Some of this, I think, relates to domestic political concerns inside North Korea. It's not a secret that Kim Jong-Il is creating a succession plan. It's entirely possible they're manufacturing a way for Kim Jong-Un to look tough given that he's presently situated in the National Defense Commission in North Korea. Even if they don't ever do anything, if they get anything Jong-Un can spin as a concession and take credit for it's probably a positive for what Kim Jong-Il already wants to do.

Good take on the situation.
North Korea is isolated on this one. Everyone knows that it was a torpedo attack. Just political posturing.


Oh, and BTW, watch out people, I've seen a couple of examples that could be viewed as circumventing the profanity filter. Now mind you, I'm not reporting it and I'm not saying or recommending anything should or should not be done. That would be a violation on my part for trying to moderate within a thread. Just saying, "watch yourselves out there people." It can be a dangerous place - just like the DMZ.

Eh, the problem is that any military action taken against North Korea means tons of munitions being dropped on Seoul. I was told by many people that they have tons of artillery pointed as Seoul, armed and ready to go off at any time. One thing against North Korea, though, is that they know they can't win a war and that China isn't interested in fighting a war for them. If push comes to shove, they'll likely accept defeat so long as Seoul is completely decimated, which would economically crush South Korea, with Pusan being the only metro type city.


And interestingly enough, I lived in Cheonan for a year, the city, not the ship.
 
Wouldn't it be a kick if South and North Korea made it to the Round of 16 in the World Cup and somehow ended up facing each other? Crazy.

I agree with this. I can't stop thinking of the 46 sailors that were killed. What of them? So. Korea is going to just bluster about this and the UN will ignore it and hope they give up? If 46 American Sailors were killed you can bet that a North Korean ship would have gone down. It is complete ******** that No. Korea is most likely going to get away with this and the international community will turn a blind eye.

They could probably do something like that every few months and get away with it. I don't think anybody will go after them unless they actually do go after Seoul. Iran on the other hand......I would flee that country if I lived there.

With our current leadership, I actually doubt if we would have done much if it were our ship that went down. We would have 'strongly' condemned them and said we have appointed an independent panel to work out the details.

I wonder if a North Korean ship would mysteriously sink a few weeks later.

A ridiculous claim. But congrats on being an exemplar of why politics is so screwed up in America right now.
