This is the DEFCON Warning System. Alert status for 2 P.M. Thursday, April 25th, 2013. Condition Blue. DEFCON 4. Condition Blue. DEFCON 4. Condition Blue. DEFCON 4.
There are currently no imminent nuclear threats against the United States at this time, however there are events occurring in the world theatre which require closing monitoring.
Although joint war games continue in Korea between South Korea and the United States, both North Korea and the U.S. have backed off their aggressive rhetoric somewhat. This coupled with no troop movements or other indicators of pending offensive action gives reason to believe that the current crisis is beginning to ebb. We continue to caution the public that there is still potential for flare up due to both sides being on a hair-trigger alert and thus prudent preparation is still advised in the event of hostile action. Analysts also believe that North Korea will eventually take unannounced singular aggressive action sometime in the near future using conventional weapons, however this time South Korea has promised a stronger response.
Regarding the situation in North Korea, the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff is optimistic that China would curb North Korea's nuclear programme, despite a lack of evidence supporting such a view. Meanwhile, North Korea has moved two short range missile launchers into firing position.
China has announced plans for a second, larger aircraft carrier, while both Japan and China cluster around disputed islands. Japan has stated that it will expel China by force if China lands on the islands, while China has removed its commitment to a No First Use nuclear weapons policy from a recent white paper. China also has deployed an anti-ship ballistic missile on the coast facing Taiwan, expecting to utilize it against the United States in any regional conflict.
The DEFCON Warning System is a private enterprise which monitors world events and assesses nuclear threats against the United States by national entities. It is not affiliated with any government agency and does not represent the alert status of any military branch. The public should make their own evaluations and not rely on the DEFCON Warning System for any strategic planning. At all times, citizens are urged to learn what steps to take in the event of a nuclear attack.
If this had been an actual attack, the DEFCON Warning System will give radiation readings for areas that are reported to it. Your readings will vary. This system serves the Kettle Falls area of Northeast Washington. Official news sources will have radiation readings for your area.
