South Korea Tells the World Another Fairytale

[T-Rex]

SEOUL: South Korean President Lee Myung-Bak on Monday vowed a strong response to any provocations by North Korea amid concerns the communist state may soon carry out a new nuclear test.

“There will be a strong response that does not tolerate any provocations by North Korea,” Lee told a meeting of advisors on unification, according to his spokesman.

He urged Pyongyang’s new leadership to focus on improving the lives of its hunger-stricken people.

The North has threatened “sacred war” against Seoul in retaliation for perceived insults during Pyongyang’s commemoration in April of the centenary of the birth of founding leader Kim Il-Sung.

Concern is also growing that the communist regime could stage its third nuclear test following a failed rocket launch on April 13 that sparked international criticism.

South Korea’s Chosun newspaper reported Monday that the North may conduct a nuclear test in early to mid-May.

“Preparations appeared to have been completed and all it needs to do is to push the button,” an unnamed government official was quoted as saying.

New satellite images show more work under way at the North’s nuclear test site, a US-based specialist website reported Saturday.

The 38 North website carried satellite photos of the Punggye-ri site near the east coast, saying they seem to indicate that “the North Koreans are proceeding as if the test go-ahead decision has already been made.”But the imagery does not give any indication of when that detonation may take place, said the website, a project of the US-Korea Institute at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies.

It said the pictures taken by a private company on April 18 are the latest in a series showing continuing preparations for a test.

The latest imagery shows a train of mining carts on top of soil piles and random unidentified structures or objects on or near the piles, 38 North said.

ROK is making all the provocations unnecessarily (then DPRK responds). Not only verbally, but frequent military drills in the sensitive areas. why dont both sides STFU! If DPRK stages a war on ROK, barring involvement from external powers, DPRK will win!

 

[nithin]

^ that's because DPRK has spent their entire miniscule GDP oiling their war machine. On the long run DPRK is gonna collapse.

I saw in a discovery docu, how NK didn't had competent doctors to cure even a simple disease like eye cataract. Cond is really really bad.

Who cares about a doctor or teacher in war ..
All we care is about weapons and military strength which DPRK has ..

It is always ROK that incites the North by doing military drills , etc
But the international media always blames North for no reason ...

South Korea could manufacture almost anything straight from 32nm chips to cars

Why can't they manufacture nuclear weapons ??

Totally wrong. DPRK has superiority only in nuclear weapons. SK is more modern, has the industrial capability, has more modern weapons. They can easily win a conventional war.

In this play, South is the clever, North acted the fool.

this is something that you need take a deep think.

the pure reason of provocations between SK and NK is to make the US influence viable in the region. last 2 years we've seen quite a few democratic party leaders of Japan leaving from PM post, why? they are either pro-Asia cooperation advocaters, or lead to a road may hinder the US long reach in the region. the soup play in Peninsular is just the need of Aunt Samantha to keep China contained.

any conflict or stir-uped conflict in the region is in the best interest of the US to return to Asia, to Keep China in check.

you asked for a " deep think" on this subject and then suggested effectively that US is a magically unicorn that has somehow influenced the departure of several Japanese PM's exit, because it wants a pro American PM to keep war like intentions/plans on China on the front burner. That's your deep thinking you are bringing to the debate. Pray tell us, why we could not use the same magical powers, to keep Pakistan from ignoring terrorists that cross over to Afghanistan? or simply arrest the Haquuini network OR...

Now, it may be too difficult for the US minions to accept that the US wants minions all over the globe but to those who value honesty, it is the fact of this time we live in.

If hostilities break out once more, South Korea will get nothing but words of wisdom from the US. Therefore, we advise our South Korean friends to tone down its war rhetoric. If it wasn't for South Korea's slave-like attitude towards the warmongers of Washington, the North wouldn't be so hostile towards the South.

North Korea jams airliners' navigation

NORTH Korea may be jamming the global positioning systems of airliners flying into South Korea, a government official said.

A total of 252 planes flying in and out of Incheon International and Gimpo airports since April 28 have had signals jammed as of yesterday morning, the Land Ministry said.

Affected airlines included Korean Air Lines and Cathay Pacific, ministry official Yang Chang Saeng said.

''The signals are believed to be coming from North Korea and we are keeping a close watch on this, considering the current situation on the peninsula,'' said Lee Kyung Oh, an official at the Korea Communications Commission in Seoul.

North Korea threatened last month to turn South Korean President Lee Myung-bak and his government ''to ashes in three or four minutes'' using ''unprecedented peculiar means and methods''.

The regime's heightened rhetoric over the past month and its botched April 13 rocket launch has prompted speculation it will soon detonate a nuclear device.

''The North Korean philosophy has been to attack in ways that makes it hard to tell that they were behind it,'' said *** Cheol Hyun, a former National Intelligence Service agent and head of ***'s Institute of Crisis Management in Seoul.

''Signal jamming and cyber attacks have been a low-cost, high-efficiency way to provoke because you can never 100 per cent prove that they were responsible.''

Other organisations affected by the jamming are FedEx, Japan Airlines and Thai Airways, the Land Ministry said.

All flights are operating as usual as pilots are using alternative navigation systems when jams are noted, Mr Yang said. Pilots and airlines were alerted on April 28 and the Korea Communications Commission is investigating, he added.

South Korea's military equipment hasn't been affected by the jamming of signals, a Defence Ministry official told reporters yesterday in Seoul. The official refused to be identified, citing military policy.

Hmm doubtful....Without chinese help they are nothing .Rok has been steadily building their own defence industry and more prepared to sustain a long term war. They are not prepared for theatre centric battles nor the hi tech battle ...in a all out war without nuclear option they will collapse .

If hostilities break out once more, South Korea will get nothing but words of wisdom from the US. Therefore, we advise our South Korean friends to tone down its war rhetoric. If it wasn't for South Korea's slave-like attitude towards the warmongers of Washington, the North wouldn't be so hostile towards the South.

they were minion but no more . now they have emerged on their own...their per capita is one of the highest in the world and their advancements equal the west in all footing. North korea is stll stuck in the cold war era system. the only Real power they have is the Dragon lurking behind them
