Yikes.

Maybe throw some clothes in a "get-the-hell-off-the-peninsula-as-fast-as-possible" bag tonight? Sinking a warship is one thing, but attacks on civilians is another.

Haha great, on the morning I finally get a job offer the war reignites Laughing

Anyone think this has a chance of escalating at all? I'm guessing it's just more sabre-rattling from NK, but it'd be a poor show if SK didn't retaliate at all. Just hope it doesn't become tit-for-tat.

Anyone actually worried enough to leave Korea soon or not proceed with a job offered ? I have a job offer on the south coast and I am not all that worried myself but what do others think?

Don't tell or remind your mom missiles hit about 30 miles due West of your location. She worries about you being in a war zone even though you believe it's highly probable you are much safer than at home. Shocked

I found it out when I checked the currency exchange today.

The won went strangely low and I wondered what was wrong.

North Korea is such a wanker.

The appeasement of North Korea continues with the ROK firing a few missiles into the sea in response.

They should have hammered the NK navy after the warship sinking. Instead.. the weak response has just invited greater provocation.

Any serious response from South Korea could result in Seoul being shelled. The North Koreans are crazies. What's going to happen is South Korea and the US are going to watch the North Korean provocations and bide thier time. Which is what they should do. North Korean's are crazies, they don't respond to pressure the way other countries respond.

Yeah, if I was NK, this is what I would be worried about.

Personally, if I was SK, I would bribe, assasinate or mind control all the military officers who control all the troops on the borders or who are near enough to have the power to attack Seoul.

Then in the next 6 months I would eradicate Pyeongyang or where ever the leadership was. Buy off the rest off the surviving leadership and over the next 10-20 years slowly take control.

China would be the biggest problem as currently they benefit from NK, but if it all goes bad, they will just take over. Thier paid for generals already are there to take over if it goes sideways.

If the Chinese dont already control 25% - 50% of the military officers then they should. Insanity can flow both ways of the border. I find it hard to believe that the Chinese are easy going about NK having nukes on thier borders, unless they had some serious control.

If I was a real *beep*, I would bribe the guys who control the NK nukes. Use them against China with some subsequent propaganda and threats and watch China wipe out NK. (Though I am not SK, so the pipe dream of unification in't as important to me).
