Not good.

Chosun Ilbo is saying about 200 shells were fired at 2:34 PM.

The South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff issued a statement that they will exercise South Korea's right to defend itself and return fire.

[Shanadeus]

I'm glad I don't live in either Korea.

Or the U.S.

Or Japan

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

What provoked this? :/

Roneriness.

 

[BertramCooper]

Nah, if anything, its Kim Il-Aun trying to assert his control over the military in an extraordinarily stupid way.

Which one is Kim Il-Aun?

 

[expy]

What are they waiting for?

 

[El Sloth]

Well, looks like the US is headed for having THREE Wars.

Shit completely forgot about that.The U.S. has an obligation to help the South out if they get into it with the North, don't we?

Which one is Kim Il-Aun?

Isn't he the Kim Spawn set to take over after his good 'ol pops kicks the bucket? The one that was recently promoted to general or something?

 

[Agentnibs]

It had to happen at some point....

 

[cnizzle06]

Pop culture reference

Ah.

 

[TacticalFox88]

But then again, I don't think we should be TOO worried until we see troops crossing the border....then shit will hit the fan.

 

[AlexMogil]

Sounds like this isn't a new event?

http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2010/11/23/world/asia/AP-AS-Koreas-Tension.html?_r=1&hp

Exactly, this seems like provocation and saber rattling. But how many times is this going to happen?

 

[Talon]

Sounds like this isn't a new event?

http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2010/11/23/world/asia/AP-AS-Koreas-Tension.html?_r=1&hp

A few years ago there was a boat that was fired at and returned fire.

Earlier this year was the naval ship taken down by a torpedo.

 

[big_z]

What provoked this? :/

k-pop

 

[Ogrekiller]

Is BoA SNSD okay?

Face it, thats why NK did it, right?

 

[donkey show]

Dear God, save the K-Pop.

Have Taeyeon pull some Lynn Minmay action to disorient the North soldiers.

 

[speedpop]

But then again, I don't think we should be TOO worried until we see troops crossing the border....then shit will hit the fan.

I think this will be it, really.

The media and commentators will probably talk this up as the next big thing, but until either side sends infantry and armored units in an invasion capacity then we won't see much. Unless of course North Korea are stupidly dumb and lob a nuke over.

 

[BertramCooper]

Isn't he the Kim Spawn set to take over after his good 'ol pops kicks the bucket? The one that was recently promoted to general or something?

That's Kim Jong-un.

 

[RustyNails]

wtf, where are cheaply painted glorious Dear leader posters of lil kim in this thread? Gaf, I am disappoint.

 

[BudokaiMR2]

Honestly I wish some GI JOE shit would go down
and the world would just get the fuck in there.

We are waaaay beyond the point where this will resolve itself. That country is just going to get worse and kill its self.

 

[ChocolateCupcakes]

This is bad.

 

[farnham]

This better not fuck with GSL.

once the dearest leader takes over GSL will be replaced with a north korean version of starcraft i hear.

 

[El Sloth]

That's Kim Jong-un.

Ah, my bad. Too many of these kooky bastards to keep track of.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Well, looks like the US is headed for having THREE Wars.

Depends how you classify Iraq.

 

[Ogrekiller]

Have Taeyeon pull some Lynn Minmay action to disorient the North soldiers.

Fuck that, send Jessica.

[ConfusingJazz]

Which one is Kim Il-Aun?

Kim Jung-Il's kid who is trying to make a successful transferal of power from his ailing father to himself. Even in a fucked up cult like dictatorship like North Korea, it is still a rough process that you have to prove to your generals that its not worth it to either overthrow you nor defect to the other side.

Its hard to replace a god.

Also, sorry, forgot my Kims.

 

[Salazar]

Have Taeyeon pull some Lynn Minmay action to disorient the North soldiers.

Variety Show Squadron ACTIVATE.

 

[Finaika]

Not another SNSD thread.

 

[BigJonsson]

Oh fuck, I just shelled Seoul in Civ 5

Oops



But really, I'm sure this won't result in all-out war but you never know

 

[Haunted]

They're still officially at war, right?

This better not fuck with GSL.

!

 

[Lebron]

I demand Justice

 

[donkey show]

Fuck that, send Jessica.

That'll work too. :lol

 

[El Sloth]

Fuck that, the U.S. military has enough on their plate without having to deal with a fucking Chinese backed North Korea. I doubt any other country wants to deal with that mess either.

 

[TacticalFox88]

They're still officially at war, right?



!

Technically, they've been at war for 50 years.

 

[whytemyke]

send in Rain!

 

[RBH]

I demand Justice

I see what you did there.

Spoiler

And I don't like it.

 

[LiK]

Shit just got real.

We need to evacuate SNSD

 

[jambo]

 

[Jex]

That wasn't very clever, N.K. Posturing is one thing, actually shelling is just stupid.

 

[BertramCooper]

Fuck that, the U.S. military has enough on their plate without having to deal with a fucking China backed North Korea. I doubt any other country wants to deal with that mess either.

I get the feeling that North Korea is relying too heavily on China's backing when they pull shit like this.

In China's view, is this little asshole of a country really worth jeopardizing their diplomatic and trade relationships?

 

[TacticalFox88]

Fuck that, the U.S. military has enough on their plate without having to deal with a fucking China backed North Korea. I doubt any other country wants to deal with that mess either.

And if that's not enough, the US military believes Russia and China are in a Military alliance, and if China helps....oh, FUCK! God help us all. Seriously.

 

[Sibylus]

Hopeful that the wise will break off tit for tat before this draws in other powers and escalates beyond all containment.

 

[RustyNails]

Fuck it, I'll do the propoganda posters

"When provoking a war of aggression, we will hit back, beginning with the US!"

“Do not forget the US imperialist wolves!”

and

“Let’s extensively raise goats in all families!”

 

[Bossniak]

Shit just got real.

We need to evacuate SNSD

They are good, they flew to Japan yesterday.

Tiffany maybe not.

 

[speedpop]

There's no reasonable reason as to head down in there outside of ousting an insane dictator who has held onto power for way too long over a country full of citizens that are oppressed...

 

[BigJonsson]

Any reports of deaths from the attack?

 

[BocoDragon]

I have many friends in Korea... this is not "cool" news. I'm worried.

 

[Jenga]

activision just trademarked call of duty and any possible combo title with korea

korean ops
korean warfare

and so on

Why does this seem so familiar....
