Still, this stinks.
When I was reading that the information was provided by the Japanese I had a moment where I thought "60+ years ago who would have thought Japan would be helping us prevent an attack on Hawaii?" and "Who thought we'd have two Koreas and one wouldn't be our ally?" Furthermore with the historical issues between Japan and Korea(s) one might think Japan is the real target.

Since the fall of the Soviet Union I am continually confused as to how North Korea can still function (same with Cuba) without the support of the USSR.

ETA: I realize China gives North Korea support, but they've even cut back (they strengthened the border because so many North Koreans were escaping to defect to China) and as much as China likes to be communist and control their people, I think even China is getting a bit fed up with North Korean actions on the global level. If China seems like an awesome place to live with all their regulations, obviously North Korea is really unpleasant.
