Why not attack south korea?

They had a little exchange of artillery fire and the guys north of the border got the worse end of it...

I still think that if N. Korea launches a nuke it will get detonated on the pad by an orbiting laser cannon....

In what way?


Wuddya mean in what way? What if China decided to have "military exercises" in the Gulf of Mexico off Sanibel Island?

Its not a high school football game where our team right or wrong.

If the Gulf of Mexico was international waters then I expect China could do what it wants there. But it isn't international waters:

The exercise was conducted in "disputed waters". In maritime law the term "exclusive economic zone" which extends 200 miles from a countries shores is accepted as where a military exercise might be conducted. With thousands of miles of shoreline around the Korean peninsula, if the exercises were undertaken with no intention of provocation, there were other options. There are plenty of social analogies to be made of someone entering your
space with beligerent intent; its downright archetypal.
 
Quote from 377OHMS:

I mean, what is to stop N.Korea?

Oh, they can attack S. Korea alright. But that will be the last thing they ever fucking do.

USA will bomb the shit out of that whole stinking country until there is nothing left.

While China watches.

Uhm, last time the Chinese decided they had enough when we reached the Yalu river. They poured 500,000 troops in there and kicked our asses all the way back down the penninsula past the 38th.

The chinese won't just watch.

"Some analysts have linked Tuesday's action by the North to the impoverished nation's need for food. The Obama administration has refused to remove sanctions against the North, imposed in response to its nuclear program. "They see that they can't pressure Washington, so they've taken South Korea hostage again," Choi Jin-wook, a senior researcher with the South Korean Institute for National Unification, told the New York Times. "They're in a desperate situation, and they want food immediately, not next year."



"The revelation of the uranium facility and Tuesday's attack on South Korea may both be expressions of the North's concern that the Obama administration and its allies are unlikely to offer concessions such as the easing of sanctions. "I think they realize they can't expect anything from Washington or Seoul for several months, so I think they made the provocation," Choi Jin-wook, senior researcher at the Korea Institute of National Unification, told CNN."



spot on. Seoul has hardened its stance with N Korea and are tired of being bullied. Good on them imo.....
 
Quote from Range Rover:

Sanctions that are preventing food,money and weapons from N Korea does make it ballsy.
Like the 2 previous Presidents.
Quote from Range Rover:

Obama is also refusing to be extorted by North Korea.
a) You're so full of shit, you need to take your nose off Obama's ass.

b) Obama allowed S Koreans to die without retaliation.
