For the first time since the terror attacks that took place on September 11, 2001, the US has now set its DEFCON status to level 3.
Now with the recent escalation of activity in and around the Korean Peninsula the Pentagon announced that, “There are currently no imminent nuclear threats against the United States at this time, however the situation is considered fluid and can change rapidly.” However, the Pentagon did state that, “North Korea probably has nuclear weapons that can be mounted on ballistic missiles” raising the eyebrows of some.
Other reports show Chinese troops are now massing along the North Korean border in response to a medium range missile that was relocated last week to the East coast of North Korea. It also appears North Korea is now also planning another “test” missile launch for around the 15th of April provoking Japan to issue orders to shoot down any test missile entering or flying over Japan’s airspace.
Wikipedia: “A defense readiness condition (DEFCON) is an alert posture used by the United States Armed Forces. The DEFCON system was developed by the Joint Chiefs of Staff and unified and specified combatant commands. It prescribes five graduated levels of readiness (or states of alert) for the U.S. military, and increase in severity from DEFCON 5 (least severe) to DEFCON 1 (most severe) to match varying military situations.
DEFCONs are a subsystem of a series of Alert Conditions, or LERTCONs, that also includes Emergency Conditions (EMERGCONs). DEFCONs should not be confused with similar systems used by the U.S. military, such as Force Protection Conditions (FPCONS), Readiness Conditions (REDCONS), Information Operations Condition (INFOCON) and its future replacement Cyber Operations Condition (CYBERCON), and Watch Conditions (WATCHCONS), or the former Homeland Security Advisory System used by the United States Department of Homeland Security.”
Yelp, China at the Border, same way as in the Korean Conflict in the 50′S. they’re there to help N.Korea.
Are you really obtaining this kind of info from a credible source? This is the kind of stuff that makes people run out and buy more guns.
Sounds like one of those Bush/Cheney tactics to beef up sales.
That’s odd. I could have swor that they changed all this DEFCON stuff. I believe they changed to colors such as DEFCON orange etc. Anyways, we know China ended up aiding N.Korea during sanctions, and only placed militants at the border so that N.Koreans wouldn’t flea to China. I seriously doubt China will cause problems, atleast until they get their aircraft carriers built by 2015-2020.
Probably on the mark here, plus recovery of the three trillion odd in Treasuries they’re holding at very low interest…
China is over-populated.
The world is in recession, and the US could make $$ in arms sales, possibly?
Maybe Obama does want to be a supreme ruler?
The US doesn’t like the power-gains of China.
“Mini-Me” Kim is deranged, psychotic & paranoid.
It all looks like it could spell trouble, but keep praying…..
