The suspected North Korean arms-carrying ship Kang Nam 1, now underway south of Taiwan, is not headed for Myanmar (Burma)... at least so says the Myanmar junta.
This obviously doesn't mean much at face value, but to think that the junta felt it necessary to say that does beg some new questions:
If not there, then where?
If not there, then why anywhere?
After all, faking a loading of the ship in plain sight of satellite cameras and putting it to sea as an intentional attempt to draw out an incident is a possibility.
So, let's take this from the beginning again, just to be careful.
Who gains by that ship being at sea, being suspected, and being hailed for an inspection?

Today' The Irrawaddy has this report, where they aren't buying into the junta's denial. They suppose that an arrival at the Myanmar International Terminals Thilawa (MITT) could somehow be made secure enough to keep away prying eyes. We'll see about that.

logicaly, it looks like this, NK has to know about out reconnaissance abilities, why not do like the drug lords, while this is still a big deal, were not looking at whats happening behind the curtain. think about it, KJI is a short little twat, but hes not stupid, if you wrecked the national economy to make a nuke, would you put in on a boat, send it off to sea, where you are certain that it will eventually be found? no, it would go by land, much more security in that route.
