The Japanese government announced last month the results of its review of the Kono Statement, which concerned the Japanese military’s sexual crimes concerning so-called “comfort women” during World War II. Interestingly, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s Cabinet initially made a fuss about the government’s plan to verify the Kono Statement, but the results that were ultimately released were not particularly noteworthy; they were even somewhat ridiculous.
In its announcement of the results of the Kono Statement verification, the Japanese government made no mention of the truth of the statement, but exaggerated an adjustment in drafting the statement between Japan and South Korea. Through the verification efforts, however, Japan tried to come up with something to suit the naysayers, but it could not entirely deny the historical facts or the victims’ testimonies upon which the Kono Statement was based.
The Kono Statement, which was issued in 1993, is a historic document in which the Japanese government first admitted, with an apology, that the Japanese military was directly involved in gathering, transporting and managing “comfort women” for the benefit of Japanese soldiers. Japan’s cowardly move to injure the integrity of the Kono Statement has infuriated the Korean people. Furthermore, the verification of the Kono Statement cannot be viewed as just a Korea-Japan diplomatic problem. The problem concerns not only Korea but also other Asian nations such as Indonesia, China, the Philippines, and Malaysia, which all suffered Japanese aggression at the time. Indeed, more than 2,000 Indonesian women were reportedly forced into prostitution by the Japanese military during World War II.
Moreover, a few days ago, the Abe Cabinet issued a resolution that would allow Japan to go to war against other nations. Thus, we should consider the underlying intention of the Japanese government in its attempt to cover up the issue of the “comfort women” despite the protests and criticism from other regional countries. In particular, we still hold vivid memories of the suffering experienced due to Japan’s aggression and colonial rule; many of the women are still alive, so we must not let the problem pass without being resolved.

Dangerous Kim Jong-un's Nuke Domino Effect
Hi , look at above picture. Is it possible to have nuke domino effect by Kim jong-un?
South Korea president Park Geunhye warned on nuclear domino dffect, especially by North Korea's bomb test . Okey Dokey. Then, by whom?
It may be from Japan. You are right. There is high possibility that Japan would start to arm itself with nuclear weapons. Reportedly Japnan has 45tons of plutonium which could make 5000 nuke bomb and hi-tech. Now Japan is under threat by China while they have had conflict over Senkaku Islands.
If Kim Jong-un take and succeed the 4th nuke test, will it be possible for Japan to refrain itself from the temptation of developing nuclear weapons? No, I don't think so.
Additionally, Japan is located within the range of NK's long missile firing and they have the cause to get armed by nuke weapons.
Going one more step, if Japan got armed itself with nuclear weapons , then what would Taiwan and South Korea do next? Both countries also had the experience of developing nuke weapon.
In case of the situation which Taiwan and South Korea start to develop nuclear bomb to protect themselves from the neighboring threat of North Korea, China and Japan armed with nuke weapons, how can the U.S engage in to block them? Frankly speaking, it is not easy to hold them.
Let it be there? It might be the trigger for a diaster to the earth.
In this context, the role of China which has the Achilles tendonis of North Korea is very important.
It's a little sorroful, but it depend on China whether the earth will be fallen to ruin or not.
One of the worst leaders in the world : Kim Jong-un
North Korea's mercurial autocrat
After being mentored by one of history’s more ruthless dictators, Kim Jong Il, Kim Jong Un spent his first year in power kicking North Korea’s tires. He put its citizens through a wringer of drills, parades, maneuvers and alerts. He also tested the region and the world with missile launches and, in early 2013, a nuclear detonation. But he seems to have moved on to the extravagance phase — partying on a pleasure island, adopting a wayward former NBA player — without perhaps dwelling enough on survival. The detention of an American tourist and the killing of his uncle Jang Song Thaek jeopardized much needed business contracts and foreign-currency streams. These actions also distanced China, a key ally, and bolstered South Korean President Park Geun-hye’s hardening line with the North.Most important, Kim’s disregard for a desperately poor citizenry raises the eternal North Korean question: How much suffering can human beings tolerate? Unless he starts taking care of his people, the young generalissimo may be the first Kim to find out.
Is Kim Jongun really a devil incarnate?
Is Kim Jongun really a devil incarnate? For him, it looks like hunting a game to kill a man. Of course, he disguises his slaughtering as legal. Howerver, when he chases a game and kills it, he shows a kind of madness and ecstasy. There is no remorse and any hesitation.
Three months ago North Korean crasy leader Kim Jong-un purged his former mentor and uncle-in-law Jang Sung-tae and also put to death all his family members including the children and grandchildren of close relatives of Jang. Those reportedly killed in Kim's purge include Jang's sister Jang Kye-sun, her husband and ambassador to Cuba, Jon Yong-jin, and Jang's nephew and ambassador to Malaysia, Jang Yong-chol. The nephew's two sons were also said to have been killed.

Reportedly Kim Jong-Un publicly executes 80 people in North Korea for "reading bible and watching foreing television. Certainly, they didn't take no proper judicial procedure. They were executed in North Korea at seven different locations across the country. In the first large scale public executions of the Kim Jong-un terror regime, groups of eight people were systematically slaughtered by firing squad. This is the horror of North Korea.
In view of this facts, Kim Jongun is a live devil made by totalitarianism and cruel dictorship.
We shouln't close our eyes to his inhumane atrociies. He must be indicted to ICC for mass slaughtering and be removed forever.
Did United States forget the lesson of the Attack on Pearl Harbor?
United states is now situated on the verge of making the same mistake
that it made 72 years ago and drove the U.S. into world war II when Japan attacked
Pearl Harbor in 1941. Because of the attack, eight U.S. Navy battleships
including USS Arizona were severely damaged or sunk, 188 U.S. aircraft were
destroyed and 2,402 Americans were killed.
Fortunately 3 aircraft-carriers which was not anchoed at the harbor, fuel and torpedo storage facilities as well as the submarine piers were not destroyed. And the U.S. could prepare the war by using them utmost and took counter-attacks. At Pearl Harbor there is USS Arizona Memorial not to forget the battle and the victims.
By the way, nowadays President Obama and the U.S. citizens are going to forget the Pearl Harbor lesson. Why did I say like this? It is because of the misjudgement of United states for Japan's pursuit of collective self-defense right. Ostensibly Japan stresses that every country has its collective self-defense right and they can take part in international peace efforts, but the real intention is another. It maybe get rid of the shackle on Japanese armed force by altering its interpretation of the war-renouncing constitution or revising the constitution.
As far as I know, the U.S. is going to allow Japan to go forward collective self-defese plan. Of course, United States administration has the purpose of using it as a restraining influence to cope with Chinese military expansion. It will act as a effective card shortly to hold China in check. However, in the long-term viewpoint it is very dangerous for the U.S. to untie the rein on Japan. I think Japan is just like a Godzilla. In the era of the 2nd Warld war, they built aircraft-carriers and submarines. Many analysts suggest that Japan stored much uranium and technique which will able to make a lot of nuke weapons in a short time. Anyway, once unreined, you can't re-tie the rein forever.
Additionally it is not the right time for Japan to push collective self-defense. Japan should first restore trust with its neighboring states, particularly South Korea and China, the major victims of its past militarism. South Korea and China have watched Japan’s military armament with great suspicion. Seoul’s concern is that with the right of collective self-defense, Japanese troops could set foot on the peninsula again. South Korea and Japan has been conflicting each other over Dokdo island now.
You Know? Japanese is historically very weak to the strong but very strong to the weak. If they become free to use armed force and get stronger, someday you will be attacked by them. That is to say, it is just like penny-wise and pound-foolish! Please don't forget the Pearl Harbor lesson.

Kim Jongun's Masikryung Ski-Resort being Mocked by International Society
According to Reuters, Switzerland has banned the sale to North Korea of equipment for a
luxury ski resort named Masikryung because North Korea is under U.N. sanctions. So Kim Jong-un got angry at the country. But that is the reality of North Korea. At any rate, North Korean leader
Kim Jung-un, who studied under an assumed name in the Swiss capital Berne and is
believed to have gone on school ski trips in the Alps, perhaps wants to develop leisure
activities.
By the way, here is the problem. It was also reported that Italy and Austria have imposed export ban on the ski equipment to the North, citing The neutral country's sanctions list for the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) also includes equipment for golf, horseback riding, water sports, billiards and casinos, as well as luxury watches, jewellery, caviar, perfume and artworks.
In this situation Kim Jong-un had big talks that the Masikryung ski resort would be one of the best in the world and would complete the construction of it. However, there is a big snag in his plan because of this export ban. By the way, I wonder that why he want to have that kind of big luxury ski resort in North Korea and why a nation's government and army troop is so involved in constructing a ski resort that many people and organizations are forced to be mobilized and to do labor while other country only a company can do. The most important thing is who will use it. According to the U.N.'s World Food Programme, almost North Korean children are stunted due to malnutrition.
For the impoverished socialist nation, skiing is regarded as a luxury sport for select people in the higher echelons, which the general public is unable to access. In fact, the admission fee is around 8000won which is nearly amount to as much money as one third of a teacher's salery in North Korea. Maybe nobody but some priveleged high class citizens can use this ski-resort. Korean leader Kim Jong-un spends too much money in his personal leisure and showing off.

North Korea is the main cause of Syrian Chemical Killings
According to Syria's main opposition group, more than 1,300 people have been killed in a chemical weapons attack. It's a real tragedy. Now a UN inspectors team was sent to investigate whether chemical weapons have been used in the conflict by President Bashar al Assad's forces.
By the way, it has been reported that North Korea military is involved in the Syrian civil war and has provided Syrian government with chemical weapons and technology. So to speak, North Korea allegedly played a decisive role in arming the Syrian regime with chemical weapons. There is strongly backing evidences. In November 2009, a cargo ship bound for Syria was caught at Piraeus Port in Greece carrying North Korean chemical weapons-related materials including about 20,000 pieces of protective clothing for atomic, biological and chemical warfare. An expert claimed the North has dispatched chemical weapons experts there and
coached how to use the chemical weapons since the mid-1990s. It is known that North Korea is one of three countries which possess amount of chemical weapons in the world.
Besides, North Korean Army chief Gen. Kim Kyok-sik who had worked as an assistant military attache at the North Korean Embassy in Damascus for about 10 years is one of the key figures behind the military connection between North Korea and Syria. Allegedly some dozen North Korean military officers were seen working with Syrian government troops on the northern battlefield of Halab. Perhaps North Korean military experts were likely to provide key assistance to the Assad government’s chemical weapons and nuclear weapon programs. It has long been under secret. However, by this chemical atrocities they finally revealed their long tail of covert dead operation.
What do you think of the North Korea-Syria military connection? Now international society are in a hurry trying to punish Syria. Then, should we leave North Korea undone?
