REVEALING their pre-conflict intelligence triggers for an NK strike against SK are always welcome.<br /><br />As you are Korean(?) I'm (almost) certain you applaud the victory of South Korean tennis player Hyeon Chung [1], [2] in the quarter finals of Australian Open tennis less than an hour ago.<br /><br />The rise, in the last few years of Chinese [3], Japanese [4] and now Korean players in top tennis is impressive. <br /><br />[1] https://www.express.co.uk/sport/tennis/909059/Australian-Open-2018-Hyeon-Chung-Tennys-Sandgren-semi-final-Roger-Federer<br /><br />[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chung_Hyeon<br /><br />[3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Li_Na<br /><br />[4] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kei_Nishikori<br /><br />Regards<br /><br />PetePetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02624742078679760819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19245896.post-34493924999606823502018-01-24T11:55:40.028+11:002018-01-24T11:55:40.028+11:00I am going to assume ( as in 'assumption is th...I am going to assume ( as in 'assumption is the mother of a disasters')that if we and dupree notice a sudden departure of Westerns from SK, the US will soon bomb NK after the main cadre of US civilians have left ,will anyone see a slow slow departure going unnoticed by NK intel operating in the South. <br />I can't see this going unnoticed, and NK will be on full alert status , fully prepped for an onslaught of incoming , way before the strike occurs .

China, Japan and USA annoy SK’s behavior, i.e., deployment of THAADs, review of agreement on confort women issue and conciliatory attitude on NK, respectively.<br /><br />Recentry, SK refused entry of the Virgina-class nto Busan port making US angry [1], and the Virginia-class entered into Sasebo port in Japan [2].<br /><br /><br />[1]http://www.chosunonline.com/site/data/html_dir/2018/01/18/2018011800613.html<br />The writer confused the Virginia-class with USS Virginia (SSN-774) whose homeport is Groton, Connecticut.<br /><br />[2] https://japan.stripes.com/base-info/uss-texas-visits-sasebo-during-indo-asia-pacific-deployment<br />SASEBO, Japan (NNS) -- The Virginia-class attack submarine USS Texas (SSN 775), arrived at Fleet Activities Sasebo, Jan. 17 for a visit as part of its deployment to the Indo-Asia-Pacific region.<br /><br />Regards<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
