That twitter accounts fake. He's just writing what AP say and making shit up. He's NOT USING MBC!!!!!! IE "NK preparing to fire artillery at Seoul" South Korean's are evacuating from Seoul... I'm talking in another forum right now and a person living in seoul right is not getting any of this. the LIVE MBC broadcast isn't saying whats written on that account either.
But it is true the 2nd person is dead.

Yeah, really waiting on US response which should happen in about 20-30 minutes. Although all I'm expecting is Obama to sternly point his finger at NK with furrowed eyebrows and something about wanting peace.
Despite the irritated overtone of that statement, it's SK's ultimate decision. It's their fight, and we're there (or at least we should be) to follow them.

Yeah totally, because US soldiers can fly and see through walls.
Besides the retarded misquote on your part, if you refuse to acknowledge the difference you're either trolling or just blatantly stupid. There's a reason the US can go in somewhere with less manpower and come out with less casualties. US soldiers were insanely effective in comparison to Iraqi soldiers, who often didn't even have sufficient training because they didn't want to waste ammunition supplies. US soldiers are also better equipped, overall more prepared, more hardened, etc. Utter joke to even consider otherwise if you're comparing to something like NK.

BBC says it is the most serious military provocation by NK since the Korean war in 1950.

At this point any initial reaction by any country other than the two Korean countries would be to call both Korean countries to calm down and resolve the issue peacefully.
Edit: probably with the Western countries putting the blame on NK and NK's allies staying as neutral as possible.

Hey guys, PLEASE stop quoting LiveNewsWire. They are really full of bs at the moment. It will just cause confusion among TL. Can't believe someone would be spreading rumors at a serious situation like this...
I hope everything works out. My relatives are there...

Well lets not forget 46 people died in March when a SK ship was sunk and SK believes it was sunk by an NK torpedo.

Soldiers attacking soldiers is one thing but when you start attacking civilians that's just crossing a line...

The question isn't so much "Was it N. Korea?" as "Who else could it have been?"

Can you say it's a provocation when NK completely denies it though? Literally a question, not rhetorical. Can you..?

I don't think war is going to happen. SK is a country that DOES NOT WANT WAR. NOBODY wants it. They want reunification but in a peaceful way. SK has worked hard to become a leader in the world economy. War would bring the country a decade or two back.

You don't seem to understand that the power of US soldiers don't come from individual training, it comes from logistics. They have better reckon, better communications, better organization. It's not like the soldiers are individually better.

Care to tell me what the Iraqi troop uniform looks like?
It's okay, I'll wait.
That's right because you haven't ever seen an iraqi soldier, because we aren't over there kill soldiers we're killing kids in bath robes, with flip flops and a farmer's hat.
