What the buzz coming out of Japan right now because of this?
It’s a Japanese holiday today, that might slow down the official response.
It is not official, but I would imagine if it escalates any further, the US Forces Japan (Army Navy, AirForce, Marines) throughout the Kanto Plain and elsewhere will go on highest alert, but not to the most serious Defcon. Depends if DPRK wants to push this thing tonight or not. Japanese P.M. Ka clearly condemned it tonight, but in rather milquetoast terms in my opinion (that’s why I’m not a Prime Minister I guess!!!)
