North Korea announced plans to restart its main
Yongbyon nuclear complex which was the source
for plutonium for North Korea's nuclear weapons
programme that was closed in July 2007 as part
of a disarmament-for-aid deal.

Who's Provoking Whom
???
Commentators in South Korea, China and Russia
are sure that North Korea's military posturing is
not the prelude to an attack, but many fear that
miscalculation or over-reaction could lead to conflict.

North Korean video shows imagined strikes on U.S.
A screen grab of a North Korean propaganda video that includes animation of
four nuclear strikes against the United States. U.S. government officials say
North Korean missiles do not have the capability of reaching the United
States. / Uriminzokkiri
A video released by Saturday by North Korea shows nuclear launches against
the United States reaching four sites, including Washington, D.C., California,
Hawaii and what the announcer describes as Colorado Springs, but which
looks like Arkansas. U.S. officials were clear they did not believe the belli-
gerent nation has missiles capable of reaching the United States.
The video was released Saturday on Uriminzokkiri, a North Korean govern-
ment web site. It has also been posted on YouTube.
In it, each of the U.S. targets explodes into a ball of flames as the missiles
strike on the map. The Colorado Springs attack is presumably because the
North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) is located near there,
as well as the U.S. Air Force Academy. However based on the map the North
Koreans posted, the attack site is actually in either southern Arkansas or
northern Louisiana.

Louisiana for Colorado Springs

Amid the simmering pot of tensions on the Korean peninsula, Kim Jong-Un and co. releeasd a propaganda video Friday that shows four U.S. cities in the crosshairs of North Korean nuclear missiles that have yet to be tested. In the process of trying to drum up nationalism/fear, North Korea has, according to the Washington Post, committed a first: mistaking Colorado Springs for Louisiana.
The second target identified by the video's words is Colorado Springs, Colo., but the location on the map is off by about 1,000 miles. The actual depicted target is somewhere in the vicinity of Shreveport, says WaPo.
The other targets listed in the video are Washington, D.C., Honolulu and Los Angeles.
The missiles that would theoretically be used for such an attack are known as the KN-08. According to GlobalSecurity.org, the missiles have yet to be tested in the air, proven to be able to hit the U.S., or even to be able to hit a specific target.

North Korea Displays Military Might
28 July 2013
North Korea has staged a huge show of military strength to mark the 60th anniversary of the armistice that ended the Korean War.
Sky News was granted rare access as the regime put on a painstakingly choreographed parade intended to rally the people behind their young ruler Kim Jong-Un.
A sea of spectators watched as goose-stepping soldiers, columns of tanks and a range of ominous-looking missiles poised on mobile launchers paraded through Pyongyang's main square.
North Korea's leader Kim Jong-Un saluted his troops and waved from a review stand flanked by senior military officials.
As fighter jets screamed overhead, a relaxed looking Kim - who did not make a speech - smiled and talked with China's vice president Li Yuanchao.
China fought with North Korea during the war and is Pyongyang's only major ally and a crucial source of economic aid.
The parade was held to mark a holiday the North Koreans call "Victory Day in the Fatherland Liberation War," although the 1950-53 Korean War ended in a truce and the Korean Peninsula remains technically at war.

Monica Lewinsky's sexy tape to Bill Clinton unearthed after 15 years
The racy recording was thought to have been destroyed many years ago. But the National Enquirer said it recently obtained a copy of the November 1997 tape, in which the infamous intern is heard trying to persuade the former president to meet with her.
Monica Lewinsky, in a never-before-heard audio tape recorded before her affair with former President Bill Clinton made headlines, attempts to seduce him by promising to take her “clothes off,” it was reported Wednesday.
In the recording, which was made after the one-time White House intern had already hooked up with Clinton numerous times — but before the scandal broke — Lewinsky was incredibly accommodating as she tried to talk the 42nd President into a quickie.
She said they could rendezvous for 15 minutes, 30 minutes, whatever worked for him — and they could arrange it so word wouldn’t get out.
'I could take my clothes off and start ... I hope to see you later and I hope you will follow my script and do what I want,' Monica Lewinksy says on a racy tape she recorded for former President Bill Clinton during their affair, according to a report by Radar Online.
The racy audio recording was thought to have been destroyed many years ago — but it emerged Wednesday like a ghost from Bubba’s past. It couldn’t have been good news for Hillary Clinton, who has long been considered the front-runner for the Democratic nomination if she runs for the presidency in 2016.
The National Enquirer says it recently obtained a secret copy of the tape. The copy was surreptitiously made by someone hired as a cleaner by people close to Lewinsky, the tabloid reported.
On Aug. 17, 1998, then-President Bill Clinton responds to a question concerning his discussion with secretary Betty Currie about whether his door was open when he was alone with Monica Lewinsky.
The infamous intern made the three-minute, 47-second audio tape in November 1997 — months after the last of her nine alleged encounters with Clinton in March 1997. The scandal broke in January 1998. She addressed the recording to “Handsome,” according to an account published by Radar Online.
Lewinsky is heard trying to persuade Clinton to meet with her, seemingly desperate for another go. “I could take my clothes off and start. . . . I hope to see you later and I hope you will follow my script and do what I want,” Lewinsky says on tape, according to the unconfirmed report.
AP
This official White House photo of Monica Lewinsky and Bill Clinton, taken Nov. 17, 1995, was included in Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr's report on the ex-POTUS.
The intern, whose relationship with Clinton led to his impeachment, ordered her powerful paramour to set up a rendezvous and cover it up with help from his secretary, the National Enquirer maintains. Lewinsky, now 40, told Clinton to make his secretary, Betty Currie, a co-conspirator. She was working at the Pentagon at the time the recording was made.
“Now the first thing that has to happen is that you need to preplan with Betty that you will leave the office at, I don’t know, at 7, 7:30, so that everyone else who hates me that causes me lots of trouble goes home,” she reportedly says on the tape.
Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton's candidacy for president could be harmed by the discovery of an audiotape on which Monica Lewinsky purportedly tries to seduce Clinton's husband, ex-President Bill Clinton, the National Enquirer says.
“Then you quickly sneak back and then in the meantime I quickly sneak over and then we can have a nice little visit for, you know, 15 minutes or half an hour,” the hot-to-trot Lewinsky proposes. “Whatever you want.”
The trick was to arrange the visit without making a formal record of it. “That way we don’t have to deal with the problem of me . . . of there being a record of me going upstairs and we can spend some time together,” Lewinsky supposedly says.
The twenty-something who became a national punch line after her trysts with Clinton were exposed was also reportedly heard on the tape whining that a previous “60 seconds” she spent with the horny prez “was just not enough, even though you did look handsome.”
Shown in an October 1999 photo, former President Bill Clinton casts his eyes downward after defending assertions that the Monica Lewinsky scandal had hurt Al Gore's candidacy for the presidency — the way a reported new audiotape of Lewinsky trying to seduce the ex-president could harm Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential chances.
Lewinsky, sounding like a schoolgirl, suggests that she and Clinton catch a flick — as if such a simple date would be possible with the married leader of the free world. “Maybe we could go over and watch a movie together and just have kind of, I don’t know, boxed dinners or something like that,” she suggests.
The recording showed Lewinsky wasn’t going to take no for an answer, though it wasn’t clear if the hookup she was seeking actually occurred. “You can’t refuse me because I’m too cute and adorable and soon I won’t be here anymore to pop over,” she tells Clinton.
Lewinsky played the cassette recording for Linda Tripp — the woman who later leaked word of the affair — and then had it delivered to the Oval Office the next day, according to the National Enquirer. The Clintons thought the tape and other evidence, such as love letters from Lewinsky, had been destroyed. But the cleaner kept the material private for 15 years.

North Korea Submarine Missile Footage Isn't Real, U.S. Admiral Says
North Korea, heavily sanctioned by the United States and United Nations for its missile and nuclear tests, said on May 9 it had successfully conducted an underwater test-fire of a submarine-launched ballistic missile. If true, it would indicate progress in its pursuit of building missile-equipped submarines.
On Wednesday, the North warned Washington not to challenge its sovereign right to boost military deterrence and boasted of its ability to miniaturize nuclear warheads, a claim it has made before and which has been widely questioned by experts and never verified.

An image obtained by Yonhap News Agency showing North Korean leader Kim Jong Un pointing at a ballistic missile his military claimed to have launched from underwater on May 9.
But Pyongyang is still "many years" from developing submarine-launched ballistic missiles, U.S. Admiral James Winnefeld told an audience at the Centre for Strategic & International Studies in Washington on Tuesday.
"They have not gotten as far as their clever video editors and spinmeisters would have us believe," said Winnefeld, who is vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Analysis seen by Reuters from German aerospace engineers Markus Schiller and Robert Schmucker of Schmucker Technologie appeared to support Winnefeld's statement.
The Munich-based pair said photos of the launch were "strongly modified," including reflections of the missile exhaust flame in the water which did not line up with the missile itself.

An image released by North Korea's Rodong Shinmun shows what Pyongyang claimed to be a ballistic missile being launched from a submarine in waters near the northeast coast of Sinpo on May 9.
North Korea, which regularly threatens to destroy the United States, had a track record of offering faked proof to claim significant advances in missile technology, Schiller and Schmucker said, such as poorly built mockups of missiles on display at military parades in 2012 and 2013.
A photo on state TV showed a missile high in the sky leaving a trail of white smoke, whereas other photos from state media showed no white smoke, suggesting the two photos were of different missiles with different propulsion systems, Schiller and Schmucker said.

N. Korean submarine missing: reports
© (AP Photo/Wong Maye-E) In this Saturday, Oct. 10, 2015, photo, North Korean sailors march in a military
Parade to mark the 70th anniversary of North Korea's ruling party celebrations in Pyongyang, North Korea.
A North Korean submarine is missing, reports said Saturday, as the reclusive state issued a fresh threat of retaliation against US and South Korean forces involved in joint military drills.
The unknown class of vessel had been reportedly operating off the North Korean coast earlier in the week when it disappeared.
A South Korean defence ministry told AFP Seoul was investigating the reports. Pentagon officials declined to comment on the matter.
The US military had been observing the submarine off the North's eastern coast, CNN said, citing three US officials familiar with the incident.
American spy satellites, aircraft and ships have been watching as the North Korean navy searched for the missing sub, the report added.
The US is unsure if the missing vessel is adrift or whether it has sunk, CNN reported, but officials believe it suffered a failure during an exercise.
The US Naval Institute (USNI) News said the submarine was presumed sunk.
"The speculation is that it sank", an unidentified US official was quoted as telling the USNI News.
"The North Koreans have not made an attempt to indicate there is something wrong or that they require help or some type of assistance."
The incident comes as tensions were further heightened on the Korean peninsular by a fresh threat from Pyongyang.
The official KCNA news agency, citing a statement from military chiefs, warned of a "pre-emptive retaliatory strike at the enemy groups" involved in the joint US-South Korean drill.
Pyongyang added it planned to respond to the drills with an "operation to liberate the whole of South Korea including Seoul" with an "ultra-precision blitzkrieg".
Responding to the statement, South Korea's defence ministry urged Pyongyang to stop making threats or further provocations, according to Yonhap news agency.
North Korea's navy operates a fleet of some 70 submarines, most of them being rusting diesel submarines that are capable of little more than coastal defence and limited offensive capabilities.
But the old, low-tech submarines still pose substantial threats to South Korean vessels.
In 2010, a South Korean corvette was reportedly torpedoed by a North Korean submarine near their sea border.
In August last year, Seoul said said 70 percent of the North's total submarine fleet -- or around 50 vessels -- had left their bases and disappeared from South's military radar, sparking alarm.

- Trump says ‘Can’t Imagine Russia Is Pleased’ With North Korea Missile
On Sunday, May 14, 2017: North Korea fired a ballistic missile from a region near its west coast.
U.S. President Donald Trump “cannot imagine Russia is pleased” with North Korea’s latest missile test on Sunday, as it landed closer to Russia than to Japan, the White House said in a statement.
“With the missile impacting so close to Russian soil – in fact, closer to Russia than to Japan – the President cannot imagine that Russia is pleased,” the White House said in its statement.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said Monday that North Korea's latest missile test was "dangerous", but he warned that Pyongyang was being intimidated and called for a peaceful solution to regional tensions.
"We consider (the missile test) counter-productive, harmful and dangerous," Putin said.
But, he added: "We must stop intimidating North Korea and find a peaceful solution to this problem."

US watched North Korea prepare for ICBM launch
Fox News
July 05, 2017
Pentagon saw preps for North Korea ICBM launch in advance
U.S. officials watched North Korea prepare for the Tuesday launch of its first successful intercontinental ballistic missile, a well-placed senior U.S. official told Fox News – however, no anti-missile defense systems appear to have been activated to shoot down the rocket.
The U.S. had watched North Korea fueling the rocket prior to launch, the official said.
"Clearly we watch North Korea very closely," Pentagon spokesman Capt. Jeff Davis said.
The July 7 Missile Test: Estimated max range: 4,160 mi
Distance to →
Distance to →
Guam: 2,000 mi
Alaska: 3,000 mi
Hawaii: 4,660 mi
U.S. mainland: 4,800 mi
Alaska: 3,000 mi
Hawaii: 4,660 mi
U.S. mainland: 4,800 mi
The missile fired on Tuesday is a new type of North Korean ICBM, which has yet to be named. It uses liquid fuel – meaning the rocket takes more time to move and is less mobile than a missile that operates on solid fuel.

‘Self-Restraint’ Is Only Thing Stopping War
With North Korea, U.S. General Says
SEOUL, South Korea — “Self-restraint” is all that is keeping the United States and South Korea from going to war with the North, the top American general in South Korea said on Wednesday. His comment came as the South’s defense minister indicated that the North’s first intercontinental ballistic missile had the potential to reach Hawaii.
The unusually blunt warning, from Gen. Vincent K. Brooks, the commander of American troops based in Seoul, came a day after North Korea said it successfully tested the Hwasong-14, its first intercontinental ballistic missile.
Washington and its allies confirmed that the weapon was an ICBM and condemned the test as a violation of United Nations resolutions and a dangerous escalation of tensions.
“Self-restraint, which is a choice, is all that separates armistice and war,”
said General Brooks, referring to the 1953 cease-fire that halted but
never officially ended the Korean War. “As this alliance missile live-fire
shows, we are able to change our choice when so ordered by our alliance
national leaders.

Even if they don't have ICBM, they can put one near the DMZ, ground based bomb, the blast radius will kill all the military assets/personnel near the border. A nuclear roadside bomb except many megatons causing heavy casualties.
This is the final conclusion of deranged white supremacist thought where countries are pushed to develop this technology to defend themselves.
Instead of cramming a failed capitalist system onto people and eliminating Communism from the face of the Earth, they should have carved out an area for a communist/socialist government under a unified government. I might write a book about why Communist system fail and what can be done to improve them.

2 US Air Force B-1 bombers fly near North Korean border in show of force
Published July 08, 2017
Fox News
Two U.S. Air Force B-1 bombers on Saturday flew near the Korean Demilitarized Zone in a show of force just days after North Korea conducted the first successful test of an intercontinental ballistic missile that can hit Alaska.
The two B-1 bombers flew 2,000 miles from Anderson Air Force Base in Guam to conduct a precision strike training exercise with South Korean fighter jets. The bombers were also joined by Japanese fighters during their flight.
The Air Force, in a statement, called the mission a "demonstration of the ironclad U.S. commitment to our allies."
The bombers, which can carry 84 500-pound bombs, fired releasing inert weapons at the Pilsung Range. The mission took 10 hours, according to the statement.
"North Korea's actions are a threat to our allies, partners and homeland," Gen. Terrence O' Shaughnessy, the Pacific Air Forces commander, said. "Let me be clear, if called upon we are trained, equipped and ready to unleash the full lethal capability of our allied air forces."

US Air Force B-1 bombers fly near NKorea in show of force
North Korean state media sharply criticized the U.S. on Sunday for a recent practice bombing run on the Korean peninsula, calling it a dangerous move raising the risk of nuclear war.
A commentary in the ruling party’s Rodong Sinmun newspaper accused the U.S. of “reckless military provocations” after two U.S. Air Force B-1B bombers released inert weapons on Saturday in a training session in South Korea.
Sunday’s comments were reported in English by the state Korean Central News Agency; the news agency said that the recent drill increased the threat of a nuclear war.
SIMULATED ATTACK ON NORTH KOREA
The drill on Saturday was a show of force that came just days after North Korea conducted the first successful test of an intercontinental ballistic missile that can hit Alaska.
The two B-1 bombers flew 2,000 miles from Anderson Air Force Base in Guam to conduct a precision strike training exercise with South Korean fighter jets. The bombers were also joined by Japanese fighters during their flight.
Amid heightened tensions with North Korea, the U.S. will [also] conduct a flight test of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD), an element of the nation’s ballistic missile defense system, Fox News has learned. The test, which will be conducted by the Missile Defense Agency (MDA), is scheduled to take place this month.

Guam is not the only island within striking distance of North Korea. Another potential target within range could be Hawaii. CNN's Sara Sidner takes us inside a bunker there that houses the Emergency Operating Center's state warning point. http://cnn.it/2vLrjpp
North Korea's military is "examining the operational plan" to strike areas around Guam with medium-to-long-range strategic ballistic missiles, state-run news agency KCNA http://cnn.it/2frwLrk
President Donald J. Trump said if North Korea escalates nuclear threats against the U.S., "they will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen."

"The great leaders I've seen don't threaten unless they're ready to act and I'm not sure President Trump is ready to act." Sen. John McCain said in a radio interview that he takes exception to President Donald J. Trump's comments.
This tells you everything you need to know about those who support Trump's reckless war-mongering against the innocent people of North Korea.
