The US military has deployed the 23rd Chemical Battalion to South Korea today, a group specifically equipped to deal with chemical and nuclear weapons attacks, in the wake of repeated threats to launch nuclear attacks by North Korea.
The US insists the deployment is “coincidental,” but with Congress openly talking up starting a war that seems certain to devastate the peninsula, jitters seem to be growing in South Korea, where the annual US-North Korea war threats are usually just ignored by the public.
Today though the attention being paid to the ever growing US arsenal entering the region is very real, and while no one thinks North Korea is likely to start anything, the chance of the US up and attacking them seems to be growing.
South Korean officials are continuing to try to downplay the situation, saying that the North Korean rhetoric is mostly empty and that the odds of “provocations” are small.
And this 23rd Chemical Battalion, is it trained to use chemical weapons on civilians? I suspect so.
The real threat is the west's constant hectoring,badgering and provocation of NK with its perpetual ,incessant virtually round the clock 'military exercises' at their back-door. 'All options are on the table'. What does that mean? That we reserve the 'right' to nuke them if we want to. Is that not blatant provocation? When they launch a sattilete into space we run to the UN for sanctions, and then we do the same thing the next week. What infantile double-standards. Rule of law implies fairness and we do not have that do we? The west cherry picks concerning who can have nukes and who can't and they have no right to. Isreal is the greatest example of this favortism.
How many nations has NK attacked in the last 50 years? Occupied? On the other hand this is what the West does on a weekly basis. Always threatening some poor little country that can't fight back or actually illegally and immorally attacking and thenoccupying nations for years so that install regimes of their liking to get contracts,trade routes and access to resours that they crave like locust. The West's typical hypocrisy knows no bounds and has become nothing but a catch-22.
If you tie up a dog,tease it,throw rocks at it and constantly threaten it with death, what do you think the dog will do? Lick the hand that hits it? Finally when the poor dog is badgered to its limit it barks and we all run and hide and shout out; "Rabid dog, Rabid dog, kill it!!! Idiots…

According to yesterday’s Wall Street Journal: “The U.S. is putting a pause to what several officials described as a step-by-step plan the Obama administration approved earlier this year, dubbed "the playbook," that laid out the sequence and publicity plans for U.S. shows of force during annual war games with South Korea. The playbook included well-publicized flights in recent weeks near North Korea by nuclear-capable B-52 and stealth B-2 bombers, as well as advanced F-22 warplanes. The U.S. stepped back from the plans this week, as U.S. officials began to worry that the North, which has a small nuclear arsenal and an unpredictable new leader, may be more provoked than the U.S. had intended, the officials said.”
