North Korean cargo ship inspected in Philippines


Mar. 3, 2016 10:23 PM EST

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — Philippine coast guard authorities say they have inspected a North Korean cargo vessel that docked at a port northwest of Manila in one of the first such checks since the United Nations Security Council imposed sanctions on Pyongyang over its nuclear program.

Coast Guard Deputy Commandant Athelo Ybanez said Friday that MV Jin Teng was inspected in Subic Bay, a former U.S.-run naval base. The ship arrived Thursday from Balembang, Indonesia, loaded with palm kernel expeller.

A report to the coast guard headquarters in Manila said inspectors did not find any suspicious materials. Some minor deficiencies such as missing fire hoses, a corroded air vent, and electrical switches without insulation will need to be repaired before the ship will be allowed to sail.

N. Korea threatens nuclear attacks after severe U.N. sanctions
March 3, 2016 - North Korea has threatened nuclear war in the past, but it is unclear just how advanced the country's nuclear program really is.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has ordered his country's nuclear weapons made ready for use at a moment's notice, the country's official state news agency reported Friday. Kim also said his country will ready its military so it is prepared to carry out pre-emptive attacks, calling the current situation very precarious, according to the Korean Central News Agency.

The threats in the statement are part of the authoritarian nation's regular propaganda effort to show strength in the face of what it sees as an effort by its enemies South Korea and the United States to overthrow its leaders; it follows harsh U.N. sanctions over the North's recent nuclear test and long-range rocket launch and comes ahead of joint U.S.-South Korean war games this month that the North claims are invasion preparations.

North Korea has threatened nuclear war in the past, but it is unclear just how advanced the country's nuclear program really is. Pyongyang is thought to have a handful of crude atomic bombs, but there is considerable outside debate about whether it is technologically able to shrink a warhead and mount it on a missile. "The only way for defending the sovereignty of our nation and its right to existence under the present extreme situation is to bolster up nuclear force both in quality and quantity," the North's dispatch Friday said, paraphrasing Kim Jong Un. It said that Kim stressed "the need to get the nuclear warheads deployed for national defense always on standby so as to be fired any moment."

On Thursday, North Korea fired six short-range projectiles into the sea off its east coast, South Korean officials said, just hours after the U.N. Security Council approved the toughest sanctions on the North in two decades. The firings also came shortly after South Korea's National Assembly passed its first legislation on human rights in North Korea. The North Korean projectiles, fired from the eastern coastal town of Wonsan, flew about 100 to 150 kilometers (60 to 90 miles) before landing in the sea, South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement. North Korea routinely test-fires missiles and rockets, but often conducts weapons launches when angered at international condemnation.

North Korea leader tells military to be ready to use nuclear weapons
4 Mar 2016 - North Korean leader Kim Jong Un ordered his country to be ready to use its nuclear weapons at any time and the military to be in "pre-emptive attack" mode in the face of growing threats from its enemies, state media said on Friday.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un ordered his country to be ready to use its nuclear weapons at any time and the military to be in "pre-emptive attack" mode in the face of growing threats from its enemies, state media said on Friday. The comments, carried by the North's official KCNA news agency, marked a further escalation of tension on the Korean peninsula after the U.N. Security Council imposed harsh new sanctions against the isolated state on Wednesday for its nuclear programme. North Korea, known for belligerent rhetoric, has previously threatened pre-emptive attacks on its enemies, including South Korea and the United States. Military experts doubt it has yet developed the capability to fire a long-range missile with a miniaturised warhead to deliver a nuclear weapon as far as the United States.

Kim made the comments as he supervised military exercises involving newly developed rocket launchers, KCNA reported. It did not mention the date of the drills but said the new weapons had South Korea within range. South Korea's defence ministry said on Thursday North Korea launched several projectiles off its coast into the sea up to 150 kilometres (90 miles) away, an apparent response to the U.N. sanctions.

Kim said North Korea should "bolster up (its) nuclear force both in quality and quantity" and stressed "the need to get the nuclear warheads deployed for national defence always on standby so as to be fired any moment," KCNA quoted him as saying. "Now is the time for us to convert our mode of military counteraction toward the enemies into a pre-emptive attack one in every aspect." Kim criticised South Korean President Park Geun-hye in his first direct published mention of her by name for acting "in league with the U.S. scoundrels," adding, "her hysteria will precipitate only her ruin in the long run," KCNA said.

A spokesman for South Korea's Unification Ministry, which handles relations with the North, said Kim's comments were not helpful and may have been intended for the domestic audience to boost morale in the face of the new U.N. sanctions. A U.S. Defense Department spokesman, Commander Bill Urban, said, responding to the report: "We urge North Korea to refrain from provocative actions that aggravate tensions and instead focus on fulfilling its international obligations and commitments." The latest U.N. sanctions, drafted by the United States and China, the North's main ally, punish the isolated country following its fourth nuclear test, in January, as well as last month's satellite launch, which the United States and others say was really a test of ballistic missile technology.

Defiant North Korea fires ballistic missile into sea, Japan protests
Sat Mar 19, 2016 - North Korea fired two ballistic missiles on Friday, one of which flew about 800 km (500 miles) while the other exploded shortly after launch, U.S. officials said, as the isolated state stepped up its defiance of tough new U.N. and U.S. sanctions.

U.S. officials told Reuters the medium-range missiles appeared to be fired from road-mobile launchers. One missile, fired from north of the capital, Pyongyang, flew across the peninsula and into the sea off the east coast early Friday morning, South Korea's Office of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement. That would mark North Korea's first test of a medium-range missile, one of which was capable of reaching Japan, since 2014. U.S. officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the second missile flew a short period before exploding.

South Korea did not confirm the type of missile but U.S. officials said they were medium-range ballistic missiles. A range of 800 km was likely beyond the capability of most short-range missiles in North Korea's arsenal. The North's Rodong missile has an estimated maximum range of 1,300 km (810 miles), according to the South's defense ministry. North Korea's action provoked a barrage of criticism and appeals. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu Kang urged it to abide by U.N. resolutions and not do anything to exacerbate tensions.

U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter said the United States was "analyzing the results of those launches," but called on Beijing to use its influence over Pyongyang. "China could do a lot more," Carter said, adding Beijing should seek a nuclear-free North Korea. The U.S. State Department in a statement urged North Korea to focus on taking concrete steps toward fulfilling its international commitments and obligations.

Japan lodged a protest with North Korea through its embassy in Beijing, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe told parliament. "Japan strongly demands North Korea to exercise self-restraint and will take all necessary measures, such as warning and surveillance activity, to be able to respond to any situations," Abe said. South Korea's Unification Ministry said Pyongyang should focus on improving the lives of its people and that provocative actions would help nothing.

U.N. Security Council condemns North Korea ballistic missile launches
March 18, 2016 - North Korea's missile threats have increased in recent weeks.

The United Nations Security Council strongly condemned North Korea's most recent launch of ballistic missiles. The U.N. body held an emergency meeting Friday regarding Pyongyang's provocations in response to the firing of at least one ballistic missile into waters off the eastern coast of the peninsula Friday.

South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff had said the missile flew about 500 miles before it fell into the water, and that a second missile disappeared from the radar at an altitude of 11 miles before possibly detonating mid-air before reaching its target. The Rodong has a maximum range of 800 miles and could easily hit all parts of South Korea, and a part of Japan.

The United Nations Security Council held an emergency meeting Friday regarding Pyongyang’s provocations in response to the firing of at least one ballistic missile​

In their press statement, the Security Council condemned both the Friday launch and Pyongyang's March 10 announcement of rocket tests, calling the actions violations of U.N. resolutions. South Korean television network SBS reported the first rocket fired Friday was launched at 5:55 a.m. and flew from western North Korea across the territory, falling on the other side in the East Sea, or the Sea of Japan, after traveling some 500 miles.

The second missile was fired at 6:17 a.m. and disappeared from South Korean radar at an altitude of 11 miles. As North Korea's missile threats increase, South Korea has begun to deploy a mid-range surface-to-air missile, called "M-SAM" that can intercept an incoming missile. The M-SAM can strike incoming missiles at altitudes of up to 25 miles, much like U.S. Patriot missiles, South Korea's KBS reported.

North Korea developing ballistic missiles, Joint Chiefs chairman says
March 18, 2016 - Pyongyang’s pursuit of weapons development is ongoing, and cyberattacks continue to pose threats to U.S. network security.

North Korea continues to develop long-range ballistic missiles that threaten the continental United States, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Joseph Dunford said. He told the Senate Armed Services Committee on Thursday Pyongyang's pursuit of weapons development is ongoing, and cyberattacks continue to pose threats to U.S. network security. Dunford said North Korea keeps investing in military power in order to challenge the competitiveness of the United States, Yonhap reported.

At the same hearing, Defense Secretary Ashton Carter similarly condemned the North's announced nuclear test and long-range rocket launch, although Pyongyang has said the satellite launch was for "peaceful" purposes, and a U.S. analyst has said the satellite appears to be partly functioning. But Pyongyang's development of submarine-launched ballistic missiles is also a source of increasing concern for U.S. interests.

According to 38 North, a Johns Hopkins University website dedicated to North Korea issues, recent satellite imagery of a North Korean shipyard indicated North Korea is working on SLBMs, as well as on an experimental ballistic missile submarine. North Korea also launched at least one ballistic missile into the East Sea, or the Sea of Japan early Friday, according to Seoul's military officials. The move was immediately condemned in Japan and the United States.

Late Thursday Pentagon spokesman Cmdr. Bill Urban said the launch is a clear violation of United Nations Security Council resolutions, and State Department spokesman John Kirby said the United States is closely watching the situation on the Korean peninsula. In Tokyo on Friday Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe denounced Pyongyang for the provocation, saying the country is "bracing for any contingency," The Japan Times reported.

North Korea can't start a war. They don't have Russias or Chinas backing.

They would be decimated.

IF THEY were to commit to a first strike that would be very damaging, the end run would be very disastrous for them.

Before committing to a war you need a stockpile of resources.....and money. Then you need to plan for any and ALL contingencies.

You need enough manpower and resources to commit to the fight, and you need abundant food for the troops, fuel for the equipment. And a staging area that is safe for your wounded. North Korea is really not all that big.

You need battlefield intelligence before, and during the conflict. The intelligence needs to be up to date and accurate.

You need to know how to perform offensive operations, while keeping your command and control safe and free from an attack from outside the perimeter / FEBA ( Forward Edge of the Battle Area ). You dont want to be on offensive operations, and the bad guys sneak inside your perimeter and decimate the Militarys Nucleus and / or Military leadership.

Korea has not been in a war since the Korean Conflict. So their troops....especially ground troops, lack experience. The past generation of North Koreans are too old to be on the battle field passing knowledge and wisdom to the younger generation of troops. Carrying a gun is one thing, but having the fortitude to use it is another. A excessively scared and inexperienced North Korean is a deceased North Korean.

If North Korea was to pull a "stunt" such as initiating a war, they would cause Russia, China and others to distance themselves even more from North Korea.

Would someone inside North Korea...possibly the Military, try to assassinate Kim Jong-Un if he started a war? How many Military defectors would he have? And he has before... appointed Military leaders with no Military experience.

And there is a host of other things that need to be in play with starting a conflict / war.

North Korea could have miniaturized nukes, Japan report says
March 25, 2016 - Pyongyang is stepping up missile development, according to a Tokyo government think tank.

North Korea may be capable of producing nuclear warheads, a Japanese think tank stated Friday. Tokyo's National Institute for Defense Studies said in its annual East Asian Strategic Overview report Pyongyang developed miniaturization capabilities under Kim Jong Un's direct orders, Jiji Press reported. The report also stated the North is ramping up submarine-launched ballistic missile development, and if Pyongyang deploys SLBMs, its nuclear capabilities would make significant advancements.

Since Kim came to power, North Korean officials have been purged at increasing rates, the Japanese report stated. "Fearpolitik through purges is strengthening the dictatorship," the report stated, according to South Korean news service Newsis. The Japanese findings align with a growing concern in Washington that North Korea has made advancements in weapons miniaturization. A number of U.S. officials told CNN they have reason to believe North Korea has "probably" a miniaturized nuclear warhead in its possession.

North Korea is increasingly touting its nuclear weapons capabilities, and concern is growing in the United States and Japan about its missiles development. This photo of a long-range missile launcher was displayed on a picture board in front of the North Korean embassy in Beijing in 2013​

There have been no formal announcements on the issue in Washington, although North Korea has increasingly touted its nuclear weapons capabilities and has claimed it has nuclear-tipped ballistic missiles capable of hitting the continental United States. Kim Jong Un is "determined to prove his doubters wrong," a U.S. official said.

Adm. William Gortney, head of the U.S. Northern Command, told Congress that it would be "prudent" to "assume [Kim] has the capability to miniaturize a nuclear weapons and put it on an ICBM." Others are refraining from a definitive response and said assuming North Korea has the capability is not conclusive since they have "not demonstrated" its capacity, according to Pentagon Press Secretary Peter Cook. Kim recently said Pyongyang had "successfully" tested a solid-fuel rocket engine and that the test is a stepping stone to developing a "ballistic rocket" that can "ruthlessly beat down hostile forces."

North Korea calls U.S., South Korea forces 'bastards'
March 24, 2016 - A North Korean general said Pyongyang would undertake “retaliatory strikes” against Seoul if provoked.

Kim Jong Un said major buildings in Seoul must be "crushed mercilessly" during an artillery practice where a North Korean general referred to the United States and South Korea forces as "bastards." The North Korean leader said soldiers must engage in exercises with the aim of destroying the presidential Blue House in the South Korean capital, and achieving unification in this manner, Pyongyang's state news agency KCNA reported Friday, local time.

Kim made the statement during a Korean People's Army long-range artillery hitting practice, and urged his military to sweep away and destroy "anti-North institutions" in the South, South Korean news service News 1 reported. "All soldiers must be trained to become fighters who each do the work of many men," Kim said, adding they should maintain readiness to "crush mercilessly into pieces" the "anti-unitary institutions" in Seoul at his order.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has stepped up provocative rhetoric, according to state media.​

Kim praised the military and said their shooting was "extremely accurate." KCNA stated the purpose of the long-distance artillery practice was to prepare for decisive action against the South Korean president "Park Geun-hye's faction" if Seoul were to take actions against the Workers' Party Central Committee. Hundreds of long-range artillery and elite troops at the practice, North Korea said. Pak Yong Sik, a senior North Korean military officer, said the firing practices proved the military's willingness to "defend to the death" the leadership in Pyongyang.

Pak also condemned the United States and South Korea for ongoing joint military exercises. "If those bastards make a last struggle of defiance, all our forces would respond with merciless retaliatory strikes until Seoul is turned into powder and transformed into ruin," Pak reportedly said. In Seoul, the South Korean president said during a memorial that the only way to break the cycle of North Korea provocations is for the people of South Korea to draw strength in unity. The memorial was held a day ahead of the sixth anniversary of the Cheonan warship sinking, Yonhap reported.

Nuclear weapons are beatable. The science of military strategy and military planning has been around for 6000 years, since Sunzu. That science is not going to disappear now that suddenly we invented nuclear weapons some 50 years ago. I could write about existing military models that incorporate asymmetrical nuclear warfare received from an enemy but still can design a set of solution paths to victory against that enemy.
