If the North wants growth then it needs to stop provoking, stop attacking and stop threatenin g with "massive retaliation" against the South. It needs to open its border, letting its people think and say what they want, and start trading and cooperating with the international community. If the North begins a series of reforms then foreign investors might engage in investments in the country, which will only benefit the North Korean people. And that is the primal responsibility of the leaders of ones country, to provide and protect its people, not to oppress them and steal from them.

Japan to acquire F-35s. Good for them. Japan is the frontline to an increasingly menacing Asia. I will sleep better when B-2s routinely fly out of Guam. The whole Idea of this propaganda is to sell more useless weapons to Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, and have more US military presence around China.
By the F35 failed in their tests. probably Japanese will reconsider wasting their money on them.

news afghanistan The US Defence Secretary Leon Panetta said Monday that the killing of US and Nato troops by Afghans are sporadic incidents. Panett a said the recent attacks do not represent a trend that should disrupt ongoing negotiation s with the Afghan government on night raids and other issues. His Monday comments come as three Nato troops were killed in two separate incidents by the Afghan forces on Monday alone. An Afghan soldier turned his weapon against Nato troops in southern Helmand province on Monday, killing two British soldiers. Later on the day, an Afghan local police killed another Nato solider in the eastern Paktika province.

North Koreans are always reported as being miserable, their leaders grumpy and paranoid. Forget all the missile stuff, perhaps they just need some decent hairdressers.

It’s time for action that speaks louder than words. It’s time for a mini cold war in the Korean Peninsula. South Korea should arm itself to the stage that North Korea would literally fear attacking it. The north will not be able to militarily compete against the south with a such a modest economy. The US should reiterate that  hostile use of nuclear weapon by the north will result in full nuclear retaliation by the US. This statement alone will de-fang the north’s nuclear threats. The north only understands military speak. Weakness by the US and neighbors thus far has embolden the north.

 Barack Obama, leading the effort to curb the launch, has warned the US might review the freshly stricken food aid agreement, as Pyongyang’s nuclear and missile moratoriums were part of that deal. ------------- -------------------- -------------------- -------------------- ------ Us might stricken food aid agreement!! What is all of this bs is Obama thinks is dealing with children? Ok, if you don't agree to my requests I will stop any food aid!! What a Nobel Peace man and president of the 21st century. Ohh, we forgot that everything must obey the evil goals--no one to be obove USirael zionists or even equal to them, why? because they need to reach the satanic goal to destroy the world and provoke God with new order government and to put on every human being the chip or the mark of the beast. NO TO SATANIC MARKS ONLY ACCEPT YOUR CREATOR GOD MANIFESTED IN JESUS

How ironic indeed, even Obama, the Nobel "Peace" Prized presient, could not understand that with threats nothing works there. With this he only damages his image...

...Japan is the Nuclear threat...it can't even manage a nuclear power plant safely...it does nothing but lie and cover up and posion its own people...what about all that nuclear poisoned water used to cool those rods from Fukishema?...for a country that regularly has earthquakes it has mismanaged and allowed its' nuclear power plants to age and operate unsafely for decades....Japan should be required to pay reparations to all nations that border the Pacific ocean that must now deal with the astronomic land waste moving across the ocean towards North America killing and polluting the environment for hundreds of years...

That fat boy, Billy-bunter calling himself the ruler of this country where the people are like robots and living as 50 years in the past! They are looking for trouble and they are playing with the lions b0lls. China is the problem here giving them the missile technology! Those countries must be very aware of Japan. Japan is, was and always be a mighty power! Their country might be small but they are very powerfull. If they change over to military....oh beware pyong tjong!!!
