Korean War II might be erupting..

[rho 9]

North Korea has just made it's stupidest move since threatening to nuke Hawaii. They've attacked South Korea.

 

Shit just started going down around an hour ago, so god knows what might happen by this time tomorrow. All I know is that Obama's gonna be pissed, Medvedev's gonna be pissed, everybody's gonna be pissed.

 

South Korea as a result has put its alert status at the highest its ever been in non-wartime. North Korea just wrote its will.

 

And if they end up using a nuke, ohhhhhh boy, are they done for.

[Cyber Shaman 990]

wow there such dumbasses

[rho 9]

I'm gonna be shocked if there's no war declared.

[Cyber Shaman 990]

there have to be war,because the people in north keria are starving they need are aid

[rho 9]

Yep, I've heard of their citizens having to eat dirt and tree bark, and how you can be executed for making an international phone call.

 

Meanwhile, Kim Jong-Il thinks he's Kim Possible and is threatening countries that could kick his ass, and he's claiming he never has to use the bathroom.

 

What a mess. Hopefully we can get ourselves, NATO, and hopefully Russia in there, kick the shit out of NK, and take it over, giving it to South Korea to finally make it just Korea again, and get the former North Koreans some freakin' food.

[Amon 4,279]

The Korean war never ended in the first place. South and North Korea were and still are officially at war. One side attacking the other is a legitimate move. The only reason why they didn't attack until now is the risk of mutually assured destruction

[Tails 6,690]

I heard, I can't believe North Korea would do something like that too. i hate North Korea, they aklways have problems and always try to start something with other countries for no reason. Like when they tried to nuke hawaii but failed at it. everything those retards do they always fail at it. Now if they dare strike another country they will be screwed and done for.

[RoxasStalker 11]

This is idiotic, why can't we all be friends and get along?

[Amon 4,279]

Mac Arthur was right.

 

We should have destroyed North Korea when we had the chance.

[rho 9]

China ain't happy. They're reluctant to take sides, but they seem to be closer to the South/NATO/Maybe Russia side.

 

Everyone is condemning North Korea, and Japan called it unforgivable. South Korea threatened a huge attack should the North continue.

And they will. Sadly South Korea isn't Israel. South Korea keeps backing down and as a result North Korea gets the opportunity to act up again.

 

If I were in charge of South Korea, Pyongyang would be burning right now. Retaliation would be the only way North Korea will learn they can't push others around.

[heartless101 83]

Wow North Korea was so stupid to pull off a move like that, especially when they're starving right now

[Eterna 274]

Well I'm gay soooooooo they wont draft me!

 

Yay!

[Amon 4,279]

Well I'm gay soooooooo they wont draft me!

 

Yay!

 

Lucky...

 

Hopefully this thing ends before I turn 18 or else I'll be digging a trench. :s

[Space Cowboy 1,392]

I got one thing to say:

 

 

And now that the U.S. has vowed to protect to South Korea, shit is about to get realer.

[Chaosx 113]

the american government should stop trying to be the world police and JUST LET THE GODDAMN ASIANS KILL EACH OTHER. it would make my life easier.

[Sora96 17,256]

People reckon North Korea will start World War III instead South Korea will end them by ending themselves.

[Amon 4,279]

the american government should stop trying to be the world police and JUST LET THE GODDAMN ASIANS KILL EACH OTHER. it would make my life easier.

 

Yes let the Asians kill each other. Now you don't have delicious asian food, half the game corporations are gone, and since there will be no one to bail out the failing economies of the western world we all starve to death.

 

Great idea.

 

Let it be known that its not only America who is taking this seriously but all the majors powers condemned North Korea for its actions. Even China is upset with North Korea.

[rho 9]

World War III would need more than North Korea on the other side. It'd be another Korean War, technically a reboot.

 

Oh, and Sarah Palin says "we must stand by our North Korean ally." There are people who WANT this dumbass as president.

 

Apparently, were sending out one of our best warships for the new drills with the South.

 

As for drafting, by the time I'd turn 18 the war would be over under likely circumstances.

Australia counts as apart of the Asia Pacific, which means no KH13.

Also with no Asia no Square Enix no Japanese Anime.

A lot of great stuff would be gone.

This is so horrible. I just came across this page and right away googled it. This is what I found in the news section. Posted November 23. The Link is: http://www.politicsdaily.com/2010/11/23/deliberate-or-accidental-a-new-korean-war-would-be-devastating/

Ill also post it here.

------------------------------------------------

Deliberate or Accidental, a New Korean War Would be

---

The soaring modern glass towers of downtown Seoul are magnificent -- and to a North Korean artillery officer squinting through his sights from just 32 miles away, a delicious set of targets. The glistening South Korean capital is a city of glass, almost literally in the shadow of some 500 long-range heavy artillery guns from which North Korea can fire half a million artillery shells an hour, for several hours.

---

A war on the Korean peninsula could explode almost without warning, senior U.S. military officers say. North Korea's immediate, if suicidal, intent in such a conflict: to demolish Seoul in a blizzard of glass shards and cause tens of thousands of casualties, before U.S. and South Korea forces could react.

---

That is why millions of people living in Seoul regularly practice scrambling into bomb shelters in subway stations -- and why any disruption in "normal'' relations with the reclusive and unpredictable regime to the north quickly gets the world's attention: a surprise attack from the North, whether deliberate or a miscalculation, would be bloody and costly, and likely would trigger all-out war.

---

Within hours of North Korea's apparently unprovoked artillery attack on South Korean territory and the South's retaliatory artillery barrage, U.S. officials, diplomats and policy analysts were assuring each other that this was only a "provocation'' by the North. The Obama administration took a rhetorical firm but low-key line on Tuesday, with Pentagon Press Secretary Geoff Morrell saying that the North Korean attack was "not, frankly, out of pattern for the North lately."

---

"North Korea has a pattern of doing things that are provocative,'' deputy White House spokesman Bill Burton explained to reporters Tuesday as Air Force One took President Obama to Kokomo, Ind., for an economic pep talk.

---

Nonetheless, Obama, saying the United States stands "shoulder to shoulder'' with South Korea, has dispatched the aircraft carrier George Washington, together with a guided missile cruiser and three guided missile destroyers, to begin "defensive'' naval exercises in the Yellow Sea off South Korea's west coast. The U.S. strike group will conduct air defense and surface warfare readiness training with South Korean naval units.

---

A spokesman for the U.S. 7th Fleet said the three-day joint exercises, which were previously planned, will begin Sunday. The warships include the cruiser USS Cowpens and the destroyers USS Lassen, USS Stethem and USS Fitzgerald.

---

But why Pyongyang ignited the crisis remained a mystery.

---

One favored theory in Washington is that Kim Jong-Un, the pudgy, Swiss-schooled son and heir of North Korean strongman Kim Jong-Il, needs to establish credibility with the military and focus them on the enemy to the south while he replaces some senior generals with his own cronies. A related theory holds that the elder Kim, having twice failed to win a massive injection of Chinese foreign aid, is now seeking to intimidate Seoul and Washington into giving more aid by threatening war and boasting of progress on his nuclear weapons program.

---

But nobody knows. The DMZ that has divided North and South since 1953 also has blocked the two sides from developing any hot line or joint measures to handle crises, the kinds of arrangements that once flourished between the West and the Soviet Union along the heavily fortified borders of the Cold War.

---

Even so, the United States is required under a 1953 Mutual Defense Treaty to help the Republic of Korea defend itself. On Tuesday, Morrell, speaking on MSNBC, said the United States would "honor our alliance obligations to the South.'' South Korea put its military on its highest peacetime alert, but at the Pentagon, Marine Col. Dave Lapan, a spokesman, said it was "premature'' to say what action, if any, the United States was considering in reaction to the shelling exchange.

---

A lightning strike from the North, quickly followed by a massive and powerful push through South Korea by North Korean infantry and tanks, is how the last war began in 1950. South Korea and the U.S. were woefully unprepared; among the first American units to arrive to defend South Korea was Task Force Smith, mostly untrained and poorly equipped American GIs who fought valiantly but were virtually wiped out in the North Korean onslaught.

---

The 28,500 U.S. troops now stationed in South Korea, along with a large and powerful South Korean military, are better prepared, according to U.S. Army Gen. Walter "Skip'' Sharp, who commands U.S. and allied forces there.

---

A West Point armor officer who was born while his father was fighting in Korea, Sharp is charged with executing Op Plan 5027, the war-fighting blueprint that focuses immediately on destroying North Korean artillery. Those targets are already stored in U.S. and Republic of Korea (ROK) computers for instant destruction by artillery, missiles or air strikes. Radar which back-traces the trajectory of enemy artillery shells would precisely locate mobile artillery.

---

"The real threat in South Korea is long-range artillery that's located right on the DMZ that can range Seoul, a city of tens of millions, so we really focus on being able to quickly take that artillery out, if it ever started,'' Sharp told reporters last year. "That I'm very confident in because we work very hard on that.''

---

The North Korean military is huge but old and rusty, U.S. officers say, largely consisting of castoff Russian and Chinese weapons and hampered by a shortage of fuel, training and spare parts. Aside from its artillery, North Korea has invested what it can in its missiles and special operations forces -- the missiles to augment artillery strikes in the opening hours of a conflict, and its commandos to punch across the DMZ to sow chaos behind the U.S.-ROK lines with sabotage and IEDs, the roadside bombs used with effect in Iraq and Afghanistan.

---

Op Plan 5027, rehearsed at least annually by U.S. and ROK ground, sea and air units, calls for a vigorous counterattack against North Korean artillery, air bases and the 700,000 troops and 2,000 tanks stationed near the DMZ. The plan, refined constantly since the 1970s, also identifies the units and sequenced movement of U.S. reinforcements as they are needed.

---

U.S. air power, including B-1 bombers, would play a critical role in attacking the North's artillery and missile sites in the opening hours of a conflict. Should North Korean armor succeed in breaking through the DMZ, the tanks would have to squeeze through narrow mountain valleys where they'd be vulnerable to air strikes. In addition, South Korean highway overpasses are designed to be blown up and dropped, the rubble blocking the roadway, in case of invasion.

---

Among other military preparations for war are plans to evacuate U.S. citizens and military dependents, a complex operation that U.S. forces practice twice a year.

---

"I think the North Koreans probably realize they could not win in a normal conventional all-out attack,'' Sharp said last year. But recognizing that the North has deliberately provoked crises in the past, Sharp said he has worked with the U.S. embassy to develop a series of potential responses to incidents such as Monday's artillery shelling.

---

"In every case, though, there is a recognition and a plan that in the midst of whatever is going on up North, we have to be prepared to defend South Korea in case we guess wrong,'' he said.

---

Bottom line, he said, if there is war the U.S. intention is to "fight and win.''

If anyone thinks North Korea would win, they're stoned off their ass.

 

Big difference between the Korean War and a potential Korean War II:

 

First Korean War, North has the Soviet Union and China on their side. In a potential second, Russia would most likely be on the US/South Korea side, and China is probably going to be neutral and not step in unless shit gets out of hand.

 

At the very least, it'll likely be South Korea, America, United Kingdom, France, and Japan. Even then, it wouldn't be too hard to defeat Kimmy. Germany maybe, Canada maybe, Russia maybe.

 

If we get a good amount of troops from every country in NATO to fight, plus some Russian and South Korean troops, it'll be like a football player fighting a 5 year old.

 

 

UPDATE: China is having talks in Seoul (capital of South Korea) regarding the situation in the Korean Peninsula. Little Kimmy better have all his fingers and limbs crossed that China decides they're gonna stay neutral and they won't come to our side, or they're even more screwed.

Meanwhile, I'll be here hoping China decides to be on our side so we can open up the can of whoopass with a bigger can opener and end this nonsense.

This is idiotic, why can't we all be friends and get along?

 

Because as long as humans exist, theres going to be war.

[King Riku 2,063]

I think it'd be best if Obama didn't get us into this crap. People will die. WE might die when North Korea start throwing bombs at us But NO, Obama doesn't care.

[Amon 4,279]

North Korea can't get a missile to the US. Not even Hawaii. The US is at no risk of being hit by North Korea missiles. Even if they could get here, we can shoot them down easily.
