It seems that they are close to firing what they will call a "test" missile. Depends whether it is "over" japan or not, and if Japan reacts by shooting it down. It will be seen as an act of aggression by Japan, because no matter how high it flies, it could malfunction and crash on the Japanese mainland.

did you notice that "soliders" from l-r 1 and 4 have weapons. 2 and 3 do not. so much for armed patrolling. Soldiers 1 and 3 have the same shoes(heels) also 2 and 4 have the same heels. seems a joke to me In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face. Diogenes Of Sinope |

I'm afraid it won't be that simple Mark.... ...it goes nuclear & I don't think China will sit back as they are at the moment. |

I'm afraid it won't be that simple Mark.... Don't get me wrong. I don't want this. No way, no how. No matter what, if it goes nuclear, the rest of the world and those near have a world of hurt we do not want nor need. To paraphrase the Kennedy bit.......I prefer the single bullet theory. I know our Seals could get even into NK and hit the idiot. Why the rest of the world is waiting to see if he ignites WWIII astounds me.\\ Japan won't let even a test missile go over their territory either. And don't get me wrong again for even a single moment. If he swings his d==k just a moment higher, he is gonna get it cut off and stuffed in his mouth quicker that you can say sh=t.

I'm probably going to get blasted for this in one way or another but...... I think we've gone as far as we can as individual nations. Its time for nationhood to end. We're all living on this single planet & its time we all worked together to pool resources to move onwards & upwards. Population too heavy? Then work hard on technology & the sciences, get back into space in a big way & start colonising..... ...before its all too late.... ...FOR EVERYONE! |

I'm probably going to get blasted for this in one way or another but...... OH wow, Sirius. I have been into the pacifist bit for far longer than you have, I think. Going back to my childhood Dylan, Baez, Pete Seeger, and PPM years. Don't act like you are the first planet child on the earth now. You want I should post some old songs about it?.....I probably got 'em all bookmarked. It won't be quite like The big muddy if we get involved in this one. Jeeeeeesuz.

I've already told others, but I'll repeat it again..... NEVER,EVER TAKE A BOOK BY ITS COVER I am not a pacifist & never will be. you're a Kennedy fan & there is nothing wrong with that, but what was his most famous quote? Its time for that quote to go international don't you think? |

I've already told others, but I'll repeat it again..... His most famous quote was about going to the moon, not going to war. At least, that is my recollection. What other quote are YOU referring to? "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

"Ask not what my country can do for me, but what you can do for your country" Given......a wonderful quote. But, as I have espoused for many years....... This is the speech that got him assassinated by LBJ and others who's powers he jeapordized by his candor and his ongoing announcement to search out and reveal the secret society that sucked life from our casual lives at our own peril. He spoke these words that spooked the spooks. So much so, that they felt they could not stand to have him remain in power. He was going to reveal or unhinge those that felt they were above the law and above all other men. And so, he was taken care of by other means than legal ones.\\ "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

Exactly! Which is the reason why nationhood as we currently know it is dead! Nationhood is not dead, my friend, as long as you and I can hold discourse about it or the lack of it. Sadly, if our current president has his way, our days may be numbered. I suspect, being one so boldly opposed, I might be soon to fall. To quote Kennedy...... "an error does not become a mistake, unless we refuse to correct it." If I shall cease to post one day, you might start to ask those in power who, how, and why. I shall not ever do so without properly notifying you. Be so warned and alarmed. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

nationalism leads down an ugly road. my country is better no mine is who gives a flip we live on one planet and its pretty clear from the international trade going on that we want to get along. Enforcement of international law and safety practices in manufacturing and crop production must take center stage if we are to live in a safe toxin free environment. Oh and to those that think NK is mobilizing its troops... think again. they are playing with their toys. Troops are sitting in their bases.

I'm not worried about it...nothing I-as one person-can do about it. Just continue on with life as planned. |

I'm not worried about it...nothing I-as one person-can do about it. No need to throw insults..really. I truly hope this won't happen. It could be a catastrophic error on NK's side. I am reading everything I get my hands on about this but I'm not going to alter my life over something that you and I--as individuals--really have no control over. |

Pentagon: North Korea has capacity to make nuclear warhead for ballistic missile North Korea has the capacity to make a nuclear warhead small enough to fit on a ballistic missile, according to a new assessment by the Pentagon’s intelligence arm that comes amid growing alarm over Pyongyang’s warmongering. President Obama called on North Korea on Thursday to end its belligerence after months of escalating rhetoric and actions related to its nuclear program. Obama also pledged that “the United States will take all necessary steps to protect its people and to meet our obligations under our alliances in the region.†The United States has defense treaties with South Korea and Japan.
