Seoul warned that North Korea would pay a "severe price" if it goes on with the plan. Oh noess! J F'N Kerry will no doubt dash off a sternly worded letter soon.

Lots of talk and it means nothing. Japan should have shot the last missile out of the sky since America will not.

Maybe soon Obama can count as his many achievements a war between North Korea and Japan. If Obama gets any more successful, the world will go up in flames.

Was this related in any way to the 5% drop in the NIKKEI 225 today?

Tokyo has ordered ballistic missile defense units in the Sea of Japan and onshore to shoot down any North Korean missile that would threaten its territory.Smells like bluster to me. With ballistic missiles, you generally cannot tell where it is headed until it is close to its apogee (highest point). If they didn't shoot down the last one on its way up, then this is likely an empty promise. Shooting one down on its way down is much tougher and riskier, I would think.

Wait, didn't the Norks already fire their missile over Japan last week?
Did they miss that?

Shooting it down if it looks like it’ll hit Japan won’t help Japan if the missile carries an EMP-tuned nuke (which DOESN’T have to be that large, and definitely NOT thermonuclear) that it detonated near Japan on its way up (i.e. before you can tell where it is going).
The Norks and the Iranians are working on EMP weapons, folks. It is the only way that they can defeat a modern Western nation - and specifically the US. It is the ultimate in assymetric warfare, and we are not prepared for it in any significant way.

Japan is the goto country. Japan knows how to make stuff perform.
Kawasaki Heavy Industries is my favorite crew.

Must be the new “Mutual Defense Concept” in Japan that Rubio talked about in one of his town hall meetings on Sunday - Japan looks to others for protection as needed, but will also aid others as needed.....
