They have also brought in a GIANT radar platform mounted on a barge type vessel along with the US bases in Japan and Guam having eyes and ears on them as well,if Kim jr farts in his sleep,we'll know it and I have the utmost faith in our Military's men and womens determination and might and I also pray for their safety as I really think they could truly be in harms way.We now have two anti-missile destroyers in the area.
This is getting very serious.
Thoughts and prayers to our military men and women in the region, and our allies as well.
That really worked for us in Iraq and Afghanistan didnt it?And, with our "Great Recession" we could use a war to improve our own "warfare state" economy - just like how we did after WWII was over.

Actually I don't think that NK does anything without China's permission. NK should never have been allowed to produce nuclear weapons especially after all the deals we made with them and sending thousands of tons of food. You have to really think what will they be like if when they have a large nuclear stockpile, I would be willing to bet that there are several generals thing this may be the time to destroy the nuclear abilities and send a strong message to Iran. Just some of the things I can think of off my head that NK has done over the years and all without more then a verbal response.These threats are the same games that Kim Jong Ill used to do in order to get food and financial aid to NK. Kim Jong Un is doing the same thing. NK knows they have no chance if they waged war knowing their closest and most powerful ally (China) has already taken sides with the USA and the UN.
Stupidity on NK's part will be the only reason if a war breaks out.
The main difference between un and il is that un is a young man; il was a middle aged man by the time he stepped up to the plate. Young men make stupid decisions. I expect it is doubly so when they think they have a workable nuclear bomb behind them. The best possible solution is that one of his generals whacks him out before this goes too much further.These threats are the same games that Kim Jong Ill used to do in order to get food and financial aid to NK.

I wonder if it is possible that Kim Jong-un really doesn't know his countries true capabilities. As dumb as that may sound it is a very closed society and he has dismissed many of his generals. It wouldn't be the first time that the leader has intimidated all under him to a point that he is told only things they think he wants to hear.These threats are the same games that Kim Jong Ill used to do in order to get food and financial aid to NK.

I do believe they are "out of touch" for the most part with the outside world,which is one of the things that makes this situation very different than past rhetoric with older leaders that knew when to stop,with this young leader (29 I believe) just makes this that much more dangerous of a situation.I just read on cnn that Kim jr. claims "time of explosion is near".I wonder if it is possible that Kim Jong-un really doesn't know his countries true capabilities.

dear china,
do you want your north koreans regular or extra chrispy?
In the last few years they shelled an South Korean island killing sever people and then torpedoed a South Korean navy ship on 26 March 2010 causing the deaths of 46 sailors with nothing more than a nasty letter from our state dept and South Korea. How hard would it be for his generals to convince him that the west is totally afraid of them and would you want to be the only general that tells him differently.I do believe they are "out of touch" for the most part with the outside world,which is one of the things that makes this situation very different than past rhetoric with older leaders that knew when to stop,with this young leader (29 I believe) just makes this that much more dangerous of a situation.I just read on cnn that Kim jr. claims "time of explosion is near".
USA has deployed 3 anti missile systems (2 aegis destroyers and another system) off of Korea which will effectively stop North Korea from performing long range missile tests. The US is conducting war games that are longer than a month in duration, that included the use of nuclear bombers. There isn't much more wiggle room in terms of North Korean response but I think the chance of anything happening is quite slim unless the Chinese forces were to back up NK which has been reported as unlikely.Read that on news when i googled north korea. are they serious is that guy on korean crack or something? The base here is so dead its scary.
