Man...
I was afraid of another World War starting...
:shakes head:

I was just reading about that

Not cool!

bump

200 artillery rounds fired into a South Korean island.

The insanity... Lets hope this doesn't get too crazy.

Well we sent a fleet of ships there for war games with south korea now

This is going to get interesting real quick


DAN

It's very unlikely anything will actually happen. There's too much risk for escalation.

If the North didn't have nuclear capability (the current estimate is what... 10 warheads?) and wasn't backed by China you would have likely seen a fairly swift response to the sinking of the South's corvette from a few months ago and especially this shelling.

This is merely saber rattling by the North. They know that the South won't do anything in response so they feel free to wave their big stick whenever they feel like the time is right.

What annoys me is that we are still sending food aid to the North. We need to cut that off.

With any luck the Chinese will be able to talk some sense into the North. They generally support the North but have been rightfully embarrassed by recent actions.

We shall see, though. It seems as of late the North does something silly once every few months.

hmm

If this does escalate, not sure the US can soldier the responsibility given how stretched the millitary is to date, Iran, and the economy..... UN may need to to flex its muscle here without the US being the dominant player as always..

maybe

The UN flex its muscle?

:icon18:

"Here, North Korea, here's more food aid."

North Korea plays with guns and gets what it wants. It's like a little kid throwing a tantrum in a toy store.

The UN is not going to do $hit! But like Steve said, more food aid for them to get the money and use it for something else.

N. Korea is just looking for attention, they might be also running out of food which is one of the purpose the always to some stuff like that, so they ease on the sanctions.

Plus the supposed change in their country leadership.

From one crazy short little man with an inferiority complex to one even crazy short little young-man with an inferiority complex! Joy!
