Fortunately, North Korea is not in a position to take on both the United States, as it is a direct ally to South Korea, nor is it in a position to expand towards China. As for the tragedy itself, I hope my folks are doing all right over there :[ WW2 and Korean relations are totally different. NK is a brainwashed country led by the upper echelon of the national party. Almost everything they do is done to continue to grasp that power. It's all theatrics to them. | ||

Despite the supposed superiority Vietnam, the Middle Eastern wars, and the first Korean war did not show America winning (which didn't happen in 2/3 of the list) with ease. To all you people crying for war and thinking it's going to be similar to something of a steamroll please be realistic, the Koreans would have home ground advantage and that advantage is quite deadly. yup i agree with you, i just think the modern american soldier as well as the modern american military is superior than the rest of the world | ||

It was 1 hour ago exactly that they returned fire not "hours" i understand your trying to downplay the situation and i respect that somebody asked and i was just replying with information that i had read just like everyone else is doing - trying to figure whats going on Sorry, the link was just no longer relevant to your statement. You weren't making anything up. I apologize. | ||

FLASH - S.korea's defence ministry says this is an "intentional and planned attack"; clearly a violation armistice with North Korea That I agree on, however the question is what will be the response to this violation. | ||

It's not like the discussion is completely irrelevant. Where do you suggest the discussion go? I'm all ears, I'm just following this topic as it's the most interesting thing (BY FAR) at the moment that has occurred in a while. Ironically I'm writing a 7 page paper on international issues (that can involve military crisis) and I'm writing it on the goddamn China/Japan territory dispute. Would love to change subjects but it's due tomorrow and topics had to get approved... feels terrible writing on something so seemingly small in comparison. PS. Question not rhetorical. If people want to change the discussion I won't keep talking about soldiers. It's just nothing else discussable has really come up except people trying to post updates or clarifying on what's happening. Not attempting to troll or flamebait. PSS. Thus an apology to those who feel I was derailing. | ||

Almost everything they do is done to continue to grasp that power. It's all theatrics to them. I'm pretty sure Nazi Germany was a largely brainwashed country led by the upper echelon of the national party too. The difference is that Germany had assets and the ability to muster an army and it had good geographic positioning to launch attacks across Europe. North Korea doesn't have the same assets and they certainly have no way to expand geographically. | ||
