I wonder if SK will retaliate with full force now. *worried
Why NK why?!
Well they let 46 sailors die with no retaliation. But it's harder for NK to deny shelling than a torpedo.

Dresden said:Any war against the North either goes full-on airstrikes like the Korean War--America dumped more bombs there than in the entire Pacific theater during WWII--or you get into a protracted struggled against North Korena insurgents. It'll likely be the latter because bombing cities with large civilian populations isn't media-friendly. It's easy to forget, but for North Koreans they still remember the dead from the Korean War, and it won't be as easy as just marching in to liberate the starving peasants.
Zzoram said:I hope SK has a lot of bunkers. They might as well evacuate the cities and have the US/SK obliterate NK once and for all. Every year that they stall, NK's ability to do damage increases. NK isn't going to collapse peacefully, and unless forcefields are really only a few years away, there is no point in stalling further.
Doubtful. Starting another World War on the account of a submarine and some burned houses would be foolish to the extreme. Sanctions and limited retaliation, probably.Jake. said:when do you say 'enough is enough'? like, NK already sunk a SK sub earlier this year and now this? bad example, but if russia was sinking US subs and then firing shells at hawaii; all hell would break loose.

Is it saying SK is retaliating now?

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?
Sure the DMZ is at full alert and on lock down and of course Obama is being woken up. You don't just shell a US ally and not tell the president about the situation.perfectchaos007 said:I wonder what's going on at the DMZ right now. It hasn't escalated to total chaos yet has it?

The US does not recognize North Korea as a nuclear state.xbhaskarx said:To those who are talking about an all out war:
Are you people not aware that North Korea has nuclear weapons?
Yes, the military doctrine of "mutually assured destruction" would suggest that neither side would resort to the use of nukes, but given how much more powerful the US military is than their military, a conventional war that threatened the regime could lead to a "use them or lose them" situation...
Basically what that means is the US can't just invade North Korea and overthrow the NK regime, because they would use their nukes to take out South Korea and Japan.

Why? Even 50s China granted Korea their own (commie) sovereignty. And 2010s China is far more interested in stability and safe economy.rpmurphy said:If anything happens, it would be Korean War again. Allies vs. NK, China doesn't give much of a damn except keeping the fighting within the Korean peninsula. People are delusional if they think China or any other country in the region would try for anything more than an insignificant land grab at best.
Thank god... hopefully this isn't just a coverup.farnham said:looks like the report that a soldier died was bogus
