[mhall]

We need to send a Seal or Marine sniper special Op team over there and frag that Kim dude and quick. One shot to that 90lb drum head of his and it's over, whack his son while we're at it to. Problem solved..........

Oh wait a minute, we have Mr Rogers running the country, scratch that idea............

Yeah, I heard ole Kim Jung Ill is pretty sick....so he's appointed his numbnuts son, Kim Jung "Not Ill" to take over...




Him and Fidel's son ought to get together for Sunday brunch and eat a couple of hand grenades. Idiots.

South admits firing first shells in row with North Korea

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O33sfN00oDk

South Korea has admitted it fired artillery shells that triggered an early morning clash with North Korea. However it says it was part of a military drill and denied it was directed at the North. Earlier Seoul blamed the North for what it called an unprovoked shelling of its island. Pyongyang claimed the South had violated its maritime border during the military drills.

Wait a minute! Wasnt it the previous Mr Rogers who did the food paying to keep them quiet until they got their nukes running and he got out of office? We literally cant fight another war, let china deal with them and keep us out unless they do all out war on the South and maybe we can find an extra battleship or something, I guess we could rent one from china.

Diplomacy is the same thing that the Bush administration was doing with N Korea so its not like Obama is doing anything different on that front. Not sure why folks think that the US has to play world police every time something happens elsewhere and get our nose into things. For those of you suggesting covert ops or other means of silencing the midget, exactly what would you do? I mean, you take out the midget and you still have a lot of others who would follow in his footsteps. You have to keep in mind that this wacko has been in power for a long time and his father before him. Lots of brainwashing of the population during that time. Not to mention that if you start playing around in China's backyard without their blessing you could be looking at something a whole lot more involved and costly in terms of American lives. Given that China practically owns half of the US right now, they sort of have us by the balls. The best bargaining chip that we have is suggesting that with all the saber rattling by N Korea, may be its time that Japan should have a standing army, you know, for "self defense". The last thing China wants in the region is a well-armed Japan. I'm sure they still have nightmares about the last time Japan had an army. Also bear in mind that N Korea often does the saber rattling deal right before they try bargaining for something. I also think you'll find that there have been a number of incidences in the area for years that have gone unreported in the press.

Parker who said ANYTHING about fighting a war, I said send a special op's team over there and make him and his son go horizontal PERMANTENTLY! That is hardly a war and the American public needs to know nothing about it. Sounds to easy right, lol, we have been doing that kinda of stuff for years. Before this Nation got all feel good and tree huggy we whacked idiots all the time.

IF that were to happen, you can be pretty sure that the N Koreans would immediately launch a whole lot of missles at S Korea. That would be the start of the war. S Korea has to be in on, and approve, any measure that we take against N Korea as they'll be the first to get hit. There are a lot of missles able to reach Soeul, so I'm sure it would get messy real quick. So yeah, not quite so easy.

Conjecture on your part, you have NO way of knowing this for sure.

You are correct, no one knows the outcome for sure. Honestly, do you really believe that N Korea would do nothing after its leader was offed? I think it’s a pretty safe bet that S Korea would be the first to feel their wrath. I think its doubtful that N Korea would want to take on the US cause they know they would lose. S Korea is another story. Unaided, the north might have a chance, and a reunited Korea is something the north has wanted for a while. The midget’s father tried, but was not successful in doing it.

Better check your facts........South Korea would do JUST FINE without the US or other Western Allies. The south has 700k Active Troops, and 3 million or so reserves.

They also have 600-700 modern aircraft, including f4, f5, f15, f16 and their own f50.

They also have 11k or 12k artillery pieces, including 155mm self propelled howitzers.....similar to our M109 Paladins.

They also have a formidable navy.

I don't know if the South can actually fight, but they have used their forces around the world as peace keepers, and even had a number in support roles in IRAQ.

I think if the North really wanted a battle, they'd get their BUTT KICKED.......but you know what, they don't.

NOT saying the North would not do damage......the WOULD, but I think the south could and would do SERIOUS damage to the North.

North Korea South Korea
Personnel: 1,106,000 687,000
Army: 950,000 560,000
Navy: 46,000 68,000
Airforce: 110,000 64,000
Tanks: 3,500 2,750
Subs: 63 13
Fighters: 388 467
Artillery: 17,900 10,774

I don't disagree, the South might do fine against the North if everyone else stayed out of it. I don't think others will stay out. If we get involved, China might take issue with US troops right on their doorstep. Demodan is right, things would get ugly real quick.

I agree with you, that the North really doesn't want a war. More along their lines of saber rattling to extort stuff that they don't have from the west.
