US Military - North Korean Missile Launch - Kim Jong-Un intends to walk the walk......
Enough bluster: Apparently Kim Jong-Un intends to walk the walk.

A prominent arms analyst has told an Australian think-tank that U.S. troop movements west of the peninsula indicate that a North Korean missile launch is imminent.

Australian Foreign Minister Bob Carr said the following about North Korea:

"In terms of military intelligence, it appears the country is almost ready to deploy an intercontinental ballistic missile with a capacity of reaching the United States."

“The United States, Australia and other allies appear to be taking important policy decisions on the basis of the imminent deployment of the KN-08.

The impending launch comes on the heels of intelligence about missile movements on the western side of the peninsula. Pentagon Press Secretary told reporters yesterday that “test flights” of certain missile systems were possible.

James Martin Center from Washington, DC for his take on that statement. Here's Lewis' response, in full:

"There have been a number of vague official statements and inscrutable leaks that seem to suggest North Korea is taking steps to deploy the KN-08 ICBM"

There’s also talk about the somewhat less terrifying Musudan, which is believed to be a varient of the SCUD — a missile more fit for terrifying soft-targets, like population centers, rather than taking out military targets

This measure from Kim Jong-Un follows significant troop movements on behalf of both the U.S. and China.

Those provinces both align with known nuclear sites inside North Korea

Though Gertz and other analysts tend to believe China’s troop movements are in support of North Korea, recent calls from Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel to top military leadership in China indicate some level of cooperation.

In light of Carr's comments, it is worth re-reading Hugh White's Interpreter post from December 2012, The Prospect of a North Korean ICBM. Key quote:

"Extended deterrence depends on the credibility (to both the adversary and the ally) of US threats to respond to any nuclear attack on the ally with a US nuclear attack on the adversary.
Such credibility depends a great deal on whether the adversary has the capacity to hit back at the US. As long as North Korea has no credible capacity to target America itself, a US retaliatory strike on the North carries relatively low risks for the US itself.

But if the North can hit back, the costs for the US go up dramatically, and the credibility of the US threat goes down. In a crisis, everyone will be asking whether stopping North Korea doing whatever it wants to do is important enough to America to risk a nuclear attack on Honolulu or LA."


So the question be..... what if it NOT a "test flight"
of a missile
scared
Do the US
A) shoot it up on the launch pad?
B) shoot it down once it lifts off?
C) shoot it down once it enters US airspace traveling at mach10?
D) its just a "test flight" don't worry ......abomb

Now USA cant even protect the Pentagon from a slow moving 747


So Kim Jong-Un puts up the very creditable missile threat i.e. walks the walk.

The US has to shoot first....rocket and its game on!!!

NK has more spies than anywhere else on Earth.
If Pyongyang gave the order to deploy, the entire area would be leveled from orbit before they even attached the fuel hose.

Never gonna happen.

The deployment comes amid further threatening statements by North Korea and heightened tensions in the region — a situation that “does not need to get hotter,” a U.S. State Department spokeswoman said.

The move of the missile and launch equipment could mean that Pyongyang, which unleashed another round of scathing rhetoric accusing the United States of pushing the region to the “brink of war.”

The US shoots first...
Seoul then gets pounded with 40,000 artillery rounds & rockets an hour....

If your counting Chinese spies well yes. But NK citizen spies no.

In Oz we have more Chinese spies than any other. And yes the government knows who thousands actually are but just watch them. Some are actually double agents.

Rodong Sinmun Accuses U.S. of Reinforcing Troops in S. Korea
Pyongyang, April 3 (KCNA) -
[link to www.kcna.co.jp]

The number of the U.S. imperialist aggressor forces in south Korea totaled about 37 000, according to the "2012 report on structure of bases" published by the U.S. Defense Department. This is almost 9 000 more than that agreed between the south Korean puppet forces and the U.S.

Rodong Sinmun Wednesday in a bylined commentary says that this is the manifestation of the sinister intention to pose a military threat to the DPRK and step up pressure on it and provoke a nuclear war on the Korean Peninsula.

The huge increase of the U.S. imperialist aggressor forces in south Korea is a product of the conspiracy between the U.S. and the south Korean warmongers aiming at invasion of the DPRK, the commentary says, and goes on:

The U.S. brought the troops for aggression to south Korea to instigate the south Korean puppet forces, engrossed in confrontation with compatriots, to ignite a war of aggression. The puppet forces do not hesitate to stand in the van of provoking a war against the DPRK at the instigation of the U.S.

The reinforcement of the U.S. troops in south Korea will result in stoking military tension in Northeast Asia and igniting a nuclear war against the DPRK.

As long as the U.S. imperialist aggressors are allowed to station in south Korea, the danger of a nuclear war can never be removed.

The DPRK will mercilessly destroy the U.S. troops that have inflicted the pain of national division on the Korean nation for over half a century and are bringing the danger of a nuclear war.

When a decisive battle starts, the U.S. troops and military bases in south Korea will become the DPRK's first target.

The U.S. and south Korean puppet forces should bear in mind the DPRK's last warning.
