We should have taken care of this shit the first time.
The Korean war never ended!
this is very disheartening. hopefully its only one of n. korea's "hey look what i can do; now lets negotiate," moments.
If I recall they should have the USS george washington and a full battalion right there in south korea for response. And the US is probably going to aid S.K. Interesting thing is, my roommate is supposed to go teach in south korea in january.
This was more of a playground scuffle than anything. A flexing of muscles in a remote area. It happened on some coastal island, not the DMZ. Everyone has too much at stake to start a war. North Korea is already in the shitter. I'm not sure if they can afford to start a war, or afford to lose China/Russian support if they do. The South has been doing great economically. The last thing they want is a war to fuck that all up.
edit: wtf are they doing bombing a civilian area. Maybe something is up. Next few days should be interesting.
That's because S.K. is way better and more developed than Afghanistan. I mean Kuwait is a nice place to be if you don't mind the heat.
