South Korea Rejects US Pentagon Provocation vs. China

The United States and Japan are planning to hold a military exercise together with South Korea in order to initiate another cloud of uncertainty in the region, in parallel with US beefing up of NATO forces near the Russian border.
As a backgrounder, the USS Ronald Reagan carrier group was being shadowed by a Chinese attack sub without being detected, back in the later part of 2015.

Chinese Submarine Stalked U.S. Aircraft Carrier

A Chinese attack submarine stalked the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan near Japan last month in the closest encounter between a carrier and a People’s Liberation Army Navy submarine since 2006, according to American defense officials.
The Chinese submarine sailed very close to the Reagan during the weekend of Oct. 24, said defense officials familiar with reports of the incident.
The incident occurred as the Reagan sailed from its home port to the Sea of Japan around the southern end of Japan.
Days later, in the Sea of Japan, the Reagan was targeted for a close flyby by two Russian Tu-142 bombers that flew within a mile of the ship at an altitude of 500 feet. U.S. Navy jets were scrambled to escort the bombers away from the carrier group.
The submarine encounter also occurred days before the USS Lassen, a guided missile destroyer, carried out a freedom of navigation operation in the South China Sea.
The Lassen’s passage within 12 miles of a disputed island in the South China Sea on Oct. 26 was fiercely denounced by the Chinese government. Chinese spokesmen, both military and civilian, said the passage was a violation of Beijing’s territorial sovereignty, a claim rejected by the United States, which said the ship was sailing in international waters.
Disclosure of the Chinese submarine encounter comes as Adm. Harry Harris is visiting China for the first time as the commander of U.S. forces in the Pacific.
Pacific Fleet and Pacific Command spokesmen declined to comment on the submarine encounter but did not deny that the incident occurred.
Additional details of the encounter—such as the type of submarine involved, whether it surfaced or remained submerged, and how close it came to the ship—could not be learned.
The nuclear-powered carrier is a symbol of U.S. power projection capabilities. China’s military has been attempting to drive the U.S. military out of Asia as part of efforts to assume the sole leadership role in the region.

This singular event in 2015 puts the US Navy in a very uncomfortable position, having realized that they could be sitting ducks against Chinese subs even with their advertised technological superiority, effectively rendering all “freedom of navigation” naval intrusions irrelevant.
Notably, the Russians also manifested its readiness to help China militarily, whenever the need arises.
The same Chinese stalking reoccurred with USS John C. Stennis’ task force group, about 7 months later.
To top it off, the Philippine government under Mayor Duterte has expressed, in more ways than one, that no more military exercises near the disputed area in the South China Sea will be allowed, effectively rendering the same naval intrusions geopolitically irrelevant.


With these unfriendly developments, the military industrial complex controlling the Pentagon is now relying other US allies in the region for another shadow war with China, under the cover of a trilateral military exercise.
Said planned exercise include a submarine hunting drill. No,  it’s not against North Korea, as the country is focusing more on increasing the reach of its ICBMs, i.e. just enough to reach the US mainland.
Understandably, with all its internal problems right now, South Korea rejected the idea.

Korea Rejects Trilateral Anti-Submarine Drill With US, Japan

S.Korea and US Military during joint exercise in March 2016.

South Korea has rejected US and Japanese proposal to conduct trilateral anti-submarine warfare exercise aimed at countering North Korea’s submarines, Japanese media reported Tuesday.
South Korean side opposed the suggestion saying that it was not the right time for the drills, the Asahi Shimbun newspaper reported.
The drills were supposed to be conducted on the basis of the General Security of Military Information Agreement (GSOMIA) signed by Tokyo and Seoul on November 23, 2016 to create the framework for both protection and sharing of secret military information.
The proposition to hold the submarine hunting drill was made in a meeting of senior defense officials from Japan, the United States and South Korea in Seoul on Dec. 16.
Japan and the United States accepted this response and the three nations agreed to come up with an outline for joint exercises involving all of them at some point.

This is not to mention the great divide between Korea and Japan pertaining to abuses against Korean “comfort women” that the latter has been accused to have committed during WW2.
It must also be remembered that the majority of South Koreans don’t want the installation of THAAD surface-to-air missile in its US military bases.
So, clearly, the military industrial complex continues to exert pressure on their high-value customers to buy some more war materiel even when the latter don’t need them anytime soon.
The conflict must first be created.

  2. Intel SITREP – Friday – January 13, 2017 – 00:00 EST
    There’s no stopping the global release mechanism now that the political fuse has been lit starting the RV.
    Not even Israel (Netanyahu) bombing a Syrian air base five kilometers from Assad’s bed at the stroke of midnight during a full moon can stop what’s coming.
    Netanyahu is using the Trump / American public to leverage a better East Jerusalem negotiations with Palestine and the world community before the 70 country meeting in Paris over the weekend.
    Both Trump and Netanyahu will go down in political flames shortly and together as they represent the same Zionistic entity clinging to power.
    Notice too how the bad media coverage continues to ratchet up against both men just a week before the US Inauguration Day. Even CNN is now working for the light.
    Without a new pro-Netanyahu US President, the US Congress won’t support Netanyahu anymore and he’ll loose political collation support in the Knesset.
    An RV practice run went off well last week Friday (Dow at 19.999.69) as they stress tested all the release protocols for what we believe to be an anytime this week release after markets close on Friday.
    Monday is the MLK banking holiday which creates a 48 hour no bank – no market -window to process hyper and moderately aware private exchangers.
    Watch the Dow hover below 20,000 until the RV is released — this is to create a mathematical starting line for all the aggressive high speed traders.
    We believe Trump might also be waiting to step down until after the RV goes which will guarantee personal currency gains.
    The fake news Trump “golden shower” video is real and filmed in 2013, he was shown a copy as was the Senate last night and House of Representatives will be tomorrow.
    Also Trump’s special Russian relationship includes an Israeli bank in Moscow that Trump, Inc has special servers connected to since 2014. Russia and China played Trump just for this moment.
    The FBI, CIA and NSA have all warned Trump not to take the Presidential oath because it creates an impeachment situation and potentially a criminal trial for treason.
    All counsel has advised him to step away from the Presidency as not to potentially harm the country.
    Looks like the intelligence community refuses to accept America’s electoral vote result and still have the ability to force a Trump resignation even at this late stage.
    Notice also how the Trump scandal broke at exactly the same pre-event time as when the FBI reopened the Clinton email investigation before the general election… same exact playbook, different scandal.
    A top Chinese Elder was in Reno to release the RV. He left. Other elders are still in Reno and D.C. to monitor progress.
    TRNs & USNs are now live on Forex back screens and using the new IEX block chain platform.
    The RV is scheduled to release anytime before January 15th.
    TRNs & USNs are expected to be traded on FOREX by Tuesday morning of next week. With no public trading will occur prior. Privately they’ve been traded for months.
    Multiple Central and Tier 1, 2 banks are reporting to staff “expect a reset next week.”
    Sovereign rates still apply for humanitarian and job creation projects.
    Key Intel providers will be receiving early notification and their silence both well compensated and contractually obligated (NDA).
    SKRs for large volume currency purchases on going at this hour have an end of the business week fulfillment guarantee.
    God is with us.
