Looks like there is new speculation that the attack was to garner support and a victory for little Kim Jong Un who will probably be taking over soon due to KJI's deteriorating health.

I still don't really believe that it was the North behind this at all and that there is some kind of cover up going on, but this article adds a bit of a new twist to the story. |

Interesting and quite thorough if not completely flawless. But I'm not sure if Hillary Clinton was the person he should have been sending it to  |

It's not the worst by body count - they've bombed airliners - or ballsy provocation. They've run across and axed to death soldiers on the other side of the border-no need for two-month investigations to determine the culprit then!
Even in the life of this board the Norks have crossed red line after red line without much consequence. It was discovered that they had a nuclear program in defiance of their agreement in the 90s not to. Then they tested a nuke. Then they tested another.

For me, their gutsiest move in the last little while was when they mowed down an unarmed civilian who had crossed a vaguely marked line on the beach at one of those joint tourist places in the North. As I recall, they didn't even bother denying they had done that, they just basically said "Yeah, so what?" without providing any further explanation. |
So you guys are basically saying that since it has always been this way it will always continue to be this way. You could be right. I hope you are. Short of leaving the country there is not much I can do about it anyway. But underestimating, minimizing, and sometimes outright scoffing at the risks just because something has not happened yet can sometimes come back to haunt you.
2 examples: underestimating the housing bubble and the chances of a catastrophic oil rig explosion just because they had never happened before.

So you believe North Korea over South Korea, the UK, Australia and Sweden combined? |

I have my suspicions as well. A sudden crisis that co-incides with the election campaigns of both countries?. Hmmm. |
