I served two tours on the DMZ in South Korea during the 1990s. Every year at this time Operation Team Spirit is held which is a military exercise that prepare allied forces to defend S. Korea from an attack by the north. During the preparation phase/build up to the exercise North Korea claims that the U.S./South Korea is preparing to invade them and starts rattling their sabers and issuing threats. This happens every single year.

[@jyy9624]

Except when US is trying to show good will by suspending the exercises, which doesn't seem to work like all else. I served in the active component of a reserve division that participated in TS but during one of those periods

[@jyy9624]

Thank you for your service

[@ewlong1031]

@jyy9624 Many times, they don't actually suspend the Team Spirit exercise they just break it into two smaller exercises and rename them. We went from participating in Team Spirit my first year to Operation Iron Focus my second year there. It was exactly the same, but we got a few days off in the middle instead of being cold and wet for all 45 days.

China actually fears NK nuclear weapons, as any use on the Korean peninsula will, at a bare minimum, affect Chinese fishing fleets. Fall out is bound to hit Eastern China. Since PRC propaganda highlighted last year's release of wastewater from Fukushima (which Chinese scientists signed off on, as the risk is really low) a lot of Chinese citizens bought Geiger counters to test their fish for contamination. What they discovered was that their homes were made with radioactive materials and their rivers were also radioactive. So now China has a bunch of citizens who can test for radiation independently from the official propaganda. Thus any use of nuclear weapons on the Korean peninsula will set off a panic, no matter how the government spins it.

[@computernerd8157]

If China so concerned they should encourage North to Disarm. China will protect the North from a USA Invasion like they did in the past. Honestly, I dont think China worried, I believe they even aided the North to create better missle systems.

Incursions into South Korea from the North have been common since the armistice. When I was there between 1995 and 1997 (U.S. 8th Army), there was an average of 1 infiltrator identified every other day and small skirmishes on the DMZ about once per week. By skirmishes, mean brief episodes of a little shooting back and forth and maybe a mortar round or two. Usually, nobody got hurt. Sometimes, though, it was substantially more. It is policy to hide and downplay these events, in support of the mission. I have personal experience with this when we tried to get medals for a number of 2nd Infantry Division soldiers after a pitched battle, one time. Gen. Timmons (Under Gen. Gary Luck at the time) specifically denied them on the basis of supporting the mission in Korea--maintaining the free flow of commerce. Such things have impacts on markets.

Japan's military isn't going to make a huge difference especially considering their constitution prohibits them from waging an offensive war. Meaning they are to be useless unless for some reason China decides to fight them. EVEN if the Chinese decides to attack the Japanese first, Japan is going to get the worst end of the stick as their economy is not going to be able to outlast the Chinese economy. That's why I say that Japan's military isn't their most important weapon. It doesn't matter if they have the 4th largest navy or whatnot because what's the point in having that when you can't even use it nor outlast your enemy. The US is going to have to pick up the slack for the Japanese. However, what Japan makes up for is their strategic geography, THAT is far more important to the US than another navy which the US is currently already the best at.

Because while the "Western world" or rather the democratic world recognizes human life, human values and rights, this is not the case for these terrorist or dictatorial states, and of course they know this and use it to their advantage. The fact that nuclear weapons have fallen into the hands of such states at all is a disaster in itself.

My question is, banned weapons are stacked by military powers to be used in a possible world war? Considering how ugly it could be military crimes might not be judged right? It's not just nuclear weapons but types of mines, missiles, gases and napalm?

They've been quickly preparing for war since the end of the last one (1953). I was stationed there from 1981-1983. I believe one of their special forces operators was killed every month probing the shoreline while I was there. Reunification on their terms is their diehard goal.

If "wars and rumors of wars" isn't now, when is it?

[@MountainFisher]

Oh prior to both World Wars? Problem with what Jesus was talking about was _Who_ He was talking to. He was talking to the generation then alive. He kept repeating when YOU see these things then You get out of Jerusalem. He didn't say They to imply us. The generation then alive saw everything He predicted in Old Testament Apocalyptic language and His disciples who were Jewish would have recognized it as such. Daniel's 70th week occurred in the first century, it is not separated from the other 69 weeks of years. 3 1/2 years of Jesus ministry to Israel and in the middle of the week Jesus' sacrifice on the Cross put an end to the Temple sacrifices signified by the tearing of the Veil from the top to the bottom as recorded in priestly writings of the time and by Matthew. It also says that desolations would be determined and the very last words Jesus said to the scribes and Pharisees was, “Look, your house is left to you desolate” and later the Jewish crowd demanding the crucifixion of Jesus declared, "His blood be on us and on our children!" (Matthew 27:25). While Pilate was trying to release Jesus. The second half of the 70th week was the ministry of the Apostles to Israel until Peter received his unclean to clean vision and took the Gospel to the Gentiles. Now only a remnant of the Jews enter the Kingdom. It's pretty bad when Jews think Isaiah 53 is from the New Testament. Jesus was speaking to that generation then alive and that has been the standard interpretation until John Darby came along and destroyed a pretty straightforward and easy to understand interpretation with his Dispensational pre-trib rapture nonsense.That generation had not passed away when Vespasian and his son Titus with the Roman Army destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple. Jesus did return in vengeance upon Jerusalem and destroyed the Temple leaving not one stone upon another. There isn't going to be a 3rd Temple nor a 7 year tribulation. There have always been wars and rumors of wars, nothing new about that.

[@Webstral]

Good work, as always. You identified the dream scenario for Kim: a Sino-American conflict over Taiwan. That's the best situation Kim will get, barring any other unforeseen development that dramatically alters the strategic situation for the US. Whether this situation is good enough remains to be seen. However, the acquisition of a large and serviceable nuclear arsenal on the part of Pyongyang limits the ability of the US to compensate for a shortfall in conventional capability with nuclear threats. RUMINT has it that back in the days of Desert Shield, the movement of XVIII ABN Corps to the Gulf prompted a flurry of military activity in North Korea. President GW Bush sent a leader-to-leader message acknowledging the temporary US vulnerability but promising nuclear action if North Korean forces crossed the DMZ. This would help explain the North Korean nuclear program culminating in a successful test less than 10 years later. Pyongyang wasn't going to miss another such opportunity. How the US would react to North Korean nuclear saber rattling in the midst of a conventional war against the ROK is unknown. A great deal depends on who is in the White House at the moment. That didn't used to be the case. Now we live in a world in which it is hard to say how the next POTUS might react to a situation in which China and North Korea were pressing conventional operations in the Far East under their respective nuclear shields.

Korea had in the past a high number of fellow Koreans as slaves. These slaves had family names that were distinctive. During a Japanese invasion the records of citizens were burned (by the Koreans) and many people took a name of a famous Korean king. Why Kim became so popular in particular I don't know.

Another aspect of this is Russia and NK are cooperating on building infrastructure in Siberia. Russia needs civil engineers, skilled labor, and unskilled labor.

One other aspect to this is that South Korean has become a arms manufacturer which can scale. Where American companies seem to be labour constrained, the South Koreans are taking the "stuff it, go for volume and speed of production and innovation" that has seen then win in the whitegoods, vehicle and technology markets. The USA is about to loose it's status as the world's arms supplier of choice if it doesn't watch out.
