From what i've seen on Korean television... the South is treading very carefully and letting the investigation play out before jumping to any conclusions. However, those that lost their loved ones are obviously emotional. Very sad. Mostly under 30

Now that you are back - how about answering many of the questions that were put forth in a couple of the other Korea related threads before you were exiled?

South Korea should have some say on who attacks North Korea. Some of the people in the North are their relatives. The South Koreans are one of our few friendly (more or less) strategic allies, and we have thousands of troops there on the ground who would be in harms way. In the case of South Korea all the tanks and artillery and infantry, Helicopters and an airforce base are already in place on the ground.

Avoiding a war with North Korea would be adventageous. South Korea is a very small country. It could be destroyed rather quickly with one or two nukes if North Korea was to go that far.

US isn't going to do shit. Why? US is too chicken shit to fight in that region again. US has too much to lose and nothing to gain if they start war over there. They learned it the hard way back in the 1950~80's. Now US war criminals bow to East Asian masters and let us control the economies of the world.

1+ million impotent military that ranks top 10 in the world with a back of China and Russia. Korea isn't Iraq where you can just barge in and steal oil and rape Iraqi women. NK regime isn't going anywhere long as China and SK is still standing. US in other hand...... Your hopes in East Asia colonies are being deprived slowly but surely. It's only a matter of time western apes tuck their tail between the legs and cluck back to the US of mutts.

LOL@U and your feeble attempts to act "tough".

We'll just send the Japanese back in for us...

Korea is a powder keg.

War is inevitable. You seriously think the two states will survive an indefinite state of belligerence? NK has nuclear weapons and is on the brink of collapse. South Korea has the backing of the USA.

NK is far more pragmatic than...say, Iran. But we can't say NK won't start war eventually.

Unless communist government is destroyed via-internal warfare or anti-communist insurgency, south korea and north korea will have to fight sooner or later.

Do you really think the two states will last for the next 100 years? The odds say no.

A regime as repressed as North Korea, has hope, as there are people there listening to Radio, TV, or Satelite.

Some day the people will stand up, and fuck precious leader in the ass.

Everyone knows this.

You are fear mongering again. NK isn't going to start no war. US wants to start a war at NK but China and Russia wouldn't like their borders filled with American GI's. It would be Korean War all over again. US knows this.

It would be as if China were to invade Canada. Will US do nothing? Same thing with Russia or China that borders Korea.

Why does the US want a war with NK? USA would have nothing to gain accept a couple hundred thousand KIAs.

NK continues to threaten conflict because it NEEDS aid. The only way to get aid is to use nuclear weapons as leverage.

It is not fear mongering to view this situation as a powder keg. Sooner or later war will erupt. It cannot last like this. Not indefinitely.

NK isn't suicidal yet, but if it enters a stage of failed state, it might lash out at South Korea.

Who knows. Could be tomorrow. could be 50 years. But it will happen unless North Korea is destroyed from within.

AzN,

Is North Korea really considered that close to your state?

I know you three share a border for like eight miles... not thousands of miles like the US and Canada.

I have a "feeling" that China hates NK and sees it as big PIA. Maybe someday China kick NK's butt. Don't you wonder how China feel to have wannabe nuclear power in it's own backyard? :D

I suspect the DPRK and ROK will slowly let this drift away.

The DPRK is perilously close to imploding from within. Their currency is worthless. The ROK wants to stay as far away as possible from being implicated in any way.

DPRKs annual GDP is $28 billion. While much has previously been consumed by the military, even that has been seriously slashed over the last 5 years.

No, he just PMs you because we want to be entertained by nutcases.

You Americans have a strange way of being entertained. Cruel and barbaric as usual.

If he wants to be entertained by "nutcases" he should check himself to the nearest mental hospital.

Please barbarian, you have no idea about Confucius. Stick to what you are good at. Calling your daddy by their first names.
