I think this time it will happen. North Korea can't back down. South Korea might, but the political implication of doing so are immense. And if South Korea does back down, say bye bye to the present PM...and a new hardcore even more right wing leader will take power and then we'll have full scale war.

This ain't the usual NKorean BS. This is way more serious.


OTTAWA — This year's winter solstice — an event that will occur next Tuesday — will coincide with a full lunar eclipse in a union that hasn't been seen in 456 years.

Hopefully this isn't what is stirring up trouble...

The live fire drill might not even happen because of fog??

First rain now fog....

Maybe getting the jets in place to bomb the crap out of NK maybe preperation of sorts??

Some scientific sources are calling this anomaly "Red Dawn"?

In reality that "attack" was nothing compared to what people are saying is going to happen. It was as far as they will go and an attempt to bluff...

Just posted this on a different thread.

Reminds me of Biblical prophecy.

www.biblegateway.com...

Revelation 6 (King James Version)

12And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;

Could it be that the moon turning as blood means war? Isn't the UN's
current Secretary-General named Moon? (From Korea). Ban Ki-moon

Yeah since the elite is in some kind of screwed up cult and belief system... wouldn't surprise me if the drill is canceled for today because of ``fog`` and goes live tomorrow... the day of the eclipse.... and they will do everything so war starts tomorrow because of that eclipse.

Well ain't that nice?
China to establish permanent Senkaku patrols

China will permanently deploy large fisheries patrol vessels in waters near the disputed Senkaku Islands, a senior Chinese official told The Asahi Shimbun.

The official with the Ministry of Agriculture's Bureau of Fisheries took the unusual step of granting an interview concerning the Senkaku issue to a foreign media outlet on Saturday, saying that China was planning measures to challenge Japan's control of the islands off Okinawa Prefecture.

The official said fisheries patrol vessels of more than 1,000 tons would maintain continuous patrols near the islands, which are known as the Diaoyu Islands in China.

This is big trouble.

today and tomorrow are the same if you consider the time difference. it's almost noon in korea tomorrow, but fo me its still tonight and today.

# Tough UN Security Council action might have given Seoul political cover to postpone today's controversial military exercise near border...

I don't think s korea is going to be able to cover this to much from their people...

You can count on the people in S. korea will vote the bums out if they don't do anything....

edit on 19-12-2010 by Vitchilo because: (no reason given)

Ah yes, the FOG of war eh?

With Russia and Chinas stance on there being equal blame,there was never going to be a harmonious agreement.
It poses a serious risk to the role of the SC yet again.

The test firing is still reported to begin at 1pm local time (4am GMT)
Just over one hour then-fog permitting (or the absence of it)
