North Korea threatens to launch attacks on south

Hopefully just sabre-rattling but the threat of human rights leafleting has certainly upset North Korea:

How is this different from their torpedo attack on a ship, and more recent artillery fire against SK land?

Suggest they be told to bring it, and massive retaliation inflicted upon them.

Yes. I believe a first strike was considered by a number of Nations.

Oo-rah! Usual moderate spam response - perhaps you'd like to charge ashore singing 'The Halls of Montezuma' clutching an M2 whilst dressed in bandoliers of 0.50" ammunition?

'twould be unwise to let slip the dogs of war in Korea......

They have but they aren't doing much at the moment, what with the NHL Lockout and all.

Beagle, your nonsense is noted.

Nowhere do I presume invasion is the form taken for massive retaliation.

For that matter, my underlying point was that the South Koreans are in best position to levy such, politically, given the number of blatant attacks they've had to suffer over the past five years and their general restrained or zero response.

At some point, it might be best to bloody the nose of the young moron now in charge of the Norkers to teach him a lesson.

But you, with your myopic anti-US horsecrap, can't see the forest for the trees.

What else would I expect from you? About the crap we got.

Beag's

Was there a salient point in there or just a hit and run post?

He's just a bored, tired old guy who hasn't got a life otherwise. IMHO, of course.

Was it that Bernie Ecclestone's fault? (Is he and Beagle one and the same)?

I was out for lunch with some Korean colleagues recently and someone brought up the North and things became heated - half of them were yelling that they should invade NOW and the others were shouting that it would be a disaster for everyone N& S if they did

I kept my mouth shut
