The attack was nothing but a Chinese plot to create a scene in connection with the military exercises. It had nothing to do with North Korea.
Expats recalled as North Korea prepares for war
A mass exodus of North Korean workers from the Far East of Russia is under way, according to reports coming out of the region. As the two Koreas edged towards the brink of war this week, it appears that the workers in Russia have been called back to aid potential military operations.
Vladnews agency, based in Vladivostok, reported that North Korean workers had left the town of Nakhodka en masse shortly after the escalation of tension on the Korean peninsula earlier this week. "Traders have left the kiosks and markets, workers have abandoned building sites, and North Korean secret service employees working in the region have joined them and left," the agency reported.
Russia's migration service said that there were over 20,000 North Koreans in Russia at the beginning of 2010, of which the vast majority worked in construction. The workers are usually chaperoned by agents from Kim Jong-il's security services and have little contact with the world around them. Defectors have suggested that the labourers work 13-hour days and that most of their pay is sent back to the government in Pyongyang. Hundreds of workers have fled the harsh conditions and live in hiding in Russia, constantly in fear of being deported back to North Korea.
I guess we’ll finally see how much of US China owns.
Japan On Alert Over N Korea Developments
TOKYO (Kyodo)--All members of Prime Minister Naoto Kan's Cabinet were on alert Saturday for developments in North Korea prior to a four-day joint military drill to be conducted by South Korea and the United States in the Yellow Sea from Sunday.
Cabinet members have been ordered by Kan to stay in Tokyo until Wednesday and be at their ministry offices within an hour in the event emergency situations develop.
What will happen though, is that as China grows in economic and military strength in each passing year, she will grow bolder in her vocal opposition to US military presence in waters in and around the Chinese coastline.
China will dominate the Pacific Ocean around Asia within the next 20-30 years relegating the US to a secondary role. And this will be done without either side firing a shot.
In the end, despite all the postings here, we all know the tensions on the Korean peninsula will eventually fade, and business between China and the rest of the world will resume. And China will continue to ascend in economic and military power until a future generation of Americans accepts the fact that China is the leading power of waters in her sphere of influence.
Hey China!
Click on pic for past Navair pings.
Post or FReepmail me if you wish to be enlisted in or discharged from the Navair Pinglist.
The only requirement for inclusion in the Navair Pinglist is an interest in Naval Aviation.
This is a medium to low volume pinglist.
Just for that we should now send another Carrier group say the USS Nimitz.
Axlerod and zero would love to see the carrier named after the greatest American Founder in flames.
Don’t rule out choreography.
Well its a good thing our president vowed not to retaliate should we be nuked.... feel so much safer already.
