North Korea warns South it will pay for clash

SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea said the South will pay "an expensive price" for firing at Pyongyang's retreating patrol boat on Tuesday, keeping up its saber rattling two days after a naval gunfight raised tension between the rivals.

The threat, published in the North's official Rodong Sinmun daily, comes amid reports officials from the two Koreas met recently to discuss a possible summit between their leaders but failed to reach agreement.

The navies from the two sides exchanged gunfire on Tuesday for the first time in seven years, reminding financial market players of the security threat the North poses to the region, which accounts for one-sixth of the global economy.

You got to love the Norks, They intrude into restricted
space, shoot up a Skorean boat then bitch cause the
target then shot the crap out of them when they were
running away, almost like democrat lawmakers
protecting robbers and thieves( you can’t shoot them
if they are fleeing the scene etc).

Yep, that's why I said we missed our chance in the early 50s. It's not possible to do a preemptive nuclear strike against anyone. When we were engaged in a war with N.K. was the time to do it, back when it would not have been so politically incorrect.

"Nuke 'em" HA! aint ever gonna happen.
