US military alert level raised in Seoul, 24 stealth fighters jets ready

The US military has raised its alert level for its South Korean troops and has placed 24 stealth fighter jets within easy reach of the Korean Peninsula, according to US military sources.

The sources deny that such actions were taken as a reaction to North Korea’s threat of confrontation and an all-out-war, but confirm that the stealth fighter jets may participate in an upcoming joint anti-submarine exercise between US and South Korean military personnel.

The exercise will be conducted close to or in the disputed maritime borders between South and North Korea and may very well be viewed by Pyongyang as an intimidation and threat. Kim Jong-Il, through his spokesperson, has stated on several occasions that ant threat, sanction or punishment, resulting from the march 26 incident during which a South Korean warship was sunk, will be met with outright war.

North Korea has closed its border entry gate with South Korea, leaving hundreds of South Koreans workers stranded on the wrong side of the fence. Both North and South Korea own and operate a manufacturing plant close to the border which employs daily workers from South Korea, who’s only entry and exit point has now been temporarily been closed.

A trilateral meeting between South Korea, China and Japan will start on the South Korean Island of Jeju today with the hope to ease the tension and find a solution to a possible escalation on the peninsula.

US Deploys F-22 Raptors to Japan

The US Air Force has deployed twelve F-22 Raptors to its Kadena Air Base in Japan amid the rising tension on the Korean Peninsula because of North Korea's attack on a South Korean warship the Cheonan.
Only one day after the United States made the announcement that it will dispatch a fleet of its most powerful fighter jet the deployment was completed in Japan on Wednesday.
The F-22 is a supersonic combat-slash-stealth plane which is virtually undetectable by enemy radar.
The Raptors from the US Holloman Air Force Base are scheduled to conduct military exercises for about four months and an additional 12 Raptors could be stationed in Guam within a week.

A perfect storm brewing?

We have a major crisis developing in the Korean peninsula, Hezbollah itching to go to war against Isreal, Iran remaining defiant about its nuclear intentions and now a major loss of confidence in the Euro currency.
Anybody else think a huge storm is about to break? This summer could be very wild & hot and I dont just mean the weather!
