Japan Prepares To Fight Three Front 'War'
First there was Japan's 'capture' of the Senkakus and the looming troubles that small island will lead to with the Chinese. Then came the economic deflationary spiral, as the global devaluation of developed market currencies prompted Japan to start an aggressive currency war of their own. And now, with North Korea's sabre rattling growing ever louder, Fox News reports that following comments by Japan's Yoshihide Suga on "destroying any missile heading towards Japan," the North Koreans retorted with a threat that Tokyo would be the first target if they decide to play the nuclear card. Luckily, we have John Kerry on the spot, "if Kim Jong Un decides to launch a missile, whether it's across the Sea of Japan or some other direction, he will be choosing willfully to ignore the entire international community," as he weighed in on comments leaked yesterday that North Korea now had the know-how to arm a ballistic missile with a nuclear warhead - even if the weapons would lack reliability. Which is worse an unreliable nuclear missile or a reliable one? Though there is a silver lining, since if a broken window creates a Keynesian utopia, just think of the GDP-boosting greatness of a nuclear explosion in the heart of Roppongi.
North Korea reportedly warned Japan that Tokyo would be the first target if Pyongyang decides to play its nuclear card.
...
"We are doing all we can to protect the safety of our nation," chief Cabinet spokesman Yoshihide Suga said, though he and Ministry of Defense officials refused to confirm the reports about the naval alert, saying they do not want to "show their cards" to North Korea.
Japanese officials long have feared that North Korea not only has the means but several potential motives for launching an attack on Tokyo or major U.S. military installations on Japan’s main island.
...
Kerry also weighed in on an intelligence report that rocked Washington on Thursday and suggested that North Korea now had the knowhow to arm a ballistic missile with a nuclear warhead -- even if the weapons would lack reliability. Citing the Pentagon's assessment, Kerry rejected the finding and said that Pyongyang still hadn't developed or fully tested the nuclear capacities needed for such a step.
Speaking beside Kerry, South Korea Foreign Minister Yun Byung-se called for more United Nations action against Pyongyang if it commits another provocation.
He refused to comment specifically on the U.S. intelligence report, saying only that the North has "high nuclear and missile capabilities" but that it is still some time away from a nuclear bomb that is "small, light and diversified."
...
"They have to be really serious," Kerry said. "No one is going to talk for the sake of talking and no one is going to play this round-robin game that gets repeated every few years, which is both unnecessary and dangerous."

Sadly, if the Norks are really serious about upsetting the economic apple cart (full as it is of European, Chinese, Japanese and American rot-infested apples already tottering) then Fukushima provides the most bang for the buck.
I just hope that the Japanese Navy has the approaches of Fukushima protected as I would expect an "asymetric" attack rather than a missile borne attack...
BINGO +1
Ok if I read this correctly, Should I order a KIA or Toyota before the SHTF? Maybe I can get a deal on a slightly damaged car....
Ammunition, freeze dried foods, and physical would be smarter investments.
For the best deal you should wait for the extra safe, hipro glo model coming soon to a theatre near you.
If Nk is not careful and use nuke(s) on Tokyo, Japan may have a radiation problem going forward.untrysides....
Be nice if the US hadn't gave NK nukes to begin with. Sometimes I think there is no grand plan, it's just greed overriding stupid choices. A few assholes got rich now millions could die.
On the other hand seeing what happens to the rest of the 'axis of evil' and curious cancer cases in Cuba etc it's no wonder the midget is on edge. I would be too. Who wouldn't be?
Never underestimate the power of plausible deniability when considering what can be explained away by planned stupidity.
Just because the puppets have little to no awareness, is no reason to assume the same for the puppeteers.
Always remember the Golden Rule of Politics. It's easier to ask for forgiveness afterward than for permission in advance.
"Did I do thaaaaaaat?"
If North Korea is going to threaten us with warheads, we'll threaten to deploy John Kerry. He's already in the region and we're not afraid to drop him right on Pyongyang.
Well, that's likely up to his wife.
Maybe, sometime in the future, there will be an article from the Tylers:
Ladies & gentlemen: We got him!
"Which is worse an unreliable nuclear missile or a reliable one?"
That is the 64,000 quadrillion Bequel question, isn't it? On the one hand, you have a lot of heat and blast (maybe accompanied by a fire storm), with a majority of relatively short-lived beta-decayer daughter products. On the other, you have a hole in the ground and multiple-kilos of alpha decaying uranium and/or plutonium that will be around for millenia ( I believed refered to as "a bad day in Ottowa" during the ABM days of the cold war.)
Nobody is going to do anything. Not North Korea, and for sure not the USA, it's all bullshit. The USA will attack its own citizens before it attacks anyone else.
The Afghans, Iraqis, Pakistanis, Libyans, Syrians and ... would disagree with that statement.
Why would Kim the Jr. attack the USA, when Obama is doing it for him, and the sheeple here don't have a clue.
Roppongi redevloped would be worth a fortune
OK am I the only one who thinks this way?!?
China has a long history of war and hatred for and with Japan
China is now at dagger points with Japan over the Senkakus
Abenomics is a direct threqt to China
China does not want to attack Japan openly for fear of the International response
BUT:
China has been and to some extent and still is North Korea's Best friend.
China has much more recently tried to "publicly" distance itself from North Korea Coupled with protestations about not having the power it once had over North Korea
Does anyone really think China would'nt like to see a proxy nuke Tokyo?!? It's the ultimate "false flag attack".
Japan is eliminated as a political and economic competitor. Abenomics ends in a fireball, China "invades" North Korea after the fact to "subdue the tyrant" and coincidentaly place itself on South Koreas border.
And the Cost? Millions of Japanes dead! Just payback to Chinese eyes for Muckden, Manchuria, Nanking and the rest of WWII atrocities
It is frighteening to think about how perectly convienent this scenario looks to China's Leadership.
If you're Chinese of a certain age, you listened to stories your parents told you of the time the Imperial Japanese Army came rampaging through the province, killing everything that stood on two legs and commandeering the cattle and the rice.
Nope. It wouldn't surprise me at all. Google the "Three Alls Campaign" to get some of the gist of why the Chinese hold a grudge.

Interesting scenario.., frightening indeed. the hand uses the glove but doesnt fit the glove.....
n korea has been dealing with a.q. khan and china for ~ fifteen years +/+..., -- missles [delivery systems via china] and P-2 centrifuges [needed 5k-10k] to process fissile nuclear grade uranium for war heads-- breeder nuclear reactors for the good stuff [nasty?!] plutonium vis-a-vis china and pakistan
this is a proxy war... knowing the pent-up hatred china has for japan and pakistan's hatred of america
jmo
Luckily, we have John Kerry on the spot, "if Kim Jong Un decides to launch a missile, whether it's across the Sea of Japan or some other direction, he will be choosing willfully to ignore the entire international community,"
Right. Almost like going to war, repeatedly, without being attacked.
if nk would launch a missile at, it would be japan and no one else. no one would care about it. japan should be very worried.
Japan should build some nukes and use them.
Franken-Kerry scares me more than KimDork-Un to tell the truth!
I think the truth of the matter is, China gets Norks to nuke Japan, then US takes out Norks, but not before SK is in flames. Then Chicoms act all outraged and dump all our TBs and dollars, effectively crashing our economy! Obama will have no idea what just happened, and declare martial law, but the Chicoms will already have hacked into grid and now no power, we'd be sitting ducks...EU would collapse, and Chino-Russio reighn begins. makes one go hmmmm
Then again maybe not, and WWIII kicks off for real, then again maybe not.
Guy went to a halloween party with a condom stuck to his nose. Someone asked him what he came as.
Fuck Nose! He said...

ZH cheap sensationalism. "Japanese officials long have feared that North Korea not only has the means but several potential motives for launching an attack on Tokyo or major U.S. military installations on Japan’s main island." Do any of these officials have names? What might even one of the several motives be...apart from suicide.Tyler, why not invite Alex Jones to write.
