Una coreografia in ... ...

[fabio-22raptor]

Ma solo io noto che Kim non è avvezzo ad alcun protocollo e sembra essere impacciato? Comunque alla fine lo hanno "piegato". Possiamo mettere la parola fine alla guerra di corea. Almeno fin quando non gli risale l'embolo. Ho letto che comunque Don Ciccio Kim ha speso nello scorso anno l'equivalente di 1mln di euro in alcolici (e si vede). Mica male l'amico

[nik978]

Io sostengo da sempre che Kim e' molto piu' furbo di quanto il mondo credo (e di quanto lui stesso voglia far credere).

Alla fine ha bluffato parecchio, seppur arrivando a risultati accettabili militarmente non credo potesse far paura agli USa, quando da decenni puo' radere al suolo Seoul, che e' la minaccia piu grossa.

 

Io l'ho visto molto rilassato e molto attento a dare una immagine "piaciona" (avra' imparato dai cinesi....)

[nik978]

Io ho il sospetto che Kim voglia tenere fuori Trump dalla risoluzione. (Trump si e' preso il merito in lungo e in largo...nel suo stile. Sembrava avesse fatto tutto da solo).

Sarei curioso di sapere le (vere) sensazioni della korea del Sud. Un processo che avanza tra Moon e Kim con l CIna ad osservare, metterebbe Trump in secondo piano e converebbe ai cinesi.

Più potente di quanto, a suo tempo, si suppose ...

Quote

Scientists looking anew at a 2017 North Korean nuclear test discovered that the explosion was likely about two-thirds more powerful than U.S. officials previously thought.
Earlier data put the yield somewhere between 30 and 300 kilotons; the U.S. intelligence community said 140 kilotons. That was already the most powerful device tested by North Korea, topping a 2016 test by about an order of magnitude. 
But a new look at seismological data suggests that the blast was between 148 and 328 kilotons, and probably around 250 kilotons.
That’s the conclusion from a group of researchers from the University of California, Santa Cruz; the Seismological Observatory of Costa Rica; and elsewhere, as published Monday in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth (*).

Corea del Nord ... lanciato un nuovo missile balistico da un sottomarino in immersione ...

Quote

Potrebbe essere stato lanciato da un sottomarino il missile balistico testato questa mattina dalla Corea del Nord verso il Mar del Giappone. 
La scelta temporale non sembra casuale: alti funzionari d’intelligence sono in arrivo a Seul da Washington e Tokyo per rilanciare l’alleanza (anche militare) sulle sfide regionali, tra cui proprio la nuclearizzazione nord-coreana.

Corea del Nord ... in arrivo sanzioni statunitensi ...

Cita

The Biden Administration has economically sanctioned five individual North Koreans, a Russian national, and a Russian company in response to six missile tests conducted by Pyongyang since September, which the Administration says violate U.N. Security Council resolutions. 
The sanctioned individuals are based in China and Russia.
The test of a hypersonic missile on Jan. 11 is “further evidence” that North Korea “continues to advance prohibited programs despite the international community’s calls for diplomacy and denuclearization,” said Brian Nelson, undersecretary of the treasury for terrorism and financial intelligence, in a statement for the press (*).

Cosa è veramente avvenuto il 10 Gennaio?

Cita

At around the same time North Korea said it fired off a hypersonic weapon, the Federal Aviation Administration issued a ground stop order for air traffic operating in the Western U.S. and Hawaii.
This was likely no coincidence, according to The War Zone ... https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/43859/mysterious-faa-order-to-halt-flights-was-prompted-by-incoming-north-korean-missile-warning ...
Both the overall duration of North Korea’s missile test and the grounding and subsequent resumption of U.S. flights occurred along the same timeline, the publication reported.
The War Zone reported that multiple pilot reports and radio communications from that day mention a “national security issue” as the reason for the temporary ground stop.
According to the War Zone, just before 2:30 pm PST on Jan. 10, North Korea test-launched a hypersonic missile eastward towards Japan and the U.S. 
By no later than 2:32 pm PST, ground stop orders were issued for Anchorage, Seattle, Oakland, and Los Angeles. 
Air traffic control messaging acquired by The War Zone indicated that NORAD advised of a missile launch from North Korea impacting air space from the Aleutian Islands south to Los Angeles.

Corea del Nord ...  lanciato un missile in grado di colpire Guam ...

Cita

North Korea confirmed Monday it test-launched an intermediate-range ballistic missile capable of reaching the U.S. territory of Guam, the North’s most significant weapon launch in years, as Washington plans steps to show its commitment to its Asian allies.
Sunday’s launch could be a prelude to bigger provocations by North Korea such as nuclear and long-range missile tests that pose a direct threat to the U.S. mainland, as the North tries to further pressure the Biden administration to win sanction relief or international recognition as a legitimate nuclear state.
The official Korean Central News Agency said the purpose of the test was verifying the overall accuracy of the Hwasong-12 missile that is being deployed in its military.
KCNA published two sets of combination photos — one showing the missile rising from a launcher and soaring into space and the other showing North Korea and nearby areas that it said were photographed from space by a camera installed at the missile’s warhead. 
The Associated Press decided not to use the images because the authenticity of the photos couldn’t be verified.

U.S. Indo-Pacific Command has intensified its intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance efforts and increased its ballistic missile defense readiness in response to North Korea’s tests of a new ICBM system, the Pentagon announced March 10.
According to a statement from Pentagon Press Secretary John F. Kirby (*), the North Koreans conducted a pair of tests Feb. 26 and March 4 of the new intercontinental ballistic missile system known as Hwasong-16, which North Korea first revealed in an October 2020 military parade.
“The purpose of these tests, which did not demonstrate ICBM range, was likely to evaluate this new system before conducting a test at full range in the future, potentially disguised as a space launch,” Kirby’s statement read.

Nuovo lancio missilistico da parte della Corea del Nord ...

Cita

North Korea fired what is thought to be an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) toward the sea off its east coast on Thursday, militaries in South Korea and Japan said.
It would be the first full-capability launch of the nuclear-armed state's largest missiles since 2017, and represent a major escalation in the North's development of weapons potentially able to deliver nuclear warheads anywhere in the United States.
The North's return to major weapons tests also poses a new national security headache for U.S. President Joe Biden as he responds to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and presents a challenge to South Korea's incoming conservative administration.

Cita

In a March 24 Senate Armed Services Committee hearing, Sen. Jack Reed (D-R.I.) questioned U.S. Northern Command boss Gen. Glen D. VanHerck about his capacity to protect the homeland from a North Korean strike, citing “analysis of the flight path” showing that the missile could hit America.
“I’m comfortable with where we are today, based on the intelligence I have, with the current capabilities and capacity of North Korea,” VanHerck said. 
“Going forward, I do believe they could exceed my capacity and capabilities. That’s why it’s crucial to keep Next-Generation Interceptor on time or early. In my discussions with [Missile Defense Agency Director Vice Adm. Jon A. Hill], he’s confident right now that they’re on that path.”
--- --- ---
“I am very concerned about my ability to pace the capacity of production that we assess and the capability that we assess the North Koreans continue to adapt to,” VanHerck said. 
“That’s why the funding for the service life extension program for the current ballistic missile defense capability is so crucial. Thank you for that funding. And that’s why Next-Generation Interceptor is crucial as well, because it will help both get after the additional capacity problems and the capability problems.”

The United States needs to deploy its Next Generation Interceptor by 2028 or sooner to keep pace with North Korea’s accelerating ballistic missile program, most recently demonstrated in Pyongyang’s successful test-firing of an intercontinental ballistic missile Thursday, Air Force Gen. Glen VanHerck told the Senate Armed Services Committee.
While saying he was “comfortable with where we are today based on the intelligence I have,” the commander of U.S. Northern Command said “going forward, I do believe that [the North Koreans] could exceed my capacity and capabilities.”
Thursday’s ICBM test was North Korea’s first since 2017, but the 12th missile test this year.

Cita

North Korea’s latest military parade once again saw intercontinental ballistic missiles, or ICBMs, take center stage, with the country’s biggest-ever display of these weapons, including around a dozen examples of the Hwasong-17, its largest ICBM design to date and very likely the largest road-mobile missile of its kind. 
At the same time, Pyongyang showed off a mock-up or a possible prototype of what could be a future solid-fuel ICBM design, which would be a significant development for the country’s rapidly evolving strategic missile forces.

Cita

Giovedì scorso la Corea del Nord ha effettuato un tentativo, che è fallito, di lanciare un satellite militare, con il veicolo di lancio che si è spezzato in tre parti separate che sono cadute nel Mar Giallo, nel Mar Cinese Orientale e nel Mare delle Filippine.
Il lancio di Giovedì è stato il secondo tentativo di dispiegamento del satellite da ricognizione Malligyong-1 utilizzando, come vettore, un razzo Chollima-1 dopo il fallimento del primo tentativo del 31 Maggio.

La Corea del Nord, questa settimana, ha lanciato in mare, al largo della sua costa orientale, due missili balistici, e le sue Forze Armate hanno dichiarato che il lancio era in risposta ad un volo congiunto, effettuato nello stesso giorno, da bombardieri B-1B dell'USAF e da aerei da combattimento dell'Aeronautica Militare della Corea del Sud (*).
Le Forze Armate della Corea del Nord hanno affermato che il lancio era una pratica per contrastare un attacco nucleare preventivo contro il paese.

La Corea del Nord sostiene di aver messo in orbita con successo un satellite spia ...

Cita

Mercoledì scorso la Corea del Nord ha affermato di aver messo in orbita con successo un satellite spia al suo terzo tentativo di lancio di quest’anno, dimostrando la determinazione del paese a costruire un sistema di sorveglianza spaziale durante le prolungate tensioni con gli Stati Uniti.
L’affermazione della Corea del Nord non ha potuto essere immediatamente confermata in modo indipendente.
Ma il lancio susciterà sicuramente una dura condanna da parte degli Stati Uniti e dei suoi partner poiché le Nazioni Unite vietano alla Corea del Nord di effettuare lanci satellitari, definendoli coperture per test di tecnologia missilistica.
