North Korea has fired dozens of artillery shells at a South Korean island, setting buildings on fire and prompting a return of fire by the South, Seoul's military and media reports said. A witness said residents of the island of Yeonpyeong, off the west coast of the peninsula near a disputed maritime border, had been evacuated. YTN television said 14 South Korean soldiers had been wounded in the shelling, the biggest attack in years. YTN quoted a witness as saying 60 to 70 houses were on fire after the shelling and TV footage showed plumes of smoke coming from the island. It said a South Korean fighter jet had been deployed to the west coast after the shelling.

I guess North Korea's world take over has begun!

[darthYENIK]

God damn. I hope America doesn't take this as a green light. The last thing we need is another war.

Well, even if it is far from happening, I would still re-join if sh*t hit the fan.

And I salute you for your patriotism.

But this war would simply be a relic of the past. An UNRESOLVED past....I think.

North Korea isn't relevant. I wouldn't kill myself over it. Hell, the Korean army is probably dead due to starvation right about now.

Geography pop quiz: What country borders North Korea to the north and west?

There's your answer.

The DPRK is more of a liability for China than anything, but it provides a buffer of sorts as it did between the USSR and the DMZ during the Cold War. China is not going to want US troops that close to their border.

Them firing at eachother isn't new. Wasn't that long ago North Korea sank that South Korean ship killing 30 some-odd, of course they denied it, however.

But there is a difference this time, why on earth would North Korea deliberately fire 200 shells on a South Korean island? Oh, and if America gets involved I'm f*cking leaving this country, thanks.

As if US troops would do anything.

The US-Chinese relationship is too...what's the word I'm looking for...'glued' to be broken apart.

We're talking CRAZY glue here.

CRAZY glue.

Unless I'm missing something, China is communist and supports North Korea, if there is any "relationship" it's held by paperclips and bubblegum. CRAZY CHERRY bubblegum.

Denmark? What? No, motherf*cking South Africa. I could blow vuvuzelas all I want.

Let's hope we don't, but knowing us, and our stupidly uncanny need to police the world we probly will.

Well, we all knew it'd happen it was a matter of when, and where, and well it's been awnsered.

[E.A.B.]

I don't wanna start a quote train, so; the US-Chinese relationship is like a middle age couple that doesn't like each other that much, but are together because its more economically viable that way.

Yep, I think that sums it up well

[The-King]

I honestly don't think China would make any hostile moves toward us, considering we owe them more than we're worth, why the f*ck would any sane leader sacrifice that asset for the sake of pride?

If we got into a war with the DPRK I'd be willing to bet it'd be over within a month or two, a couple of American platoons, some air support and it'd be done with. Their military power is incomparable to even one of our bases. We could wipe them off the map faster than they could declare war, same goes with China quite frankly, but as stated before they're an ally in the sense that the two economies are nearly dependent on one another in their entirety, so that would be utterly stupid, not to mention fruitless.

[E.A.B.]

Militarily, we're better equipped than the average Chinese soldier.

MUCH better. But the Chinese army outnumbers our own by a lot, so I wouldn't count them off so quickly

Elaborate, please. Nothing really big will come out of this, what could? It's North Korea, for crying out loud, what are they going to do?

[Darth Yokel]

How stupid are those guys? I mean really? They didn't even think about repercussions. America is going to take such a huge crap on NK it's going to be awesome.

I wouldn't put that much faith in America... especially not when it comes to Korea. That being said it's going to be very very interesting to see how this turns out over the next few days, nothing quite like military aggression to start the morning.
