If South Korea or US decides that the time has passed for giving into bad behavior, duck and cover is the best advice to be given to Asia. Not likely yet.
 
I just saw on the news that a battleship was headed in the direction of Korea for a training exercise with the South Koreans. Whats going on!
All we KNOW, is what we HEAR.

We'll find-out....eventually.....

Fortunately.....The Chickenhawks are no-longer in The Oval Office.​

Ya know Mr. Shameful you might be on to something in regards to your link about the democrat lie that got us into Vietnam.
You got a NAME (for that Dem, at the Pentagon).....​

"On the night of Aug. 4, the Pentagon proclaimed that a second attack by North Vietnamese PT boats had occurred earlier that day in the Tonkin Gulf — a report cited by President Johnson as he went on national TV that evening to announce a momentous escalation in the war: air strikes against North Vietnam."

.....Or, is that just your ass, talkin'......again?? :eusa_eh:

It's not going to happen. President Obama has shown a willingness to use military force. Seriously..from misting the heads of Pirates holding a ship captain to escalting the war in Afghanistan, where has this guy backed down?

What he did in parking the navy close by, was a proportional response to a ridiculous situation.
 
From Heritage:

This is not the first time the North Koreans have threatened South Korea in the Yellow Sea (also called the West Sea). In August, the North fired 110 artillery shells near Yeonpyeong and another island. And in March, 46 sailors were killed when a North Korean torpedo sunk the Cheonan. Today’s artillery shelling furthers North Korea’s tactical objectives of asserting sovereignty over the West Sea Area. But, more importantly, it furthers the North’s strategic escalating pattern of provocations designed to force the United States and South Korea to abandon pressure tactics, including sanctions on the regime. The White House must not give into these tactics.

Pyongyang’s actions, including this weekend’s revelations of a covert uranium enrichment facility, are designed to weaken U.S. and South Korean resolve and force the U.S. back to Six Party Talks on nuclear negotiations; which is exactly what China called on the U.S. to do after today’s incident. So far the U.S. and South Korean governments have properly resisted North Korean demands and they must continue to do so. That the Chinese continue to abet the North Korean’s tactics should also make us think long and hard about the sort of partner/competitor we face with China.

But this incident is also another reminder of the White House’s misplaced priorities. While Obama spends every waking second using Chicago-style tactics to press for ratification of the New START nuclear deal with Russia, North Korea is running amok. New START offers the US no new tools to deal with Iran and North Korea which are the clear and present danger. Instead, all New START does is tie our military’s hands by limiting our capacity to build the missile defense systems necessary to deal with these regimes. The President should spend less time hawking flawed treaties to justify his Nobel Peace Prize and invest more time in fighting for peace against America’s enemies.

Kim Jong-Il is dying. His presence on this Earth isn't long. His son is flexing his tyranical muscles...and we shouldn't give in. Just stiffen the sanctions...
 
This is what we get for not finishing up the job the first time... Sounds a bit like Iraq, huh?

Yep. And I don't expect China to put pressure on the puppet either.

Sure they will... the Chinese have no interest in a nuclear confrontation. What's to be gained? Franky, not really sure why they have such an interest in Mini-Elvis in the frist place.. other than he is hardcore Communist.

Do you really believe China thinks for one second that the US will go nuclear over NK?

I'm not sure what would happen if Mini-Elvis decided to let one loose on the South Koreans. I doubt seriously the Chinese will allow this. Hell, the Chi-Comms may hold the keys to the nukes anyways.. who knows?

While staying cognizant of the fact that military and other family members likely have a different vision of NK's future.

I think the last nuclear "test" the North Koreans had wound up blowing up the mountain top lab it's scientists were housed in.

Hard to tell because they are such a closed society..but it looks like they screwed the pooch on that one.

So, NK will once again be rewarded in some form for bad behavior.

Are you speaking of NK military? Family members?

If so? I still agree that we shouldn't give in. These provocation tactics should be answered by tightening the screws.
 
Well, you know that they're not using that aircraft carrier to come and take over Canada.

If the Americans wanted to do that, they'd just send up a platoon and ask for directions...

The present holder of the office of POTUS wouldn't do it anyway.

I must admit that sending the USS George Washington over for war games is a good step...it will however be interesting to see how NK responds...
 
Last June Peter Lee offered these thoughts on North Korea's future:

"Increasingly, North Korea does not represent a threat.

"Instead, it represents East Asia's last frontier, an untapped treasure-house of human and mineral wealth to be exploited by the regional and world powers that are able to guide its integration into the global economy."

Lee seems to believe that the reunification of the Korean peninsula and who benefits the most directly from it has to be considered whenever "provocations" occur:

"South Korea's latest Vision 3000 video-conference pitch was hosted by Goldman Sachs.

"A high tech trends website, h+, breathlessly spun the latest reunification scenario: it will pay for itself!

"With 'change left over!'

"Just like Iraq!
