North and South Korea are at it again
 

/facepalm

I mean seriously..... wtf?

I know they're still technically still at war and all, but c'mon, shelling a presumably innocent village for no reason?

Welcome to warfare.

So the north Koreans show a U.S Scientist their latest uranium enrichment plant ,then a few days later they shell a south Korean village!,some how I don't think its a coincidence - I'm waiting to see what the Norths going to demand now.

Oh no doubt something totally unreasonable, bordering on totally bat<censored> crazy. But with the US overextended militarily, and the EU frankly being almost spineless when it comes to war (like most of the western world), NK knows it will get away with it.

It's not the first time and no doubt it won't be the last. Let's hope they can keep a lid on it and not allow it to escalate into something nobody wants to contemplate.:nope:

Now North Korea are saying the South fired first, and this was in apparent retaliation.
Not quite, as even the Chinese are calling for more talks between the 2 countries.

Can't really envy South Korea. Seems to me they won't start any serious hostilities because they don't have anything to win, yet much to lose. And I'm not even talking about casualties or possibility of the North Koreans starting a guerilla war. In the long run getting rid of a nation like North Korea would probably be the best for all, but it's difficult to justify the price of it with abstract altruistic long term goals.

And it's not like the North wouldn't know this :nope:.

in china we have a joke: south korea shall win the war with McDonalds
but really, in north and south Korea unite the strain on the south's economy is huge

Well, people have said that of the two Germanies back in the day; it certainly turned out to be very true, but in the end the reunified country more or less coped with it. I think from incidents like this, South Korea would agree that reunifying would be better than living with these wackos in power to the North.

Man, they're really off their chain this time, aren't they...

I bet Bush got a hard on last night.....

Oh, only if Sarah Palin were President...:haha:

Well, NK wants something and we'll give it to them....

Not sure about all the end times stuff, but damn starting to wonder. Seems this worlds gonna bring it on itself in 20 years or less..Gonna go study that Mayan Calendar and run by the dent can store and stock up.

yeah we need someone to step up to the mark and teach those North Karolinians a lesson.
Though I think she might just quit half way through the invasion.

Reports I saw indicated South Korea was engaged in live fire exercises nearby. Said missiles were fired but went west not north but it didn't say where exactly. Unfortunately the North used it as an excuse for a trigger happy response. What an mess this is.

Yeonpyeong island...why oh why am I not surprised? After the Cheonan I guess this was inevitable. They're getting bold now because they know they can get away with it, and Yeonpyeong is slap bang (pardon the expression) off the coast of the DPRK, no more than...what...twelve clicks from the shores of North Korea? Prime target.

I read that the South Korean defense minister is in talks with the US to bring back tactical nukes to the Korean Peninsula. :hmmm:
