[lbo-talk] North Korea 'moves mid-range missile'

[Wojtek S]

North Korea has shifted a missile with "considerable range" to its east
coast, South Korea's foreign minister says.

Kim Kwan-jin played down concerns that the missile could target the US
mainland, and said the North's intentions were not yet clear.

Pyongyang earlier renewed threats of a nuclear strike against the US,
though its missiles are not believed to be capable of carrying nuclear
warheads.

The US is responding to North Korea by moving missile defence shields to
Guam.

Meanwhile, Russia said Pyongyang's attempts to "violate decisions of the UN
Security Council are categorically unacceptable".

[WS:] Despite of what many pundits have been saying, my concern is that
this will end up in a relatively large scale shooting war.  My reasoning
behind it is that this offers an opportunity for the US to make a show case
for countries like Iran that even having nuclear capabilities does not
count for much against US fire power while retaining the role of a "victim"
in the public eyes.
