I think the DPRK could torpedo this place and they wouldn't bat an eye. |

Just what we need, another war.
Anyone got the Guinness book handy? What is the record for simultaneous wars by a country? |

Went from "a DPRK attack" to "suspected attack" to "explosion, DPRK suspected" to "old mine" in 20 min flat.
Quickest international crisis ever. (I hope). |

Well, every few years there seems to be some type of Naval clash. Kinda like a big earthquake in CA: it's bound to happen at some point. |

And they fired on a DPRK ship in "retaliation"? Hoo boy.
Guess we'll have to wait to hear what actually happened. |

| Would the men on the ship largely be young conscripts? Apparently there was 104 on board and around 30 have thus far been rescued. |

In case you forgot, North Korea does have nuclear weapons and its leader is a deified sociopath and its economy is crumbling.
The totalitarian state gave a more vocal than normal threat today, following reports that the U.S. and South Korea were preparing for instability that will occur if Kim Jong-il dies.
"Those who seek to bring down the system in the (North), whether they play a main role or a passive role, will fall victim to the unprecedented nuclear strikes of the invincible army," North Korea's military said in comments carried by the official Korean Central News Agency. |
