The US and South Korea - North Korea Crisis Update - 5


Lets Get Real: 

This cool response by the Oval has shown how empty the words are out of North Korea, the Oval has allowed the US to have bombers drills over South Korea and now with this move by the US Navy it sends a clear message to the North that it past practice of blackmail will not work.   The US allies in the region, South Korea and Japan will feel safer that the US has placed muscle behind its rhetoric.   The present crisis is over folks, in less the North is bluffing and  they invade an South Korean Island with the next few hours or days, if this did happen it would be a massive mistake, the South Korea Armed Forces have been give order to react, thus a limited attack by the North could lead to a regional War folks.    Given what we have out of North Korea it can be judged that this crisis is over, none the less the US should keep its forces on alert, lets not give a weak impression, lets not have a war by mistake. 

North Korean Crisis Update - 4

The New York Times: Reports on the latest comments by the new leader of North Korea, Kim Jong-un, " this week, he appeared to shift his tone slightly by reiterating that his nuclear weapons were a deterrent.. ".

Lets Get Real:

Thus if you take the above folks and the news in the previous post that North Korean troops have been taken off alert then the CRISIS is over, as far as the North Korean Crisis is EVER over, the next one will be when North Korea can produce plutonium and its Yongbyon Plant, thus the North will have two sources for nuclear material for its nuclear bombs.    The attempt by the North to blackmail the US has failed this time, thus credit for President Obama, the next time the North might try to push it even further, invade one of the South Korea's Islands or further attacks on the naval vessels of the South, this overall Crisis IS NOT over folks, just his episode, no need to head to the bunkers yet if your in the South, but it might happen in the future folks.   Also how long can the US keep Japan from going nuclear, one day Japan will feed the need to be a nuclear armed power, would you trust the North if  it was in your neighbourhood. 

North Korea Crisis Update - 3


Lets Get Real:

If the  above is true folks, this shows the present Crisis is over, its shows how the Stalinist Regime is just playing games, and gives a lot of political credit to the Oval, it has not allowed itself to be rattled, to rush to offer deal to the North, it has been calm, and has treated North Korea as a unruly child, in many respects the Oval has sent North Korea to bed with no food, as in its not allowing itself to be blackmailed in to giving food to North Korea.   Thus folks for the time being the World can rest, the North Koreans will be back, they will try further blackmail, the West now has a textbook on how to deal with the North, do not get caught up in a crisis mode, allow the North to bluster, support your allies, then do nothing, the North Koreans troops are off alert, the DMZ is not about to get hot folks. This of course could be a bluff folks, if they invade a South Korean Island ALL bets are off in Asia. 

North Korean Crisis Update - 2


Lets Get Real: 

This blog gives credit to the Obama Oval over its policy of not allowing itself to get rattled by the North Korean Regime, the Oval does not want to see itself blackmailed as was Bill Clinton and Bush 43, the US has shown its support for its allies, South Korea and Japan by having bomber drills and sending in US Navel vessels to show the North that any military threat will not be allowed to cause a crisis in the region.    It can be argued that Jimmy Carter should be sent to North Korea to see what they want, Carter is so loathed by the right, thus any deal he makes would be suspect, thus the Oval would have to be VERY CLEAR to Carter that it has to be real deal, one in which the North gives up its nuclear ambitions, and does not sell its technology to Iran or any other rouge States.     Then if the North Koreans agree to such a deal and keep to it, in word and faith then the North Korean Regime can be bought back in to the international system, of course the operative word is IF, one has doubts that this road will be taken, Israel would be suspect of the Oval, and then you could have a nuclear arms race in the Middle East, thus the failure of US policy towards North Korea since 1994. 

North Korea Crisis Update - 1

BBC News: Reports that North Korea has stated that it will restart its plutonium producing Yongbyon nuclear complex.

Lets Get Real: 

Thus folks the Stalinist Regime after Yongbyon gets restarted will have two ways to produce nuclear material that can be used for nuclear weapons, these being plutonium and uranium, one can not take North Korea at its words, at  its most basic the North Koreans are liars, they fooled the US in 1994 with the agreement that was aimed to prevent the North going nuclear, the Regime has blackmailed the US from the Clinton to the Bush 43 Administrations, the worse part is that the US has given North Korea benefits for blackmail, thus the present mess.  At least Obama with the worry of Iran is not going down that road,  the US has to place pressure on China to get North Korea back in to the box, the new South Korean President has made it clear that the time when the North could attack the South and not fear any reaction is over, also the South Korea Military have been given the green light to attack first should they think that the North is about to attack, lets hope there are not mistakes folks, it could get very hot in Asia.
