China would love ground invasion of DPRK and massive US presense in Korea on it's border.

I'm of the thought that China will come south to control a "buffer zone".

Trump BANS US flights from North Korea airspace after MISSILE almost hits passenger plane.

http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/...dent-USA-Japan

Quote:
The decision comes after the hermit kingdom fired a missile on July 28 that came close to a plane carrying 323 passengers on board.
First time I've heard of it being called a 'hermit kingdom'

The term hermit kingdom can be used to refer to any country, organization or society which willfully walls itself off, either metaphorically or physically, from the rest of the world - but is particularly associated with North Korea.
Korea in the age of Joseon dynasty was the subject of the first use of the term, in William Elliot Griffis' 1882 book Corea: The Hermit Nation, and Korea was frequently described as a hermit kingdom until 1905 when it became a protectorate of Japan. The term is still commonplace throughout Korea and it is often used by Koreans themselves to describe pre-modern Korea. Today, the term is often applied to North Korea in news media, and in 2009 it was used by United States former Secretary of StateHillary Clinton.

I keep thinking of those articles that warn of the disaster that would follow the sinking of a US carrier and there are three of them out there! I don't have a lot of faith in the US Navy's ability to protect these assets after all the ship collisions they've had lately.

Me neither but it would appear to have shut Kim up somewhat whilst Trump is on tour.

Default North Korea defector who crossed DMZ 'was shot five times'

Quote:
A North Korean who defected at the heavily guarded Demilitarised Zone was shot at least five times and is in a critical condition, South Korea says.
The soldier crossed to the South Korean side of the Joint Security Area (JSA) in the village of Panmunjom on Monday.
He had driven near the JSA, but had to finish his journey by foot when a wheel came loose, the South said.
North Korean troops shot at him 40 times - but he made it across and was found under a pile of leaves, it added.
