Korean War II?

[kyzr]

NK said it will attack if SK proceeds with its live-fire exercises. SK said that they will proceed about 11pm EST Sunday night.

Is another Korean war in the offing??

This is what you get when you don't finish the job before you leave... A good example is Iraq.

 

[Baruch Menachem]

they have been spoiling for something.

I bet a large part of the military is planning on surrendering the first chance they get, just like with Iraq.

And just like Iraq, picking up the pieces will be the major part of the job no one has thought through yet

I hope the North is dumb enough to attack again. THIS time maybe SK will stop being so weak and strike back.

Kill every last one of those commie wackos, and FINALLY, give their people a shot @ a REAL life, and future.

There's probably not going to be a second war there anytime soon. But the South Koreans are damned stupid for doing this..

They really should let the situation mellow out a bit before they do these war games.

North Korea is at war with itself. They HAVE to have an enemy to distract thier dirt poor starving population to accept the "sacrifices" they are told they must make for thier country. You people that are afraid of North Korea are idiots. They cannot afford ******* RICE for thier own people let alone ANY WAR with ANYONE. You fear mongers get dumber every day with every threat you conjer up. It does not matter what NK says...they do not have the wherewithall to fight. The people of thier country may be easy to fool but thier leaders get educated all over the globe. They know what's what. That leaves you fear mongering morons as the dumbest population in the equation.

As long as none of our troops or money are involved, who gives a shit? Let them fight it out.

 

[georgephillip]

Even if tens (hundreds?) of thousands of Koreans and much of Seoul burns in the "fight?"

 

[zzzz]

NK is just like a bully. They will push and hit where and when they think they can get away with it but when faced with real consequences they back down in a blustery way. The ruling elite has it made and they do not want to lose their status and perks. Plus they look at Iraq and what happened to the leaders there and fear the same thing.

No war, not yet. But when China is ready to take over Taiwan, that is when war will break out in Korea, not before.

We have ~30,000 US troops stationed over in South Korea to help keep the peace.

S. Korea's live-fire drill ends calmly; country still on high alert

Seoul, South Korea (CNN) -- After days of concern about possible North Korean aggression over a South Korean military drill, the live-fire naval exercise ended peacefully after an hour and 34 minutes with no immediate retaliation.

North Korea said over the weekend that the drill could ignite a war and that it would respond militarily to the exercise. On Monday, North Korean military leaders said retaliation wasn't necessary -- but issued a stern warning to South Korea and the United States, according to the state-run Korean Central News Agency.

The North also agreed to a series of actions after former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Bill Richardson urged the country not to respond aggressively.

Richardson told CNN Monday he was encouraged by the North Koreans' restraint, saying he and others emphasized to the nation's leaders that failing to act would cast them in a positive light.

"Maybe we had a little impact with them," he said. He said he hoped it was a step toward opening a new chapter in relations between the two countries.

And WHY are we paying to keep the peace between two foreign countries?

North Korea was one of the original "stepping stones" to communism vaunted by the Ruskies and the Red Chineez until those countries opened up and "discovered" capitalism. Now N Korea is a stepping stone to nowhere. My guess is that they want to start a war with the USA and get occupied right away and get the benefits of being a "victim" of a war with the U S. All thier leaders have to do is look around and see the wealth we bestowed upon the elite of the countries we occupy. They might very well want some of the "missing billions" in aid to go thier way.

I mean what is the worst that could happen to them? As long as they don't commit war crimes any worse than Bush they, the rulers of N Korea, could cut a deal and live luxuriously in exile and get the **** out of thier stinking shithole of a country and leave it to us to feed thier people and build back thier infrastructure to take even more jobs out of our country and give N Korea good jobs.

N Korea is not about to upset the apple cart. They did some saber rattling to see what it would get them. They have backed off as expected. Little do they understand we probably would have done nothing anyway. Well, we might have apologized....

 

[Claudette]

The Prez of SK has stated if the North fires at his country again. He will retaliate.

Perhaps the troll who run NK is paying attention.

This is partially right. North Korea is crowning a new leader. They are basically a military dictatorship and Il Jung Kim's son Il Jung Un needed some credibility as a General.

I agree. North Korea is quite easy to understand. As long as you look at it from their eyes.
