North Korea has put its military on high alert in response to joint military exercises being held by the US and South Korea. The North’s plans to launch a communications satellite is also raising tensions.
Japan is threatening to shoot down the satellite launch as it claims the technology can also be applied to nuclear missiles. Pyongyang says it is ready to go to war if there is any attempt to interfere.
“The possible shooting down the satellite by Japan certainly could be interpreted as an act of war”, believes Dr. Ivan Eland from the Independent Institute, a think-tank based in Washington and the author of ‘Empire Has No Close Foreign Policy Expose’.

Legacy of war in South OssetiaIt’s been seven months since the war in South Ossetia ended but humanitarian aid is still being distributed among Ossetians, as many lost almost everything they possessed. |

‘Russia has no imperial ambitions’ – GorbachevIf it were not for Russia, the USSR would still exist, and Vladimir Putin has also definitely confirmed that Russia doesn’t want to create a new empire, former president of the USSR Mikhail Gorbachev said to RT. |
Can you beleive the nerve of the North Korean's? Wanting to launch a satelite into space? Hey who do they think they are. Weaponizing space and creating weapons of mass destruction is only allowed for Nato. Don't they know this? Now I understand why they're part of the Axix of Evil. It seems to me that only America is allowed to invade, kill, torture, impoverish other nations. When other countries try to defend themselves well then they're considered evil, rogue nations. If I were looking from space it would seem to me that the world's problems originate from Nato and more specifically ( USA, UK and Israel) and the rest of the peacefull nations are trying to protect themselves. Who would ever have thought that the imperialists are the good nations? Nato, you are an insult to human intelligence.
