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?

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.

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
