North Korea attacks South Korea

[Hieronymus]

I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he meant that, since North and South Korea have been in a rather strained cease-fire for more than half a century, he presumes the status quo will prevail and this aggressive bullshit will eventually settle down like it always does.

I'm of the same opinion.

If he means what you said he's got a funny way of saying it!

No fucking kidding.

You call it a situation that's not serious when your relative gets killed by a North Korean barrage.

Perpetual war, my friends. Perpetual war. Almost rhymes with 1984.

The U.S sent a carrier to help train South Korean troops, from November 28 to December something. What do think North Korea is going to do after they once again threatened to launch a larger attack much worse than before if the they continue their plans.

Well, like Hieronymus, I don't expect them to do much.  The artillery shelling was a show of strength on their part, the US aircraft carrier a show of strength on the US/South Korea's part.  It's very much gunboat diplomacy.  This round's been started by the lack of a sufficiently enthusiastic response to North Korea's overly subtle attempts at some form of reconciliation a couple of months back - it's not gearing up for war and neither are South Korea.

Hieronymus: Yes, that's essentially what I meant.

Sorry, my english is far from perfect, t'was a mere misunderstanding.
