so what do they intend to do about it other than accuse NK of the crime?

Even if North Korea didn’t have a hand in it and it was a mine, etc., they have been provoking South Korea with their taking of property and use of military ships.
This doesn’t look good. Fortunately, South Korea has a huge amount of industry to help it wipe out North Korea.

Probably nothing. But NK will force the issue. NK has little choice but to start a war at this point. What remains to be seen is whether they have the Chicom’s blessings.

Obama wont meddle in this one. Maybe he'll offer them both free health care?

It's sad really...the democrats are oh so Machiavellian when it comes to dealing with national politics, but they fail to grasp international politics at even a rudimentary level. I have zero confidence that Zero can handle this situation without it becoming a huge mess.

You’re absolutely correct. Mainly because he doesn’t know what to do about it. He has no cajones.

Obama wont meddle in this one. Considering the number of American troops stationed in SK, Obama will have to get involved at some point.

vowed to retaliate against any attempt to link it with the March 26 explosion This regime of clown shoes's diplomacy sounds like a broken record - if you accuse us, if you monitor us, if you stand in the way of..., if you prevent..., WE WILL CONSIDER THIS A THREAT AND RETALIATE.
As nukes proliferate further into rouge states, expect a whole bunch more copy cats of this diplomacy, which has gone unchecked. Until someone finally calls this bluff.
Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it should be restated as human history proves that 'history' is always forgotten, and repetition is an absolute. This is very reminiscent of the habitual 'line in the sand crossing' preceeding both world wars.

Correct me if I am wrong...
But are we not currently at war with North Korea?
With a declared Armistice preventing open hostilities?
To: highlander_UW
Absolutely. South Korea will be thrown under the bus just like Israel. You mess with NK and you’re in China’s playground. No way Obama will tangle with that hornet’s nest. Even if China loses control over the nutcase in North Korea Obama will do nothing. If I was living in SK, I’d be leaving asap.

Give them a good talkin to. Probably a sternly worded letter protesting in the strongest possible terms. I think that covers all the standard cliches.

Ahhh, so it wasnt the Jooos or Bush? Well, I'm sure the torpedo was built during the Bush admin...so how could anyone blame Obama for something that he "inherited"? /s
