Japan has wheeled missile defence systems into the heart of Tokyo after North Korea threatened to send a volley of rockets over the country towards Guam. Pictures show how a PAC-3 Patriot missile unit has been moved in to a compound at the Defence Ministry in the capital after officials said they could shoot down North Korean rockets if they pass overhead. Sales of bomb shelters in Japan are said to have increased as tensions continue to rise in the region while officials in Seoul have vowed to bolster their defences. But South Korean citizens - long accustomed to its neighbour's fearsome rhetoric - are staying remarkably calm as the crisis unfolds, it has been reported. Officials in Hawaii, meanwhile, say they are working on how to warn its 1.4million residents in the event of an attack.

Any Freepers in Japan?
I guess that, when you know your national capital is within range of thousands of tubes of artillery, it doesn't matter much if your opponent also has nukes. That alone, and knowing that they've never really been at peace with the Norks, might make them "surprisingly blasé".
Japan has a picket defense system of ships off its coast including 6 of its Aegis class ships.
Hawaii is advising citizens to find a cave to shelter in, I’m not kidding.
Maybe everyone in Hawaii can meet up at Zuck’s walled fortress.
They think a bunker is gonna save them from a direct hit? How deep can they dig in Tokyo?
Notice how they killed off the Civil Defense programs in this country? How convenient.
I’m in Kumamoto , Japan , down near Nagasaki .
Whats the feeling in Japan.
“Hi. I’d like to buy a bomb shelter.”
“OK. Here you go.”
“Ummmm.....That looks like a baseball cap.”
“Nope. It’s a bomb shelter.”
“Why would a bomb shelter have a Seattle Mariners logo on it.”
“Are you against advertising? Are you sure you’re not North Korean? North Koreans don’t like advertising. Maybe I should turn you in?”
“No, no, I’ll take this Seattle Mariners bomb shelter.”
“That’s better. Do you want a radiation suit?”
“That looks like a Seattle Mariners t-shirt.”
“I’m this close to calling the authorities on you, North Korean spy.”
“OK. OK. I’ll take a Seattle Mariners radiation suit.”
“Now, you’ll need a radiation detector to go along with this. Here’s one for only a hundred bucks.”
“Now, I’m real sure that is a Seattle Mariners mug. Where’s the meter if it’s a radiation detector?”
“Right here. It’s an extra fifty bucks.”
“That’s a Seattle Mariners thermometer.”
“Help! Police! North Korean spy!”
“Alright. Here’s my credit card.”
I’d say the Norks threats are causing little concern amongst the populace . Not in panic mode .
Fake news . NOT “rushing” to buy bomb shelters .
