North Korea Going Rogue?

[SeanyTheSailor]

S. Korea Ship sunk

 

While there is no solid evidence that it was North Korea, apparently suspicions are high. The reason that the title is what it is is because while I can't remember any specifically I sort of have this mental note in the back of my head that I keep seeing North Korea popping up in the news doing controversial, or suspected of doing controversial things. If anyone sees any of these feel free to post them. But until then I guess just discuss the article above.

BBC has been talking about that incident for like a month now. Silly American media. :roll:

 

Anyway, I think that it was probably either a mine or a torpedo. However, it wouldn't be news to anyone if North Korea actually did it; they've had minor battles since the truce anyway...

[Faux]

I don't think SK has the balls to do anything. They'll just wait out what US will tell them to do.

I recall this being reported a long time ago. Oh, and it's rogue, not rouge.

 

North Korea is not really a threat to any other country. Sure, it's got a big army, but it doesn't have the money to actually sustain an attack on another country. Any act of invasion would be suicide, so I'd have serious doubts that they would actually attack another country in the first place.

We covered it then too. Personally I figured this was a second one.

 

Ship sunk in a suspicious way, after NK threats, of course they're going to think it's NK.

Maybe he is talking about North Korea putting on make-up to colour up their cheeks a bit.

When I clicked this thread I was honestly expecting Kim Jong-Il photoshopped on that book cover. Was a bit of a letdown, really.

North korea's gone red the French way?

[sithlord_man]

I can expect the End of the Cease fire in the next few years. Tensions are going to get higher and higher till the point one side acts first. Knowing NK, it will likely be them who causes the Second Korean War.

 

Strong External impact to? The only thing that I find is a mine or torpedo could have such an impact force if hit in the right area of the ship to cause the amount of damage done. Hopefully it wasn't intentional and it was left over from the 1950's war.

Apparently its just in the news again because they raised the ship.

 

But also I'm actually disappointed in the community as what I read, most people were joking around. Maybe you missed that North Korea has nuclear weapons and a crazy mofo as a leader. Also from what i understand his son who would likely be the next in line is just as bad if not worse.

 

Also the guy talking about how North Korea isn't a threat. Maybe them actually doing anything isn't a big deal but I could easily see them starting something big.

All it took to spark World War I was some random Bosnian Serb in Sarajevo named Gavrilo Princip, who assassinated the Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria. ;)

You spelled rogue as rouge. It's hard to take a topic seriously with an amusing mistake like that. It's also not exactly new news, Kim Jong-Il has been a crazy mother [bleep]er for a long time.

Ok I made a spelling mistake, if i knew how to fix it i would.

Rouge=red=war?

Also, SK are [kitties]

I think you just edit your first post. I'm not positive that's how you do it anymore, but I'd imagine it's still that way.

All it took to spark World War I was some random Bosnian Serb in Sarajevo named Gavrilo Princip, who assassinated the Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria. ;)

And almost a century of arms buildup, secret alliances, and nationalism building. People were itching for a war. The whole world these days is weary of war (even though any "war" the West is fighting should hardly be considered as such), and nobody likes North Korea any more. Their only real ally is Iran. The next closest is probably Cuba and Venezuela. The rest of the world, just about, is against those four tiny nations.

 

I mean, I blew the [cabbage] out of NK and Venezuela's military single-handedly, in two different times. A lot of help from Olivia, but, still.

All because a little serb named Princip went ka-pow.

I blame it on the Archduke's driver, he took a wrong turn which is how he ended up in front of Princip. The costliest wrong turn in the history of mankind.

 

On topic: The allies system of the time was what caused WW1 more than anything. The killing of the Archduke may have been the straw that broke the camel's back but with the alliance system that was in place in Europe it was always going to happen for some reason.

I actually think he turned because something happened so they thought he was in danger going that way. Could be wrong. Kinda ironic that he turned to avoid danger.... and who knows maybe he would have lived if he hadn't.

So a spark, on a 20 foot tall pile of oil soaked wood.

Though you're partially right, it's just a few small countries against the rest of them. But this is the turn of the century nuclear age, not the turn of the century industrial age. That's the game changer.

The driver wasn't made aware of a change in plans:

I'm going to stop now because I'm so far off topic.

The cease fire expired the middle of last year and they are once again in a state of war, technically anyway.
