December 22, 2010 SouthAmerica: South Korea says it will hold large land and air drills Thursday From Kyung Lah, CNN - December 22, 2010 http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/asiapcf/12/22/south.korea.drills/ Seoul, South Korea (CNN) -- South Korea will hold its largest land and air winter drills Thursday in an area adjacent to North Korea, the South Korean army said Wednesday. ***** The North Koreans are going to be sorry when the South Koreans start using these weapons. North Korea have thousands of missiles. But South Korea have this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKsSwKbp2LI .
Now its the South who is escalating the situation. Funny how tough the South can be with a US nuclear carrier fleet standing by and A US President who has gone on record saying The US will defend them. The North has backed down,the South needs to stop escalating the situation now
December 22, 2010 SouthAmerica: Reply to Range Roover I just posted this info in another place in response to the latest video of Peter Schiff about the US economy. *** Peter's mindset still is stuck on US free market capitalist ideas that died a sudden death in 2008. And without the massive US government intervention to keep the US economy artificially going, we would have had a complete meltdown of the US economic and financial system. For all practical purposes the US economic system still is in critical condition, and in a coma, and on its way to die a slow death. The reality is: the United States economic system is history, and it will implode one step at the time until we have the final meltdown of the US dollar and the international monetary system based on the US dollar. I have been discussing on Brazzil magazine what historians will be trying to understand about 20 or 25 years from now â around the year 2030 and 2035 â they will be looking back to the period 2008 â 2015 in the same way we look back today to the late 1980's and early 1990's when we had the implosion and demise of the Soviet Union. The process is already underway for the total collapse of the US economic system, and we should start discussing what come next after the collapse materializes â the US economy will reborn in another form just like the Soviet Union system reborn as today's Russia. The entire system is ready to blow up and go up in flames, and the newly restarted North Korean war might be the trigger that finally would set everything in motion for the final meltdown. By the way, Peter forgot to say on his piece that Argentina was the poster country that used to showcase the American capitalist system at work in the 1990's until they had a complete meltdown of the Argentinian economy â you know the Argentinian peso is not considered among the main foreign reserve currencies of the international monetary system such as the US dollar â that is a major difference that's helping keep the US economy alive a little longer than the Soviet Union. Today when I think about the future of the US economy the first thought that comes to mind is the demise of the Soviet Union â and what is in store for the final act of the US economic system on the world stage. .
December 24, 2010 SouthAmerica: It would be a piece of cake for North Korea to attack Tokyo with 5 or 6 nuclear warheads. Kim Yong-chun, quoted by state news agency KCNA, said the North was "getting fully prepared to launch a sacred war of justice", and also threatened to use a "nuclear deterrent". Belligerent rethoric grows between North and South Korea December 23, 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugjnFaWJcY0&feature=player_embedded ***** Distance from Pyongyang to Tokyo = Distance is 1288 kilometers or 801 miles or 696 nautical miles Distance from Seoul to Tokyo = Distance is 1153 kilometers or 716 miles or 622 nautical miles ***** North Korea Might Hold Nuke-Capable Missile, Report Says Thursday, Dec. 23, 2010 A new research report indicates that North Korea might have developed an medium-range ballistic missile that could be loaded with a nuclear warhead, the Yonhap News Agency reported today (see GSN, Oct. 13). The BM-25 Musudan missile could seemingly be tipped with a warhead as heavy as 1.2 tons and has a "circular error probability" for accuracy estimated at about one mile, according to senior researcher Han Sang-soon of South Korea's Defense Agency for Technology and Quality. "That means it can carry a nuclear warhead," Han stated in a report released widely today. The Musudan was rolled out publicly during an October military parade, though it was reportedly seen earlier in a 2007 event that was not open to international media. Analysts have to date expressed doubt regarding the North's ability to prepare a nuclear warhead small enough to fit onto a missile. There are also conflicting reports regarding the Musudan. The Yonhap report said the missile, derived from the former Soviet R-27, has a flight range of nearly 2,500 miles and that roughly 50 had been fielded by 2009. Analyst Joshua Pollack said in an October blog posting that the missile was believed to be able to fly roughly 1,865 miles; a South Korean newspaper article from that month indicated that 12 Musudans had been deployed (Yonhap News Agency, Dec. 23). http://www.globalsecuritynewswire.org/gsn/nw_20101223_8212.php .
The US would absolutely flatten N Korea if they were to use nukes on S Korea or Japan. Just more empty threats from the tyrant little midget.They know better then to attack The South or Japan with nukes
December 24, 2010 SouthAmerica: Reply to Range Rover It doesn't matter, since North Korea would have achieved its goal. I just posted this on Brazzil magazine about this same subject: We are on the brink of nuclear war. If North Korea decides to go for broke (a possibility that they have been preparing themselves for over 50 years - the final showdown with the United States) and attacks Tokyo with 5 or 6 nuclear warheads then we would have an immediate massive meltdown of the US dollar around the world and the total collapse of the international monetary system based on the US dollar. We are talking about collapsing stock markets and the banking system from around the world - an international economic and monetary crisis as never seen before. That also would affect the Brazilian economy since we would have a stock market meltdown, also the banking system and insurance companies would have a meltdown - and as far as the Brazilian Central bank is concerned they would be able to use its $ 300 billion in US dollar reserves as Confetti. .
December 24, 2010 SouthAmerica: Reply to Range Rover One thing is very clear: There are 3 countries that are provoking North Korea and these 3 countries are potential target for a nuclear attack - the United States, South Korea and Japan. Then Japan becomes the obvious choice for a nuclear attack by North Korea - and to be more exact Tokyo has a big bulls eye as the number one target for such nuclear warheads to land. All North Korea needs is for 4 or 5 nuclear warheads to land in Tokyo for them to accomplish their goal in a massive preemptive attack. North Korea would have only one chance and that is that surprise preemptive attack with everything they have against Tokyo. North Korea can launch a 2,000 missile attack against Tokyo â some of these missiles will be launched from North Korean submarines â and some of these missiles can be armed with nuclear warheads. If Japans Patriot system has a good day they will be able to stop 30 percent of the North Korean missiles which is 600 missiles that means that 1,400 missiles can land in Tokyo. If North Korea attack includes 5 or 6 nuclear warheads then they have a very good chance that all the nuclear warheads are going to land in Tokyo. The Patriot system must be a very profitable item for Raytheon its manufacturing company, but it's not a good defense system if other countries are shooting at you 2,000 missiles and some armed with nuclear warheads. You best defense against a massive missile attack from North Korea against Tokyo would be for anyone to be out of town â it would be even better if you are able to be in another country. ******** Patriot system â a very expensive system As usual with the Pentagon, cost is no object. But the Patriot is very expensive system and it's getting costlier all the time. Raytheon and Lockheed originally promised to deliver the new Patriot system for $3.7 billion dollars. Now the cost has soared to $7.8 billion. Each Patriot missile unit costs about $170 million. In the first Gulf War, an average of four missiles were launched against a single incoming Scud. ***** Based on these costs it would cost about $ 900 million dollars for the Japanese to shoot-down each missile launched by North Korea. Times 2,000 missiles then you do the math.... In a Nutshell: The best option for the Japanese against a massive missile attack from North Korea (and some armed with nuclear warheads) - it's for the residents of Tokyo to leave town, and come back on a later date after such nuclear attack has happened to check if there's still anything standing. Anyway, Hiroshima and Nagasaki was just a small preview to what would happen to Tokyo when North Korea decides to go in for the kill. .
