November 25, 2010 SouthAmerica: Reply to Eight In 1962 the Cuban crisis almost got out of control and started a nuclear war. We got lucky at that time..... The United States is playing with fire by provoking North Korea a country that has nothing to lose - and North Korea has the military capability to incinerated Tokyo into crispy - and light Tokyo with a mushroom cloud. Watch a video of a mushroom cloud: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3132689496881249896#docid=5521359134044840189 .
You're not kidding. Would you believe there were clowns right here on ET that thought Brazil was going to win the 2010 World Cup?
that job opening is there for you all the time... So some psycho is threatening Tokyo and you think the rest of the world is going to let him pull the trigger? You think he doesn't understand that he will have to move to the Mother of All Bunkers if he pulls the trigger? You think we are going to sit around wringing our hands in worry and anticipation with regard to what some sick son of a bitch with nukes is going to do? We have people in charge of watching crazies!!
November 26, 2010 SouthAmerica: Reply to Lucrum Talking about being delusional â comparing the brink of nuclear war in the current Korean Peninsula crisis today with âBrazil was going to win the the 2010 World Cupâ. That reveals a very deep mind that has great analytic skills. Hah, hah, hah.... .
. November 26, 2010 SouthAmerica: Reply to Eight Instead of letting the 2 Koreas cool off and settle this with diplomacy, the United States is putting more fuel into the fire by sending the American aircraft carrier George Washington to the area of conflict. The Northâs state-run media warned that a planned United States-South Korean military exercise could push the Korean Peninsula closer to âthe brink of nuclear war.â The current crisis at the Korean Peninsula brings back memories of the Cuban missile crisis of 1962 when the United States and Cuba/Soviet Union came to the brink of nuclear war. The unthinkable is here again and this time around we don't have the Kennedy's to hold back a full nuclear war as they did in 1962 â this time events can very quickly get out of control and we have a showdown between North Korea and the USA. At the end of the day a war between the 2-Koreas it is just a proxy war between the United States and China. The real enemy of North Korea still is the United States â and the best choice for North Korea to achieve maximum damage is to attack Tokyo with multiple nuclear warheads â since that would trigger a international monetary system total collapse, because of the massive meltdown of the US dollar. That certainly would take the attention of the poor state of the US economy, and its very poor prospects for the coming years. Eight, you can bet that if North Korea gets desperate and nuke Tokyo - the United States would not retaliate and nuke North Korea, because that would be the same as nuking part of China. That in turn it would trigger a nuclear war between the United States and China. You can bet on that. The United States is playing with fire by escalating this military mess at the Korean Peninsula. .
. November 26, 2010 SouthAmerica: This information was just published in one of the major Brazilian newspapers from Sao Paulo, Brazil. The alarm bells are ringing: China just gave the United States a warning about the American aircraft carrier George Washington and other American war ships coming to China's backyard without China's consent. ***** 26/11/2010 - 12h20 âChina alerta EUA contra exercÃcios militares em sua zona econômicaâ DA REUTERS, EM PEQUIM (CHINA) FOLHA DE SÃO PAULO A China alertou nesta sexta-feira contra quaisquer ações militares em sua zona econômica exclusiva, em resposta à decisão dos Estados Unidos de enviar um porta-aviões para perto da ilha sul-coreana bombardeada na terça-feira (23) pela Coreia do Norte. A Coreia do Norte lançou dezenas de morteiros contra a pequena ilha de Yenpyeong, na fronteira disputada do mar Amarelo, deixando dois militares e dois civis mortos, outros 18 feridos e queimando dezenas de casas. "Nós nos opomos a qualquer ato unilateral conduzido na zona econômica exclusiva da China sem aprovação", disse o Ministério de Relações Exteriores. A zona econômica exclusiva é uma zona naval de até 200 milhas náuticas (cerca de 370 km) a partir da costa de um paÃs. Os EUA enviaram o porta-aviões USS George Washington ao mar Amarelo para exercÃcios militares conjuntos com a Coreia do Sul, previstos para começar no próximo domingo (28). Planejados antes do ataques desta semana, os quatro dias de manobras são considerados uma demonstração de força que, além de enfurecer a Coreia do Norte, costuma incomodar também sua única aliada e vizinha, a China. Washington está pressionando a China a usar sua influência sobre Pyongyang para acalmar a tensão na penÃnsula, mas a China não demonstrou interesse em uma mediação. Respondendo à s crÃticas de parlamentares da oposição e de sua própria base aliada, o governo sul-coreano decidiu ainda enviar mais tropas a cinco ilhas do mar Amarelo, incluindo Yenpyeong, e anunciou que deve alterar as regras militares de seu Exército. Tradicionalmente as tropas sul-coreanas recebem instruções de resguardar as fronteiras mas tentar evitar a escalada de tensão no caso de provocações do Norte, buscando evitar a retomada dos confrontos encerrados em 1953. No entanto, após o recente ataque, o governo sinaliza que pode repensar o papel muito "passivo" frente ao vizinho. Mais cedo, a Coreia do Norte reiterou sua oposição à s manobras militares conjuntas entre a Coreia do Sul e os EUA, dizendo que tais exercÃcios levam a penÃnsula "à beira da guerra". "As manobras militares dos imperialistas americanos e de sua belicosa marionete sul-coreana são direcionadas contra a Coreia do Norte. A situação na penÃnsula coreana está à beira da guerra em consequência do projeto imprudente destes delirantes do gatilho", diz o comunicado difundido pela agência estatal KCNA. NOVOS DISPAROS Enquanto isso, o Ministério da Defesa sul-coreano informou ter ouvido novos disparos em ilhas do mar Amarelo, o que poderia indicar a realização de manobras militares das tropas norte-coreanas. Sons de explosões procedentes da Coreia do Norte foram ouvidos em vários momentos entre 12h e 15h locais (entre 0h e 3h de BrasÃlia), afirmou uma fonte ministerial. "Acreditamos que a Coreia do Norte realizou um exercÃcio de artilharia", disse a autoridade. NOVO MINISTRO DA DEFESA O presidente sul-coreano, Lee Myung-bak, nomeou nesta sexta-feira o ex-Chefe Adjunto do Estado Maior, Kim Kwan-jin, como o novo ministro da Defesa, em substituição a Kim Tae-young, que renunciou ontem ao cargo. Com 40 anos de experiência nas Forças Armadas, o militar de 61 anos é visto como um excelente estrategista e foi escolhido por seu "conhecimento interno de polÃticas [de Defesa] e estratégia", diz um comunicado emitido pela agência estatal Yonhap. A Presidência sul-coreana disse ainda que Kim é adequado para o novo cargo, "num momento em que a responsabilidade do Ministério da Defesa é mais importante do que nunca para proteger as vidas e a propriedade do povo". A saÃda de seu antecessor ocorreu após duras crÃticas da oposição, que pediu a saÃda de Kim e demandou respostas "mais contundentes" frente à s ameaças de Pyongyang. Membros do próprio partido de Lee e parlamentares da oposição acusaram o governo de ser demasiado fraco e responder tarde demais. "Por que nós disparamos apenas 80 morteiros quando o Norte disparou 170?", perguntou Sim Dae-Pyeong, presidente do opositor Partido do Povo. A oposição questionou ainda o motivo das tropas sul-coreanas terem demorada cerca de 15 minutos desde o primeiro ataque norte-coreano para reagir, quando as regras militares estabelecem uma resposta em, no máximo, cinco minutos. http://www1.folha.uol.com.br/mundo/...rcicios-militares-em-sua-zona-economica.shtml .
Well, if it was published in a Brazilian paper it must be important! LOL You really think the USA needs China's consent to send a warship? China is just scared to death. Big chickens! LOL
. November 27, 2010 SouthAmerica: Years ago when they had that massive earthquake in Japan, many analysts wrote articles saying that if that earthquake had hit Tokyo, instead of the other areas of Japan â they said that a massive earthquake hitting Tokyo had the potential of causing a massive meltdown of the US dollar at the speed-of-light â and that was years ago, today Japan has over US$ 1 trillion dollar in foreign exchange reserves and the other Asian countries also have a massive over-supply of US currency. Instead of letting the 2-Koreas cool off and settle this crisis with diplomacy, the United States is putting more fuel into the fire by sending the American aircraft carrier George Washington to the area of conflict. The Northâs state-run media warned that a planned United States-South Korean military exercise could push the Korean Peninsula closer to âthe brink of nuclear war.â The current crisis at the Korean Peninsula brings back memories of the Cuban missile crisis of 1962 when the United States and Cuba/Soviet Union came to the brink of nuclear war.

The real enemy of North Korea still is the United States â and the best choice for North Korea to achieve maximum damage is to attack Tokyo with multiple nuclear warheads â since that would trigger a international monetary system total collapse, because of the massive meltdown of the US dollar. I have been watching the talking heads on American TV this morning saying how easy it would be for the United States to defeat militarily the North Koreans â the translation of that conversation in North Korean means: the North Koreans need to use all their nuclear warheads as a first strike before anybody realize what has happened. I don't think we would have nuclear winter from North Korea using their nukes against Japan, and no country on their right mind would use nuclear weapons against North Korea, since that would be the same as attacking China with nukes. A nuclear attack from North Korea against Japan (Tokyo) that certainly would take the attention of the poor state of the US economy, and its very poor prospects for the coming years. .
