The United States and South Korean armed forces went on the highest level of alert - Watchcon 2 - Thursday, April 11, ready for multiple launches after at least one North Korean ballistic Musudan missile was sighted fueled and ready to launch at any moment on the country’s eastern coast. With an estimated range of more 3,400 kilometers, it places US bases in Guam and the Okinawa islands within range as well as South Korea and Japan.

According to a senior US defense official in Washington, the floating SBX X-band radar is in position for tracking missiles fired by Pyongyang. South Korean officials, commenting on the apparent movement of several ballistic missiles on North Korea’s east coast, report that this is an apparent attempt to confuse intelligence monitoring by the US, Japan and South Korea.
The US and Japan, which earlier deployed Patriot interceptors in Tokyo, have said that any missile would be intercepted if it showed signs of heading for the United States or Japan. But neither mentioned a US military target or the possibility of a missile flying over Japan to land in the Pacific Ocean.

Military sources in Washington point to the US Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel’s warning Wednesday that North Korea is “skating very close to a dangerous line” with its bellicose rhetoric on nuclear arms, and his stress on America’s ability to protect itself and its allies, as the most serious statement to come from the Obama administration so far. It was the first warning of a US military response to a North Korean missile launch.

South Koreans are for the first time showing signs of anxiety about a possible outbreak of war. People have started stocking food and parents were telling reporters Thursday that children are being kept home from school in case of a sudden war emergency.

In one television segment aired by North Korean state TV Wednesday, hundreds of North Korean soldiers were shown standing in their positions and then, upon catching sight of the president and party, rushing toward him in great excitement, although they didn’t dare get too close.
Such staged scenes, say the sources, point up the North Korean president’s weakness and uncertainty rather than his control and popularity in the army.

Those sources predict that Kim Jong-Un may feel compelled to assert himself by ordering a missile launch. Backing down at this point, a failed launch or a foreign interception would be a black mark against him and seriously undermine a leadership which is rooted in a ruthless personality cult. It might even lead to his ouster.

The Korean crisis heads the agenda of the G8 foreign ministers meeting in London Thursday.

US lawmaker: North Korea may have missile-deliverable nuclear weapons


Representative Doug Lamborn, a Colorado Republican, Thursday quoted an excerpt from a Defense Intelligence Agency report expressing “moderate confidence” in the finding that North Korea has nuclear weapons capable of delivery by ballistic missiles whose “reliability will be low.”

“The few who understand the system will either be so interested in its profits or be so dependent upon its favours that there will be no opposition from that class,

while on the other hand, the great body of people, mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantage that capital derives from the system, will bear its burdens without complaint, and perhaps without even suspecting that the system is inimical to their interests.”

Dis is getting more disastrous by d day hope nigeria would not be affected by dis tug of war

Hey Carmen, please tell me where you think inflation will come from?

120m Americans out of work, 48m on food stamps, 1.2T student loan debt, 11T mort debt, I can go on and on.
Good luck with inflation when nobody has any money, velocity of money is zero and we have 80T in derivatives non net to dig us further into the theft of any future GDP earnings, so no inflation is not a threat, nor will it ever be in the near future, we have lived off of leverage and stolen so far into the future that there is no longer any near term GDP to steal from, thats why QE will be indefinite and inflation will be negative,

Japan was the beginning of how excess gets purged and the entire globe will be under this weight for a long long time. I am not sure why we nobody can see how Japan is and was the pattern that we are all going to have to follow. The only way out is truly global war and destruction to reset the system, that is how it was, how it will always be and it is just a matter of time now

Once it goes nuclear, world powers would be forced to get involved, and that could escalate things which would affect global economy. That's assuming it doesn't turn into a a WWIII.

Secretary of State John Kerry touched down in Korea this morning just hours after a Pentagon agency has concluded for the first time that the secretive country could have a likely ability to launch a nuclear-armed missile at its enemies.

The details were leased in Pentagon Defense Intelligence Agency documents from last month that were mistakenly marked as unclassified. The papers detailed that they have ‘moderate confidence’ that Pyongyang is able to launch ballistic missiles armed with nuclear weapons.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, who was in London for the G8 Summit, touched down at the Seoul military airport in Seongnam Friday as part of a spearheaded effort to shift power toward Asia and away from Europe and the Middle East.
