North Korea gettin' all Gangnam up in this bitch.

Anyway, whats started N.Korea getting their knickers in a twist? Has Team America just been released there or something?

 

In all seriousness, it's the bit in bold in the rather decent article below from the Japanese press.

 

I think both the US and China see it as an opportunity for regime change, which is why they are pushing back hard.

 

Both sides are playing with fire though, and the main worry in my opinion is that some minor incident will lead to an escalation which gets out of control.

 

ANALYSIS: North Korea’s bellicose rhetoric only tells part of story

April 05, 2013, By YOSHIHIRO MAKINO / Correspondent

 

Despite its escalating threats to attack the United States with nuclear weapons, North Korea appears to be shy of gearing up for an outright confrontation, according to well-placed sources.

 

North Korea warned on April 4 that the United States will face an attack involving its "cutting-edge smaller, lighter and diversified nuclear" weapons.

 

"Anger in the (North) Korean military and people cannot be held back any more," a spokesman for the General Staff of the Korean People’s Army was quoted by state media as saying.

 

But the belligerent behavior belies the actual state of readiness in the reclusive nation.

 

North Korea broadcast an air raid alert across the country via state-run radio on March 21, but no citizens evacuated.

 

The Korean People's Army, with a regular force of 1.19 million, has not called up any of the 7.7 million soldiers in the reserves.

 

Japanese, U.S. and South Korean government sources said North Korea is not anywhere near ready for all-out war, citing past crises on the Korean Peninsula.

 

Cho Myung-chul, a defector from North Korea and a member of the South Korean National Assembly, said tensions in North Korea hit their highest point when two U.S. officers were slain by North Korean soldiers in Panmunjom in August 1976.

 

North Korea closed university campuses to enlist students at the time.

 

But it has not resorted to such measures in recent weeks.

 

Pyongyang also ordered foreign expatriates to be deported during the Team Spirit U.S.-South Korean military exercise in 1993, according to a source close to North Korea.

 

The Korean People's Army has been conducting large-scale exercises on the front line, but no major changes have been observed.

 

Japan, the United States and South Korea believe that North Korea is unlikely to take the risk of its military action triggering a retaliatory strike.

 

Government sources from the three countries believe that North Korea is ratcheting up provocations because Kim Jong Un, its young leader, has yet to solidify his grip on power.

 

Kim took over after his father, Kim Jong Il, died in December 2011 and has since taken on top posts, including first secretary of the ruling Workers' Party of Korea and first chairman of the National Defense Commission.

 

But some senior members of the Workers' Party of Korea and the National Defense Commission have been recently replaced, suggesting simmering discord within the leadership.

 

"North Korea is trying to inflame tensions to a maximum extent to direct the dissatisfaction of the military and public toward outside the country," a source said.

 

But Japan, the United States and South Korea have brushed aside North Korea's saber-rattling, leaving Kim Jong Un with nothing to boast of as "concessions" from the three countries.

 

Korean People's Army members posted on the front line have been forced to stay in trenches, instead of barracks, since the country staged a third nuclear test on Feb. 12.

 

Some members have complained about being kept on high alert for an extended period, according to sources.

 

The North Korean leadership appears to be trying to underscore the threat of new ballistic missiles and a small, powerful nuclear device called a fusion-boosted fission bomb.

 

North Korea has started moving what is believed to be either the long-range KN-08 missile or the medium-range Musudan missile to the Sea of Japan coast.

 

The KN-08 has a range of between 6,000 and 10,000 kilometers, while the Musudan has a range of more than 3,000 kilometers. But little is known because neither has ever been test-fired.

 

At a National Assembly session on April 4, Kim Kwan-jin, South Korea's minister of national defense, suggested it was likely that the Musudan was being transported.

 

North Korea may have detonated a fusion-boosted fission bomb in its nuclear test in February.

 

Japan, the United States and South Korea believe that North Korea had the bomb in mind when it referred to "cutting-edge smaller, lighter nuclear strike means" on April 4.

 

"(North Korea) is trying to heighten fears in Japan, the United States and South Korea," a military source said. "It will maximize threats by drawing on both what they have and what they do not."

And WW2 and the Afghan/Iraq war started how?

 

Anyway, I think it's all posturing from Korea & they'll plop their kegs soon enough and back down.

Well the Afghan was Because the Americans needed to get into Afghanastan in order to lay a gas pipeline that went through the country.

Iraq was to get control of the oilfields there.

Or the offical line was to Stamp out Terrorism known as the war of terror.

Absolutely, so they hatched a plan to massacre thousands of their own people in a 'false flag' incident in order to garner worldwide support enabling them to invade a foreign nation on the pretence of hunting down a terrorist leader who had declared holy war upon America and overthrowing the Taliban leadership who harboured and protected him because they wanted to protect their interests in the world's oil. Sorry, gas.

Can you show me where I say anything about 9/11?

The only reason I mention about the war on terror is that is what they went into them countries under the concept of.

I never said anything about false flag and if youur thinking they went into Afghan and Iraq on the search for the terrorists then considering the information they said they found as in the picture ids.

They were all saudi apart from a couple.

They didnt go into Saudi even though there evidence showed it to be a far far bigger terrorist nation than the others.

The point you say about the taliban harbouring Bin Laden is true but it wasnt Bin Laden who done it.

The taliban told them that they will willingly hand them Bin Laden without any fuss as long as they were shown proof it was him.

They said it more than once and it was that easy for them to be handed Bin laden on a plate and no war or loss of lives needed.

Thing is though they couldnt do that as they had no proof.

So why go into Afghanistan ?

Sort of a fair point and something I thought might be brought up. I'm kind of hoping the human race is beginning to learn that following a mentalist is a bad idea. So yes it was a mentalist but too many people were listening, doesn't seem to be the case this time.

He needs taking out for what is going on in them camps alone.

There is something not quiet right about what where being told though.

If he is under Chinas wing then a quick slap around the head and put him in his place would happen.

If he was also this lunatic that we keep hearing and one with nuclear weapons as were being told,China would of took him out staright away and not just be sitting back doing nothing as what to stop him nuking them.

China would not of allowed a nuclear armed lunatic at there front door not a chance.

So one of them statements is bollocks he is either a lunatic with no nuclear weapons or he isnt a luatic but might have nukes or does have them.

With how it looks if any of it is true then at most he is loony and thats why china arnt arsed about him being taken out.

Its going to kick off big style very soon.

 

The yanks and to an extent the uk have been poking their nose in all over the middle east for the last few years trying to be world police.

 

Something like this situation in North Korea might just start it off, but i have a feeling before the end of this decade, we might have WW3

You could be right mate it wouldnt take to much to spark something that escalates into one.

Doubt it will NK though as its fate has probably already been decide between America ad China.Lets be honest as it is now and nearly always been it serves no use to anybody.Its a case of nothing at all will become of what happening now or more likely because of the build up of items America have to go in there points at loonballs being taken out and Korea unifying as one country again,or as a sign of unity and peace etc America hands it to china.

Most likely the first option and I would guess there would be agreements not to put bases there etc.

The other option is America and China have secretly joined forces to take over the world,that would be a blindersider but it wont happen.

The middle East problem as you say could well be about policing it and it appears along them lines.

It s only when you look back at how we ended up in Lybia to take G out and Iraq because of involvement in 9/11 and terrorisim.Well thats fair enough apart from the fact with Iraq and there was no linking them to 9/11 just like about Bin Laden being not a shred of evidence as ever been produced to 9/11 either.Everything again linked to the Saudis and thats where the money comes from for most of the stuff anyway.

With Lybia there wasnt a problem everything was hunky Dory to the point Blair going out to see G and trade had reopend.We all know he was eccentric and how he was killing people inside the country,but as in anything up to now nothing has been put as Human Rights issues.

All of a sudden we had this wmd thing comeout even though we had inspectors over this issue saying there is none,were told there is and in we go.G had none and even if got one he wasnt that much of a loon to use one.

As for policing then it was him keeping all the fanatics from diffrent areas under control.

Everything that has happend under this fight on terrorisim so far has been bullshit reasons for the actions taken.Thats not just me being some sort of conspirtist nut.Not one shred of proof has ever been produced backing then up.Iraq Bin Laden and Afghanistan and Lybia have happend based on bollocks all.If it was to do with policing then it would be getting told as human Rights issues why whats happend has happend.So why all this bullshit to go into them countries there got to be a reason and one there prepared to go to such lengths to cover from us.

The ww3 scenario could well be with the middle east as it looks mostly place for it to start if it happend.
