProgs, which in turn is demonstrating the validity of CHINA'S POSITION ON HOW TO HANDLE THE DPRK AS SUPERIOR TO THAT OF THE US-ALLIES???

and

* FREEREPUBLIC > REPORT: NORTH KOREA MAY STRIKE SOUTH AGAIN IN 2010. ROK Targets in Gyeonggi Province, ROK Navy ships in Yellow Sea, etc.

* THE HINDU > [South Korean]ENVOY: SOUTH KOREA [+ Japan] RELIES ON US NUCLEAR UMBRELLA, for both EFFEC DETERRENCE + MIL COUNTERRESPONSE despite SOKOR not having any US nukes based on its soil.
