Japan has given a warning it would launch a pre-emptive military action against North Korea if it had firm evidence Pyongyang was planning a missile attack.

I would think that US prefer Japan not go about rattling its sabre at Korea...

Theres some very bad blood even in the south. The idea of a Japanese pre-emptive strike may not sit well with a lot of Koreans.

One would think the US would work through China to get this type of statement. From a TV news interview a while back one of the commentators mentioned that quite a few in the N. Korean government feel that they arent respected as a nation. He speculated that this is one of the reason that N. Korea will actively seek a nuclear weapon. N. Korea is not like Suddam or the Arab terrorists. Most of their interests are regional. They arent actively seeking to destroy the "Great Satan." They are our enemies because of our support for the South. Its far less likely that N. Korea will supply wmd to terrorists. But they would certainly use wmd as a tool to bully the region.

Having Japan threaten N. Korea is like Germany threatening Poland or Israel. Its gonna piss alot of folks off. The US should work through China and in a lesser degree through S. Korea. We oughta tell Japan to stfu.

Yup.. however consider.. we're gonna have to treat the japanese very carefully as this develops.. and listen very carefully to what they have to say. It is certain that the japanese have far more intel sources in pongyang than we do. If they insist that a pre-emptive strike be made based on their intel we may have no choice but to share that info with the chinese before any strike is executed.

Q: Whats the Chinese take on NK in the nuclear club? Should they decline to object and offer NK economic and military assistance, Japan could be toejam outta luck if they go after the NK's with a pre-emptive assault.

Would be seem to be very strange indeed to be assisting the chinese and japanese in nutralizing the NK's. The world is definitly getting to be an exceedingly wierd place.
