The nature and seriousness of North Korea's threat to Australia is not widely appreciated : Comments

By Brendan O'Reilly, published 11/8/2017

We are highly vulnerable to either a trade war involving the US and China, or to disruptions caused by a military conflict in our export markets.

There is a long list of criminal acts in other countries by the US with aims of benefitting its own corporations , banksters and military industrial complex. Re the head criminals, have seen a comment that if the standards of the Nuremburg Trials were applied to US Presidents since WW2 at the end of their terms of office, every one would have been hanged. Re JFK who was assassinated,, he was trying to stop a lot of the rot going on. Supposedly killed on sole initiative of a deranged "lone nut gunman". In fact, lots of details combined indicate accused murderer Lee Harvey Oswald was just the dimwit selected and set up to take the blame with a "false flag" type shooting covertly arranged by powerful people who wanted Kennedy gone. Looks like JFK approach is need now. Had there been a more aggressive US President in 1962, probably a nuclear war against Russia would have started over the Cuban missile crisis.

Just adding to the comments by mox, philipS and ilmessaggio, even though there is not much to add, isn't this deja vu all over again?

A small (make that tiny) nation with a tragic history of imperial occupation and mind-numbing imperial destruction, steers an independent path and creates a socio-political structure of homogenised national solidarity and active weaponry deterrence.

What to do? What to do?

So the Western sanction-everything brigade goes into top gear (to ensure total economic collapse of the tiny nation) and the media regime-demonisation brigade goes into humanitarian-saviour overdrive.

Oh, dear. That silly, tiny little nation is now telling us to go screw ourselves, and anyone else who sides with us. Gentlemen, pass the port and the cigars. It's going to be a long night.

I read a report from America that said KimyongKing Kong has missiles that can reach New York or Melbourne.

I think more likely they may be able to reach Northern Australia.
I think he is more likely key to lob one at Australia, because if he aims at America
they will use their defence shield and then lob one straight back at him

If he aims at Australia it will most probably take everyone by surprise and America may hesitate to immediately respond.

Dear Cherful,

Using his 60 submarines, Kim can reach anywhere except the very middle of continents.

Dear Yuyuutsu,
Thanks for the info.

Might be time to put that missile defence shield in place.

Indonesia wasnt happy about it last time it was suggested. I guess our regional neighbours think it will give us a military advantage.
