Developing live story, ladies and gents.
Here's Al Jazeera's livestream of the event: http://www.livestation.com/channels/...azeera_english 200 motors were fired, jets have been scrambled by South Korea. This is a full blown skirmish. |

God freaking dammit.... I hope this doesn't escalate into a full blown conflict involving the world. Being a Korean, I am truly heart-broken at what the action finally came to be... |

Re: North Korea has fired onto South Korea
Rev your engines, boys. lol'd at that.
Anyways, the world just seems to be falling apart at the seems. Currencies and economies have been so volatile over the past few years that I wonder almost every day at the stability of the current global economic situation. I have a feeling everything is in a lot worse shape than we're led to believe. This is the kind of **** that puts a match to the already volatile fires burning under the economy. Guarantee you'll see global stock markets take a plunge today. I digress though. These tidings are significant and rather ironic, because I asked leonid not too long ago about how he felt living so close to that absolute crack pot of a dictator to his north. I find that North Korea's shelling was, as per usual, a very weak and feeble attempt at looking mighty and powerful. I'm not downplaying the situation whatsoever, but after 50+ years of military standoff, this is not the first time North Korea has sent artillery fire over the border. It certainly has been awhile since the last occurrence, but that doesn't mean we're seeing the beginning of WWIII. North Korea is just posturing like usual. As retarded as the leadership is in that country, they're not so naive as to be unaware of their position in the global community. They know what a real war would bring them. As the proverb goes: This too shall pass. Last edited by foilman8805; 11-23-2010 at 03:26 AM.. |

Re: North Korea has fired onto South Korea
I certainly hope so... As you said, NK knows that it would get obliterated if it were to escalate the conflict, but it still has a nuclear option, especially with the unveiling of NK's new uranium enrichment facility.
I'm not a political mastermind, but this is the NK that has tried to nuke across the seas if I recall. It is an option they possess. And yeah... the South Korean stocks are already taking a huge dip |

Re: North Korea has fired onto South Korea
probably recognition from the global community
UPDATES ON THE SITUATION: North Korea claims that South Korea fired first, and simply retaliated. South Korea's defense ministry claims that it was a planned, intentional shelling by the North Koreans. The Russians have just stepped in and called for a cease of violence. I'm getting this info from CNBC, cuz that's the only channel I could find that's covering the story right now |

Re: North Korea has fired onto South Korea
Don't forget that SK has a lot more allies than NK does. At this point it stands to reason that Russia does not approve of this violence, and I wouldn't be surprised if China were to follow suit.

Re: North Korea has fired onto South Korea
I was going to say the same thing. South koreas personal military isn't* the only factor when the rest of the worlds super powers are behind you.

Re: North Korea has fired onto South Korea
probably just a show of power to the west to show that the new leader isn't a pushover, because we all know what the west does to weak countries it rapes them of resources lol
