Aye, thanks for the links HT, I'll have a butchers at them tomorrow.
It is a big guessing game though, even some of the North Korean high command probably doesn't know what's going on. Is the 'Dear Leader' still alive? Or is the DPRK now being run by a junta of military generals?
Would the DPRK dare to cross the DMZ and risk war? Or is it trying to brinkmanship itself into a new set of concessions?
One thing is for certain, when this is officially announced as a torpedo attack by the North, which it'll have to be confirmed as either Chinese or DPRK attack (and I can't see the PLAN having anything to do with it), then there's going to be some serious tension between the two Koreas. The South Korean public is already crying out for vengeance, and I don't think tighter trade restrictions is going to do it for them...
