North Korea threatens U.S. bases in Japan

Unabated tension on the Korean Peninsula, the latest development in the already difficult situation was the threat from Pyongyang to hit U.S. bases in Japan with atomic vectors, in retaliation to the flights made by U.S. bombers B-52, capable of carry nuclear weapons, measuring perceived by North Korea as a threat to their country. While not the first time that U.S. planes then carried out exercises in the skies of the Korean peninsula, the emphasis given to Washington this true their show of force exhibited in response to the nuclear test by North Korea in Seoul and also to demonstrate its commitment in the defense of South Korea, has caused a severe reaction from the state hermit, who joined this provocation toughening of sanctions. It should be added that the entire country of North Korea is in a state of general mobilization, which applies to both military and civilians. North Korea feels under siege because of joint exercises between the U.S. and South Korea, which, in the eyes of Pyongyang, constitute the dress rehearsal for the invasion of the country. The threat to U.S. bases also affects Japan, on whose soil is home to the military installations, risking a further enlargement of the crisis, increasing the radius of instability in the region. According to most analysts, however, the growing threats of the Pyongyang regime should not follow the facts, the North Korean tactics is only to raise the voltage to try to reduce the economic sanctions that Stan put in crisis the country. However, it was a long time that did not happen so explicit threats to use nuclear weapons and the United States, even with all the caveats of the case, they prove to be alert and not to underestimate North Korea, which could potentially make a desperate act also due to the state of prostration of its population. Meanwhile, information about the attack waged against South Korea, Pyongyang to cast the responsibility on China, rejecting any wrongdoing. While Beijing remains silent is once again analyzed the behavior of North Korea to its major ally. It's like watching a progressive deterioration of relations between the two countries, the thing is illogical because without China, North Korea would have its days numbered. The situation may, however, be read in the light of a game at a table prepared by Beijing, which wants to maintain control over sea routes, and that could lead to a solution to surprise so as to stabilize the area and together reduce the American presence. A subtle political game in which Pyongyang committed could earn working in China, thanks to the cheap labor that would be able to provide. This is a scenario anything but fiction.
