SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea has placed surface-to-surface missiles on launch pads in the Yellow Sea, Yonhap news agency reported on Sunday.

Remember, Jimmy Carter says, "North Korea deserves our respect." 

The Japanese coast guard has spotted two Chinese vessels attempting on Sunday to enter waters near islands in the East China Sea that are disputed by the two countries, Kyodo News reported.
Two Chinese fishing patrol ships were sighted around 7:45 a.m. on Sunday (6:45 p.m. EST on Saturday) repeatedly trying to enter waters 44 kilometers off a group of islands known as Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China, Kyodo reported, citing the Japanese coast guard.

Relations between Asia's two biggest economies soured in September after Japan detained a Chinese skipper whose fishing boat collided with Japanese patrol vessels off the disputed islands, which are near potentially rich maritime gas reserves. He was later released.

I've given a little bit of thought to this now. I think this is Obama's Cuban Missile Crisis moment.

We can not allow Norko to push us around, because this is really a proxy war maneuver by China.

Based upon what we do here, China will believe they can get away with all manner of other nonsense, including taking over Taiwan.

I think we ought to use a bunker buster nuke on the Presidential Palace (home of Kim Jong Il and his son).

This will be a relatively targeted use of nukes, but it will have the effect of scaring China straight.

I say: Exactly.

BHO isn't up to this challenge, IMO. He'll want to sit down with them and have a beer summit.
