"this is the beginning of a third world war" Come on guys, try to relax a bit, North Korea has stated those waters belonged to it long ago, way before this confrontation. Also, despite what the news article said, everyone knew as soon as the artillery was fired that it was because of them firing into the alleged North Korean waters, despite North Korea not saying so until now. North Korea has no argument, after all the armistice was signed that stated those waters were South Korean. If North Korea does declare war, it will be the world versus North Korea, and because of this, war isn't going to happen anytime soon. So everyone just take a breather, although war could start at any time between the countries, the same could be said of any other two countries. | ||

But no really North korea isnt going to chill out and start being peaceful and normal until it has a new governement. And that isnt happening anytime soon. I Honestly think of north korea as a high school teenage girl. Starting drama and whatever else it possibly can to be the center of drama. Oh well. | ||

There's actually a laser already being developed that does exactly that... not instantly though, it needs to hit the target for a few seconds before it blows up but the idea is basically there... it can lock on to several targets not surprising that it's made by amerikans though | ||

A friend of mine is going into the army next month and had zero knowledge of what has been happening in these Korean conflicts. So I told him about it all, and a lot of the propaganda, he was wildly surprised and looked kind of worried. I hope nothing happens, but eventually something is going to have to happen with N. Korea. I just hope the innocent people of both country's don't suffer to much. Even though N. Korea's innocent suffer more then they should already. | ||

Think about it historically. In the past any time the North did something rash what happened? The US and South Korea appeased them, sent in food aid or fuel (which was diverted to the government), all in the name of defusing the situation. The North kept up this pattern for years and all was kosher. Now the US and ROK governments are basically saying "go fuck yourself" whenever NK comes calling. As a result they do something even more rash and confrontational, repeat ad nausium until you reach a point where either concession or military retaliation is inevitable. Problem is bombing the North isn't going to do anything. Kim Jong-il and his cadres don't give a damn about their people's lives, and they have enough artillery pointed at Seoul to do great damage to the city. KJI is playing a dangerous game here. Three things can happen, two of which are bad for him. Right now the average NK citizen isn't exactly praising his leadership, and the more time goes on the greater the resistance will become. If further provocation causes the US/ROK to yield and appease the North, it's a long term loss for them. Sure the party gets propped up a while longer, but the average citizen will see none of it. On the other hand the KPA could underestimate their adversaries and provoke a full on theater war. Considering they still use equipment the Soviet Union discarded long ago this won't end well for them. This also limits their ability to damage Seoul, as full scale warfare will involve many air raids, and with the use of stealth aircraft most of the arty can be taken out. Many lives will be lost, it's a no win scenario, but the North loses way worse in a full scale war. Where the North wins is in the event of a limited war. Think along the lines of the Israeli attacks a few years back. Such a war will probably involve air campaigns with limited to no ground invasion (boots on the ground in NK, especially American ones, will almost certainly provoke a full war). Militarily it will be meaningless, but it will be a massive propaganda victory. KJI will finally have proof positive that the US imperialist warmongering pig-dogs and the south Korean puppets seek to destroy the glorious fatherland (worst, KNCA impression, ever). Much of the dissent seen within the military and privileged of the North will vanish. The effects on the unlucky majority who can't eat, that cannot be predicted. To sum up: I think this is mostly bluster, and pray they don't do anything stupid. Two consecutive attacks would indicate a suicidal level of aggression, which is not really KJI's style. Unless he is losing control of the military, I suspect nothing will come of this. If, God forbid, KJI has lost control of the army then anything is on the table. | ||

Western and Korean media in this news story's case simply mold the stories to their liking to incite public opinion so it is hard to say what is really happening between North and South Korea. It is important to note that American Capitalist corruption runs deep in the world and it seems as if North Korea is one of the few bastions of socialism. Yes, North Korea is not perfect, but their cause is noble and one must respect that. | ||
