If you feel the need to worry today, might I recommend NK or Iran?
After all this crazy blogging this week, I'm kind of enjoying the quiet, but if you really need something to worry about....
Bill Gertz has a single sourced paragraph talking about Israel using nukes on Iran, soon. I would guess this is all part of the diplomatic dance at the Iran meeting today, where
So, in the face of a rigid Chinese/Russian block, a small item of threat is placed in an influential Defense column.
Also, in the Telegraph, North Korea could conduct a nuclear test this Sunday. What is that? "Could?" The statement was made a second tier Japanese diplomatic figure with no national security credentials. (Also probably tied to diplomatic efforts.)
If you want to worry, there it is.

Russia said it agreed with China no ultimatum should be issued to Iran over its nuclear program, underlining divisions as world powers met on Friday to discuss U.S. and British proposals for possible sanctions.

"I really believe the Israelis are going to strike [Iran's] several uranium processing factories soon. They cannot survive a first strike. This time, unlike when they sent eight F-16s to destroy the Iraqi reactor Osirak, I think they will use the Jericho missiles and the submarine-launched, nuclear-tipped Tomahawks to do nuclear strikes. Most of the factories are 150 meters underground and too deep for bunker busters."
Eep.

I really think at this point, this is bargaining for the talks. Gertz is one of those special case journalists that has great sources because he has great ties inside the military.
I also thought the inclusion of the US supplied Tomahawks in the threat was interesting.
