I doubt it's a kick-off. More "keep your dog off my lawn" stuff...

The Americans. Well they fund the US.

I'm not going to jump the gun on this....since it is still speculation that N Korea had any involvement.

But, if they did, then the sinking of a Naval vessell is not a light matter I'd have thought. Strikes me that this could get a little edgy if it transpires N Korea were involved.

If NK really did do this then Seoul is absolutely fked when they inevitably take military action against NK.
NK have SO much artillery pointed at seoul it's not even funny.

Wrong. If NK and SK have a war, where do you think all the refugees are going to flood to? China doesn't want all of the starving NK's..

+1
China will not allow NK to start it, without China NK would have crumbled long ago.

The Chinese will be screaming blue murder at Kim Jong's ill as we type...

23 Million, is hardly going to make an impression on China which is currently 1,325,639,982.

Plus China doesn't really have a problem killing it's own population so refugees aren't a big issue.

China would rather pump money into and have control over NK and its inhabitants than have an even more rogue state and an influx of millions of refugees.
Give them money, make it clear they can talk as much as they like but if they take action daddy will cut their credit card up.
That way kimmy still gets to play mr big balls and threaten SK all he likes, but nothing ever happens.

You should be more worried that your car insurance doesn't cover you after a nuclear event...

When I was in Japan Around 8-9 years ago I was amased how many stories like this came on the news. ALways seemed to be some agro going on.

One I remember a North Korean sub was found dropping off agents in the south all above the water took cyanide pills the the captain of the sub scuttled the boat killing everyone on board don;t think it even made the news over here.

That's insane. And it's all so pointless.

A few hundred cruise missiles would sort that out though, surely?

They are still at war so this isn't as unusual as the press like to say. happened last year but that time it was a N. Korean ship so no-one cared.

I love how you take a dig whenever you can. I am sure he means militarily. If so, Even Merry ole' England has a better power projection capability that China at the moment.
