The Continuing Adventures Kim Jong-un and North Korea

Army Chief of Staff Says US Is Taking North Korea’s Threats Seriously But Warns Against Misjudging America’s Capability:
Army Chief of Staff General Raymond Odierno spoke exclusively with Jamie Colby about the threats from North Korea. The United States has sent assets to the region, including two of the Navy’s missile-defense ships which were moved closer to the Korean Peninsula.
Top US military officer says Pentagon making moves in case of further North Korea provocations:
The top U.S. military officer said Sunday the Pentagon had bolstered its missile defenses and taken other steps because he “can’t take the chance” that North Korea won’t soon engage in some military action. 
Heightened tensions with North Korea led the United States to postpone congressional testimony by the chief U.S. commander in South Korea and delay an intercontinental ballistic missile test from a West Coast base.
North Korea may be preparing to test missile, South Korea says:
A top South Korean national security official said Sunday that North Korea may be setting the stage for a missile test or another provocative act with its warning that it soon will be unable to guarantee diplomats' safety in Pyongyang. But he added that the North's clearest objective is to extract concessions from Washington and Seoul.
Top U.S. general says tensions too high to leave Korea to testify on Capitol Hill:
Gen. James Thurman, the head of U.S. Forces Korea, has delayed his planned visit to Capitol Hill this week due to heightened tensions on the Korean peninsula. 
Thurman was scheduled to begin testifying Tuesday before multiple Senate and House committees about the situation in which the totalitarian North Korean government has declare a “state of war” on neighboring South Korea. Kim Jong Un -- North Korea’s new, young leader -- has also said he would restart nuclear reactors.
