By the Government of Japan, in response to North Korea's threat earlier today to treat 'severe sanctions' as a defacto 'declaration of war'.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Synopsis:

Japanese National Police Agency and all agency senior levels form urgent coordination body in view of possible terorist attacks within Japan by North Korean agents already in place, in case there are severe sanctions placed on Japan. Just announced.

The Japanese Self Defense Forces are also on increased alert. Of particular concern, are Japanese nuclear power installations, US Forces Japan bases (such as Atsugi, Zama, Yokota, Yokosuka, Iwakuni, etc), telecommunications and public transportation infrastructure.

Breaking.

We need to encourage Japanese re-armament toute suite.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Actually, it is the DPRK which specifically mentioned the 'defacto state of war' business today, if the UN and Japan come down on them hard over the nukes.

They spit this around all the time, on KCNA and on Radio/TV Pyongyang and in the Rodong Shimun daily. I have lost track of how many times they have said it. Kind of like the boy yelling wolf.

Usually they aim this piss and vinegar at the US or at times (before Roh Appeasment Administration in Seoul), toward South Korea. Once in awhile, they threatened Japan in this way.

But this time, the threats are being taken very seriously.

Some Koreans are still very angry at the Japanese.

What goes around comes around.

[ladyinred]

Smart of them, hope we are on guard as well.

Godzilla on the alert PING!

[gaijin]

thanks!

[AmericanInTokyo]

Correction of course, in the above. ..."Severe sanctions placed on North Korea."

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Uhhh...we have several bases in Japan. This is about Mini-Me, not what happened during WW2 or earlier.

Or maybe you think that 9-11 is our fault, too?

[conservativepoet]

Thanks for posting...this could get interesting.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Thank you for your input.

[television is just wrong]

I don't put anything past this leadership in N. Korea.

[AmericanInTokyo]

better said perhaps from you rather than me, but that is indeed my sentiment, too. thanks for forestalling the thread hijack effort.

If NK starts anything, turn NK into a good place to mine glass.
