Aloha Hawaii
Hawaii is the most likely target for a nuclear show of strength by the North Korean's whenever they actually manage to get their long range missile program up and running - I estimate somewhere between 12 and 24 months from now. If they choose to destroy a strategic urban or industrial target in either China, Japan, South Korea, or say Alaska, they will be provoking not only possible nuclear retaliation, but most likely prolonged conventional warfare on their borders. Not even the North Koreans want anything quite as messy as a real war. They are more interested in asserting their autonomy, primarily with respect to the United States, and in maybe reclaiming South Korea.By hitting Hawaii, they leave...
Oahu Secret: Laniakea Beach
Just about one and a half mile from the Old Haleiwa Town on Kamehameha Highway in the island of Oahu is a feeding ground for the green sea turtles, the Laniakea beach. Once you arrive there, there are branches and shrubs covering a good portion of the beach. It almost seems as if someone had gone through a great deal in order to hide this beach from the public, especially when you see the signs and banners being behind the shrubs and branches where the drivers passing by on the two way lane won't be able to see much of the turtle signs. Maybe this was someone's idea of keeping the crowd away from the beach. Nevertheless, this beach is very crowded on many days throughout the year with people...
