Supreme Commander, As long as he does not get my title of Supreme ruler of my Universe then everything will be o.k..
Communism works in mysterious ways don't it, well not really, aside from the fact that their has not been an attempt to off youg Kim jong un, has it been a surprise that he has claimed damn near every title there is?
Washington Post
North Korea announced Saturday that Kim Jong Eun has been officially named supreme commander of the military, further strengthening his authority after the death of his father, longtime North Korean leader Kim Jong Il.
Officials and state media have bestowed on Kim Jong Eun, who is in his late 20s, a string of titles as North Korea’s elite rally around him in the wake of his father’s death this month after 17 years in power.
But the title Supreme Commander — and its formal proclamation by the powerful Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party — is a clear sign that Kim Jong Eun is fast consolidating power over North Korea. It’s also the latest step in a burgeoning personality cult around him.

North Korea calls Kim Jong Un 'supreme leader'
Will the new Supreme leader of North Korea Please Stand up...
Oh he already is standing.
Awesome, now their is a new supreme leader for the Norks, I can't wait to see what kind of silliness pours out of his mouth at the first nuclear talks with him.
And now maybe the People Of north Korea can go about their lives without having to act like they are saddened by little Kim Jong Il's death.
Just look at all those tears.
(AP) — North Korea's power brokers declared Kim Jong Un the supreme leader at a massive public memorial for his father Kim Jong Il, cementing the Kim family's hold on power for another generation.
The son, dubbed North Korea's Great Successor, stood with his head bowed and somber in a dark overcoat on a balcony at the Grand People's Study House overlooking Kim Il Sung Square and watched the memorial that doubled as a show of support for his burgeoning role as leader.
The unequivocal public backing for Kim Jong Un at his father's memorial provides a strong signal that government and military officials have unified around him in the wake of Kim Jong Il's death Dec. 17.

Kim Jong Il, North Korea’s ‘Dear Leader,’ dies, leaving son as successor
Not so ronry anymore, but so Dead.
Kimjung Il has finally kicked the bucket and his son will be taking over as the new dear leader.
Watching the news today of Kim's death it was funny seeing the people of North Korea trying to be serious as they cried in front of the cameras, it was hard to tell if they were seriously upset; or seriously ecstatic over his death.
It is hard to believe that his people will miss him.
But now they have his son to look forward too.
Washington Post
Kim Jong Il, the North Korean leader who threatened the world with his nuclear weapons ambitions and suppressed his own people with imprisonment and isolation, left in the wake of his death Saturday an antiquated country with a power vacuum.
Kim’s death raises immediate questions about the future — and the stability — of perhaps the world’s most isolated state, which for six decades has been held together by the Kim family personality cult. Kim was deified by state media, described as the “Dear Leader.” A weeping television anchor Monday told North Korea of Kim’s death.
Security analysts and officials from Seoul to Washington have long believed that Kim’s death would double as a pivot point on the Korean Peninsula. But that poses a threat of its own, as North Korea tries to pass power to Kim’s youngest son, Kim Jong Eun, who is in his 20s.

Pentagon Receives Massive Bunker-Busting Bombs
According to Boeing’s website the MOP includes a GPS navigation system and more than 5,300 pounds of explosives. It measures 20 feet long and is “designed specifically to attack hardened concrete bunkers and tunnel facilities.”
Awesome, I would love to see one of these demonstrated on say Iran's nuclear facilities, or maybe even the Norks.
Like an early Christmas present to them.
Foxnews
Pentagon officials are speaking publicly about the military's new 30,000-pound massive ordnance penetrator, or MOP, known now as the biggest "bunker-busting bomb" in the world.
The Air Force has already received an undisclosed number of these bombs from Boeing, all designed to fit exclusively with the B-2 and B-52 bombers.
"It gives us a far greater capability to reach and destroy an enemy's weapons of mass destruction that are located in well protected underground facilities... to a magnitude far greater than we have now," Pentagon Spokesman Capt. John Kirby said at a briefing Wednesday.
But, strangely, Kirby denied these bombs are designed to target Iran, the only country known to have buried its nuclear weapons program...
It has been widely reported that Iran has buried it's nuclear weapon production facilities at least 90 meters underground at locations in Natanz and Qom.

U.S. To Resume Talks With North Korea
Talks resume, oh boy.
Its been a few months without anything and before that its been even longer, so why not have a little chit chat with the lonely little Kimmie and his minions.
(Bloomberg) -- The U.S. will resume direct talks with North Korea next week in Geneva in the hope that engaging Kim Jong Il’s regime will prevent it from taking hostile actions, including nuclear weapons tests.
A U.S. official who spoke on condition of anonymity said that while there is no new information suggesting a change of heart by North Korea, the Obama administration has decided that engagement may prevent hostile provocations. The U.S. yesterday announced the appointment of a full-time envoy to oversee the effort to persuade North Korea to abandon its nuclear weapons program, with Glyn Davies, ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna, succeeding Stephen Bosworth...
“I don’t think we can expect much out of this meeting, but it could be seen as progress if they can at least set agendas for future talks,” said Dong Yong Sueng, a senior fellow at the Samsung Economic Research Institute in Seoul. “This will just serve to help ease tensions and create a more favorable atmosphere.”

U.S. Intercepts North Korean Ship Carrying Missiles to Burma
The Norks up to the same old crap again, you would think they would not even try anymore but they still do.
I wonder how many shipments they have been successful with?
Foxnews
The US Navy intercepted a North Korean ship suspected of carrying missiles to Burma, forcing it to return to the rogue nuclear state, South Korea’s Yonhap news agency reported Monday.
The vessel, The Light, was Sunday reported to have returned to North Korea after drifting in international waters.
Gary Samore, the special assistant to President Barack Obama for arms control and weapons of mass destruction, said the US suspected that the vessel was heading to Burma to deliver military equipment such as small arms and missile-related items, according to the report.

US calls for release of citizen 'held in North Korea'
The main Question here, Why was this American in North Korean Territory?
Probably the stupidest move they ever made, and now we have to pay millions of dollars in taxes to help get this Jackass out of the North Korean Hell hole.
Can we prosecute them in the U.S for extreme stupidity?
BBC
The US state department says an American citizen is being held in North Korea, and is calling for the person's release on humanitarian grounds.
No details have been given about the American's identity or the circumstances of the arrest.
The news comes ahead of a scheduled visit to Seoul this weekend by US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Efforts to ease tensions on the Korean peninsula are continuing, after two military attacks last year.
The state department is refusing to answer questions about the detained citizen - such as who are they? What were they doing in North Korea? When, where and why were they arrested? - because it says the individual has not signed a privacy waiver.

North Korea Appears to Prepare for Nuclear Test
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Whatever.
Foxnews
SEOUL -- North Korea is digging tunnels at a site where it has launched two nuclear tests, suggesting it is preparing a third, the South's Yonhap news agency said on Sunday, a development which would trigger concern across the region.
Tensions rose on the divided peninsula when 46 sailors were killed in an attack in March on a South Korean naval vessel. North Korea, which has denied responsibility, shelled the southern island of Yeonpyeong in November, killing four people and sparking fears of possible all-out war.
The North was excavating several tunnels before picking the most suitable, Yonhap said, citing an unnamed South Korean government source.

North Korea will pose direct threat to US
Talk about waking up and smelling the Coffee.
And still nothing will be done.
Foxnews
U.S. Defense Secretary
Robert Gates says North Korea will pose a direct threat to the United States within five years if the communist dictatorship isn't reined in.
Gates cited the North's development of intercontinental ballistic missiles and its efforts to expand its nuclear weapons capability during a press conference in Beijing with Chinese President Hu Jintao.
The Pentagon chief also noted that South Korea's
tolerance for the North's behavior has "worn thin."
He said it's time for Pyongyang to demonstrate specific ways it is ready to re-engage with its neighbors, such as moratoriums on missile testing and nuclear testing.
Gates said China has played a helpful role in lessening tensions, and said North Korea will be a significant topic when President Barack Obama meets with Hu in Washington next week.

North Korea says to strike South if drill goes ahead
The North had said its November shelling was a response to South Korean "provocations."
South Korea should just stop all its provocations of the North, That way there wont be Any problem!(sarc off)
(Reuters)
North Korea said on Friday it would strike again at the South if a live-firing drill planned by Seoul on a disputed island went ahead, with an even stronger response than last month's shelling that killed four people.
The announcement on North Korean official news agency KCNA came as South Korea readied for live-firing drills on Yeonpyeong island near a disputed maritime border with the North for the first time since November's exchange of artillery fire.
The South Korean drills will take place between December 18-21.
"The strike will play out a more serious situation than on November 23 in terms of strength and scope of the strike," KCNA said.
The North had said its November shelling was a response to South Korean "provocations."

North Korea digging tunnel for spring nuclear test
What's another Nuclear test anyways?
If no one is willing to actually take on North Korea Directly (With more than just words)Then they should be left alone.
Then if they ever try to threaten with a Nuke, they should be given one so they can see what they really do.
(Reuters) - North Korea appears to be readying for a possible third nuclear test as early as next March, a newspaper reported on Wednesday, as a U.S. politician travelled to Pyongyang with a message for the North to "calm down."
U.S. and South Korean intelligence have been watching the North's nuclear sites for any activity. Analysts say the North could use a test to try to gain leverage in international talks it is seeking and secure aid to prop up its destitute economy.
South Korea's Chosun Ilbo daily on Wednesday cited an intelligence official from Seoul as saying a tunnel was being dug at the country's nuclear test site that could be completed in March next year, possibly heralding a new nuclear test.

NKorea threatens SKorea with nuclear war
Uh Oh !
"is nothing but treachery escalating the tension between the North and the South and bringing the dark clouds of a nuclear war to hang over the Korean peninsula,"
Nuclear war? I don't think that the Norks understand what will happen to them if they attempt to have a Nuclear war.
Do you think the U.S. Will sit and let that happen ?
Then again it is the Same Bullshit Different day thing when talking about the Norks.
Foxnews
SEOUL, South Korea – North Korea warned Monday that U.S.-South Korean cooperation could bring a nuclear war to the region, as the South began artillery drills amid lingering tension nearly three weeks after the North's deadly shelling of a South Korean island.
The South's naval live-fire drills are scheduled to run Monday through Friday at 27 sites. The regularly scheduled exercises are getting special attention following a North Korean artillery attack on front-line Yeonpyeong Island that killed two South Korean marines and two civilians.
The Nov. 23 artillery barrage, the North's first assault to target a civilian area since the end of the 1950-53 Korean War, began after the North said South Korea first fired artillery toward its territorial waters. South Korea says it fired shells southward, not toward North Korea, as part of routine exercises.

U.S. Sees Greater N. Korea Nuclear Threat
Yes it is Obvious that North Korea has Big Nuclear ambitions.
Yes it is Obvious that as closed off as North Korea is no one may ever know what they are doing everywhere inside their country.
A new strategy ? Sure that is what is needed, but as the nitwits of the world plan on having some more face time with each other about that, The Norks are still building their secret facilities.
Take your time guys, when you finally get done talking about it, we will be facing a fully Nuclear capable North Korea.
Foxnews
VIENNA—The Obama administration
told the United Nations nuclear watchdog that North Korea likely has built more than one uranium-enrichment facility, significantly raising the proliferation threat posed by the secretive communist state.
U.S. and European officials are pressing the International Atomic Energy Agency to better scrutinize Pyongyang's potential role in sharing its nuclear technologies with third countries. But the U.N. agency's ability to monitor Pyongyang is limited: North Korea kicked out the IAEA's inspectors in 2009.
These additional facilities would allow North Korea to significantly increase its numbers of atomic weapons, as well as their yield.
"It is likely that North Korea had been pursuing an enrichment capability long before the April 2009 date it now claims,".
"If so, there is a clear likelihood that DPRK has built other uranium enrichment-related facilities in its territory."

Wikileaks cables reveal China 'ready to abandon North Korea'
Little Kimmie must feel so Ronery after hearing this.
Guardianuk
China has signalled its readiness to accept Korean reunification and is privately distancing itself from the North Korean regime, according to leaked US embassy cables that reveal senior Beijing figures regard their official ally as a "spoiled child".
News of the Chinese shift comes at a crucial juncture after the North's artillery bombardment of a South Korean island last week that killed four people and led both sides to threaten war. China has refused to condemn the North Korean action. But today Beijing appeared to bow to US pressure to help bring about a diplomatic solution, calling for "emergency consultations" and inviting a senior North Korean official to Beijing.
China's moves to distance itself from Kim are revealed in the latest tranche of leaked US embassy cables published by the Guardian and four international newspapers. Tonight, the US secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, said the US "deeply regrets" the release of the material by WikiLeaks. They were an "attack on the international community", she said. "It puts people's lives in danger, threatens our national security and undermines efforts to work with other countries to solve shared problems," she told reporters at the state department.

N.Korea issues warning ahead of US-S.Korean exercises
"If the US brings its carrier to the West Sea of Korea (Yellow Sea) at last, no one can predict the ensuing consequences".
Sounds like a Threat, Does it not?
Good luck with that attitude Little Man.
smh.com.au
North Korea warned Saturday of "unpredictable consequences" if the United States and South Korea go ahead with naval exercises in the Yellow Sea, days after launching a deadly attack on the South.
The USS George Washington aircraft carrier and its battle group were planning four days of exercises with South Korea from Sunday as a show of force after Pyongyang stunned the world with its artillery strike.

NKorea warns region is on brink of war
Funny how the Norks Pepper an Island of South Korea's with artillery rounds, Unprovoked, and the South publicly condemns it along with the U.S., it is then seen as an act of war on South Korea's Behalf!
Part of me would like to see the Norks Bombed to oblivian , The other part would like to see them nuked!
Foxnews
YEONPYEONG ISLAND, South Korea – North Korea warned Friday that U.S.-South Korean plans for military maneuvers put the peninsula on the brink of war, and appeared to launch its own artillery drills within sight of an island it showered with a deadly barrage this week.
The fresh artillery blasts were especially defiant because they came as the U.S. commander in South Korea, Gen. Walter Sharp, toured the South Korean island to survey damage from Tuesday's hail of North Korean artillery fire that killed four people.
South Korea names defense minister amid criticism
"(We) think nominee Kim, well-respected for professionalism and conviction, is the right person for the post in order to restore trust from people and boost morale in the entire military,"
Boost Morale of the Military.
You mean they are not going to sit on their hands anymore while their ass's are being handed to them?
(Reuters) - South Korea named a career soldier as its new defense minister on Friday amid mounting criticism of the government's response to Tuesday's attack by North Korea, its heaviest bombardment since the 1950-53 Korean War.
The move came hours after North Korea said that impending military exercises by the South and the United States were pushing the region toward conflict.
The presidential Blue House appointed Kim Kwan-jin, 61, former chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, to replace Kim Tae-young, who had tried to resign the defense portfolio in May following criticism of the government's response to a torpedo attack on a South Korean warship blamed on the North.
"(We) think nominee Kim, well-respected for professionalism and conviction, is the right person for the post in order to restore trust from people and boost morale in the entire military," presidential secretary Hong Sang-pyo told a news briefing.

U.S. aircraft carrier heads for Korean waters
Don't worry Obama Says this is just an exercise, we can not be threatening in any way here.
Sit and do nothing, seems to be the policy.
(Reuters) - A U.S. aircraft carrier group set off for Korean waters on Wednesday, a day after North Korea rained artillery shells on a South Korean island, in a move likely to enrage Pyongyang and unsettle its ally, China.
South Korea said the bodies of two civilians were found on
the island after Tuesday's attack, which is likely to stir up
more resentment in the country against its prickly neighbor.
The nuclear-powered USS George Washington, which carries 75 warplanes and has a crew of over 6,000, left a naval base south of Tokyo and would join exercises with South Korea from Sunday to the following Wednesday, U.S. officials in Seoul said.
"This exercise is defensive in nature," U.S. Forces Korea said in a statement. "While planned well before yesterday's unprovoked artillery attack, it demonstrates the strength of the ROK (South Korea)-U.S. alliance and our commitment to regional stability through deterrence."

NKorea threatens continued strikes on South
Uh Oh.
What now, will this blatant attack and act of war go unanswered again?
How many times is South Korea gonna take a beating and keep on doing nothing.
The Washington Post
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - North Korea bombarded a South Korean island near their disputed western border with artillery Tuesday, setting buildings ablaze and killing at least one marine after warning the South to halt military drills in the area, South Korean officials said.
South Korea said it returned fire and scrambled fighter jets in response, and said the "inhumane" attack on civilian areas violated the 1953 armistice halting the Korean War. The two sides technically remain at war because a peace treaty was never negotiated.
SEOUL, South Korea -- North Korea is threatening to continue launching strikes against South Korea if it violates their disputed sea border "even 0.001 millimeter."
North Korea's supreme military command said Tuesday that it would "launch merciless military retaliatory strikes."
The warning was carried by North Korea's official Korean Central News Agency.

South Korea considers return of US tactical weapons
The "Possibility" that U.S. Nukes could be deployed.
Guardian.co.UK.
South Korea's defence minister today raised the possibility that US nuclear weapons could be deployed in his country for the first time in nearly 20 years, after it was revealed that Pyongyang had built an advanced uranium enrichment plant.
Kim Tae-young was speaking to a parliamentary committee about the North Korea plant, when he was asked whether the government would consider the return of US tactical weapons for the first time since they were withdrawn by President George Bush Sr in 1991.
He replied that the matter would be "reviewed" by a joint US-Korean committee on deterrence set up last month. His remarks drew attention as the issue has been treated as taboo in the highly-charged atmosphere of the Korean peninsular.
Korean government officials were anxious to play down the significance of his comments, and insisted the taboo remained in place. A Korean defence ministry statement said the redeployment of nuclear weapons had not so far been raised. The Pentagon said there were no immediate plans to redeploy nuclear weapons in South Korea.
