A small tactical attack, that won’t kill many people.
Well, that’s reassuring.
Who knows what will be the U.S. response. After all, we have idiots at Dept. State and Dept. Defense and a Communist as Commander in Chief!
A small little attack that killed a arch duke, what did that start again?
See, Democrats think heavily about "acceptable losses".
This latest North Korean tantrum is designed to extract more aid from the West. If Kim fails to get aid and satisfy his goons or if he actually starts a war and puts his arm chair Generals at risk, he and his wife will soon be dead.
I don’t think the new and rather hawkish South Korean leader is going to react in a “relatively small” way.
If they do, we should retaliate by taking out the barbed wire fences, guard towers and minefields along the DMZ so that Northerners can escape to the south. That would hurt the North Korean regime even more than would nuking their cities.
Like being a little bit pregnant....
I remember a martial arts school which specialized in “counter-punching”. Unlike most martial arts schools that teach that “those who cross the gate (center of the ring) first usually win”, the counter-punchers would lie in wait, and just use minor feints if possible, to get their opponent to come in on them.
And then they would punch them hard enough to knock seven bells out of them.
This was also the technique used by the Germans against the French in the Franco-Prussian war, at the end of the 19th Century. Through a diplomatic trick, a rewritten, insulting telegram sent to the egotistical blowhard Emperor Napoleon III, called the “Ems dispatch”, he lost his cool and ordered a few French military units to cross into Germany and break things.
Even back then, this was “aggressive war”, and made France the “bad guy”, internationally. But little did Napoleon III realize, but most of the German army was hidden, just across the border, ready to “counter punch” as soon as the French invaded. And they did, in spades.
They barely bothered with the French invaders, but pressed on all the way to Napoleon III himself, who they deposed as the Emperor of France. The war was very short, only a couple of weeks, and then the victorious Germans went home.
Now, about Korea.
I would give even odds that “fat kid” is planning some minor attack, like the sinking of the Cheonan or the bombardment of Yeonpyeong island. However, I suspect that if and when he does so the SKor military is more than ready to do some serious hurt on the NKor, and on something(s) very important to them.
Remember that they have a lot of payback due for the attacks the North have done to them already. Especially for the sinking of the corvette Cheonan.
Obamas boyz all weeweed up yet
Werr, Nolth Koleans ahl smarr peopers!
2 of them were reported unaccounted for yesterday
Any “attack” of whatever size and whatever force, should be met with an absolutely overwhelming military response and prosecuted to a very definite conclusion.
This North Korean nonsense has been going on for sixty years, and it has to be ended.
Everybody realizes that China and probably Russia are the puppet masters here right?
