The above photos are Patriot Missile Batteries in Japan. But on the Korean Peninsula, its all quiet.
Many experts are predicting that the N. Koreans will launch on Monday in conjunction with a birthday celebration for the former leaders.
I disagree. I expect the Chinese to have applied so much pressure that the N. Koreans WILL NOT launch. I expect the rhetoric on both sides to fade over the course of next week and for everyone to go back to their sides of the ring without mention from the news media of what exactly happened.
Why do I say this? Because the Obama Administration has a serious love of backroom deals. Both on the domestic and international realms. With that in mind, N. Korea probably got their usual tribute of food aid. The only difference is that this administration is hiding the fact and might use China as a conduit for that aid...you know going through China and then to N. Korea instead of directly to that jacked up country.
The problem for the US and its people is this. N. Korea proved to the world that they could back us down. They smell pussy. And that means we're eventually gonna get fucked.
