Possible Xi assassination of Kim Bing Bob being blamed on the USA, with the resulting anti american riots and denunciations?
Which is different from the current 'anti american riots and denunciations'................

I don't see a downside there in the long run, millions if not billions of lives saved, US takes a little more heat.......bring it. We've proven repeatedly we have 'big shoulders'.

Not the first time, not the last time. Management needs to be sure that there is always hot coffee in the break room so the graveyard shift can see to read the labels on the tapes.

Only last summer the same thing happened here in Stockholm.
Usually they test the warning system I think three or four per year on a Monday at 3 pm.
This time it was a at 10 pm!
Press Manager at SOS Alarm, explains why the public could not get any information about the alarm heard over Stockholm at 22:00 last night. An investigation has been made and the Interior Minister Anders Ygeman (S) states that he is serious about the incident. The government now demands that the Civil Protection and Emergency Agency, MSB, investigate the procedures for alarm signals after yesterday's accident in Stockholm County.

Cuban Embargo, just started High School, scared the out of me for a week straight, every day. Not a good way to live and I apologize to anyone offended by my black humor. It's not funny, but what's the alternative. It's basically up to the actions (or continued actions) of one individual and I don't mean Trump.

After 30 years of silence it's time again. By the end of May-June, the booklet "If The War Comes" will be sent in an updated edition to the Swedish homes.
In a few months, the folder will land at 4.7 million Swedish households, reports Aftonbladet.
It was released for the first time in the early 1940s, during World War II, and featured practical tips on how to act if Sweden was to be engaged in the war.

I remember the old edition from the early 60's and many gasmasks where distributed to the public as well.
There was also evacuation plans in all phonebooks.

It is Kim which is the problem.

Kim LOVES his LollyBombs.
He cries when they are going boom.

Hawaii False Alarm Hints at Thin Line Between Mishap and Nuclear War
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/14/world/asia/hawaii-false-alarm-north-korea-nuclear.html?smid=tw-nytimes&smtyp=cur
There was a false alarm in Soviet 1983 as well.
Thankfully Stanislav Petrov followed his gut feeling instead!

Edit: While attached to NATO Intelligence in the early 70's. I became aware of a much more serious 'malfunction'. Which, because a few individuals, with their fingers on the buttons in our underground missile silos, and not in contact with each other, decided 'The Order' was not correct. And multiple land based ICBM's were not launched towards Russia.

Well, that was a good malfunction, right?

I found this to be very interesting..........not a US false but the same possible results from two of Jan's neighbors.....

25 January 1995
Main article: Norwegian rocket incident

Russian President Boris Yeltsin became the first world leader to activate a nuclear briefcase after Russian radar systems detected the launch of a Norwegian Black Brant XII research rocket being used to study the Northern Lights.[19] Russian strategic ballistic missile submarines were put on alert in preparation for a possible retaliatory strike.[20] When it became clear the rocket did not pose a threat to Russia and was not part of a larger attack, the alarm was cancelled. Russia was in fact one of a number of countries earlier informed of the launch; however, the information had not reached the Russian radar operators.
A good thing ole' Boris wasn't 'in his cups' at that particular moment.

I didn't know about that incident.
Perhaps because Svalbard is very far from both Norway and Sweden.
But scary indeed!
Well, the more nukes the more risk that similary incidents will happen again.
And sooner or later....
And with Kim with his LollyBombs...

The exact reason the US and Allies need to adopt and publish the policy that due to repeated threats by DPRK, there is a 'no launch umbrella' over the Korean Peninsula and that anything in violation will be intercepted. In addition naval resources capable of 'shoot down in boost phase' should be placed in the proximity.

I just hope that if and when push comes to shove our anti-missile missiles will do their jobs. I agree that forces capable of intercepting ICBMs need to be in as close proximity to N. Korea as possible.

Don't you have to know the target before you can shoot it down? They are not like an standard artillery or mortar shell, which follows a 'fixed' path.

It could be just a test, as with the previous launches.
