Here is a video report on threats by North Korea that "all-out war" will ensue if South Korea retaliates for the sinking of a South Korean ship by North Korea. North Korea denies having sunk the ship.
North Korea has 1,000,000 troops 70% of which are within 70 miles of the demilitarized zone. The U.S. has 28,500 troops on the other side of the line.
"Analyst Victor Cha said: "This is probably the worst provocation since the days of MacArthur - since the end of the Korean War. As the White House has said this is a blatant violation of the armistice."
Obama's strategy of appeasement does not seem to be working so well. Could that be why the North Koreans would feel they can get away with this?

This wouldn’t be happening had MacArthur been allowed to finish the job.
That’s exactly right. Very good point!
Exactly!
The guy that placed the first cigarette tax on us relieved MacArthur of duty because of MacArthur wanting to finish the job.
The weaker Obama looks the more this is going to happen
Yep ... Should have been.
And NK has 1,000,000 soldiers and how many of those are runners. One thing about dictatorships, they can’t seem to keep their forces in line once the first shot is fired. Who will fight for the stooge?
I think the Norks just keep on killing and move right in and take up residence in Pusan. Can't escalate the situation by fighting back, you know. It's the Obama world.
Obama makes Jimmy Carter look like George Patton.
“And NK has 1,000,000 soldiers and how many of those are runners. “
Not many, they are raised from birth to worship their dear leader. If they show any doubts their entire family is shipped off to the death camps.
If that fails they get shot by the people assigned to keep them from running. Plus it won’t start as an infantry war. It will start with chemical/bio weapons deployed by scuds and large amounts of artillery.
1 million troops without 3 meals apiece to share. NK could sustain a war for about 1 week, tops. They don’t have the food, parts, fuel, or machinery.
Concur ..... Ground invasion would collapse at the first McDonalds .. !
Did they forget the Republic of Korea's (aka South Korea) Army? It's huge, well-trained and heavily armed.
>> This wouldn’t be happening had MacArthur been allowed to finish the job.
Thank Truman. ‘Rats just can’t do national defense worth a hoot.
Then again, we’d be a lot better off if George the First had’ve finished the job in Iraq back in ‘91, so the (R)s aren’t immune either.
>> NK could sustain a war for about 1 week, tops. They don’t have the food, parts, fuel, or machinery.
I think Dear Leader’s master plan calls for them to get all that resupply stuff from the malls in Seoul. :-)
North Korea knows what the rest of the world knows.
Obama is a coward who will respond to any crisis by running his mouth.
And nothing else.
What can NK hope to gain from annihilation?
NK commits an act of war, then threatens war if there is retaliation. This can only be bought by people like Obama.
It’s been said that the NK invasion would lose all cohesion when the assault troops stop to loot the first supermarket they come across.
