By the Government of Japan, in response to North Korea's threat earlier today to treat 'severe sanctions' as a defacto 'declaration of war'.

Wouldn't a Korean stick out almost as bad as Gaijin?

"There's almost zero Air-Force assets being used in Iraq right now.

That's true. I'd imagine any action against North Korea or even Iran would be mainly from the air. The only ground forces we may send would certainly be special forces.

If we were them, we would do the same.

I only hope.

You said -- "NUCLEAR WEAPONS"

When did Japan become a member of the nuclear club. I would think that they are prevented from joining that club by the non-proliferation treaty. Of course, that doesn't (apparently) pertain to Pakistan, Iran or North Korea (of course).

But, then again, like I said before -- wasn't that *exactly* what China was endeavoring to prevent, by "reeling in" North Korea. But, then again, maybe China doesn't have such "good control" over them...

I must have misunderstood your question because they do not have nuclear weapons for the moment. I thought you were asking what China is trying to prevent concerning the Japanese military. The answer to that question is nuclear weapons.

657khz is not a number station per say. it is the strong watt broadcast of Radio Pyongyang with regular programming all day. However, it plays the numbers just after the station ID, usually starting around 5 minutes after midnight Japan Time daily. The DPRK bitch who reads them out to the spies in Japan goes on for about four or five minutes. There is a site on the internet; somebody in Japan once recorded it and audio streams it online

Iraq is probably the one country the US could most easily invade and occupy after afghanistan

On the other hand, think of where we'd be today with Kimmy going nuts and still having Saddam active over there.

You can say that NoKor is taking the advantage of us being in Iraq to wreak mischief.....but then you could also guess that had the USA gone hard after Kimmy instead of Iraq- that Saddam might've stepped up his meddling in Palestine/Israel, or who knows what over there.

As Billy Joel said, "We didn't start the fire..."

If they'd had the chance to talk to Jwadeh at Indiana University (he passed on before the occupation) I think he'd let them know that we'd have to be much more brutal than we planned to get it fully under control.

Did you know most adult Iraqis have teeth ground down from eating bread made from stone ground flour? Gotta' have an impact on their attitude.

From your response we can guess you understand spoken Korean, right?

And you picked that up in the Army when they trained you to monitor the North.

You have since retied to a civilian job in Japan that pays well and may involve your listening in on NK broadcasts ~ or not ~ just something you do to keep up on the accent.

"Bouncing the rubble" I think they call it!

I'm afraid that after North Korea is freed that Seoul will be shelled into looking like North Korea, and, well, the USAF will put North Korea into Stone Age minus one.

Or better yet, for the linguist freepers here, say the following three, in their Japanese equivalents, one after the other, quickly:

Evening. This Morning. Every Morning.

Hopefully you are not drinking milk and leaning over the keyboard at the same time.

Re #4

So this is what N. Koreans meant by 'physical response' ?

Oh man, everyone in TYO knows about 657khz. English teachers, missionaries, businesspeople, students. It is a funny discussion over a few beers at an akachochin.

?

WIth a gazillion Japanese who can pass for Korean, and vice versa, (for a variety of reasons going back millenia), not sure that question is meaningful.

Modern Koreans probably have a bit more Tibetan in their lines than the Japanese, and less Jomon, but they both have a touch of Hakka, and unless you have the really flat Moon face look, that's a pretty dominant "face" in both countries ~ except among the Emishi and Ainu.

Hard to stick out in that crowd!

Boils down to our being in Iraq is to keep tempers in check in the oil producing world and to keep the islamonuts from shutting down the 21st Century. Economically, defensively,...
