Representatives from North and South Korea held a second day of marathon talks Sunday — stretching more than 16 hours — as they tried to find a way to resolve escalating tensions that had both sides threatening military action.
But even as the talks continued, the South reported that more than 50 submarines from the North appeared to have left their bases and that troop numbers had been doubled on the northern side of the demilitarized zone that separates the estranged neighbors. Meanwhile, South Korea brought six fighter jets home early from drills in Alaska.
Still, the fact that the talks were continuing was positive, analysts said.

They want:
1. To save face for Kim Jong Un, who has escalated himself into a military/diplomatic jam and now needs to claim some type of “amazing military victory”, ergo the Kanagawa attack and these sub shenanigans.
2. Money
3. Food
All this is huge cause for concern (mines, shell exchange) but aside from a possible impending torpedo attack my guess is it’s not part of a general, theater-wide attack from the Tree Bark Soup set.
They want another 10,000 tons of fertilizer so North Korea can fake a big nuke this time.
IMO NK has gotten what it wanted with the cancellation of the US Korea war games and will sit on it’s winnings.
OTOH Dear Leader just had his vice shot for complaining about trees...
North Korea does not have 50 submarines, correct me if am wrong.
I’d say that, too, is a part of the impending demand package, as it has been in the past, from these impoverished, insane whackos.
Apparently METH is a popular DIET AID for the wives of the elite, there now, can u imagine...?
Active Duty ping.
No, they do have more than 50 subs, though many are midget subs.
That threat is real.
I HOPE you are wrong.
“North Korea does not have 50 submarines, correct me if am wrong.”
They do. Easily found on the web.
The only big, recent NK lie about their subs was the notion that they NOW have SLBM capability:
That’s ridiculous.
Can they torpedo ships?
Yes.
First war then peace. Let them nuke it out. Zippy will do nothing.
only thing that is ridiculous about the NK are their military headgear.
seriously offer their top leaders immunity, million dollar pensions and all-you-can eat buffet passes to surrender.
they have torpedoed at least one SK destroyer a few years ago
Screw them, enough is enough.
Let them eat plutonium.
Let’s end this, once and for all.
The hats remind me of something from Wizard of Oz..
