Been following this off and on here all day. Two S Korea marines killed. Unknown number (dozen or so? accounts vary) injured, some severely. Scores of homes and buildings - and livelihoods - ruined.
My starting point in this thread: Unless the South wants to get used to this as a way of life, they must act effectively.
Agree, though: Many people who think “they can’t respond militarily” apparently think these people’s lives just don’t matter. It’s all about avoiding conflict, after all. Of course, any student of history knows that acting in that matter GUARANTEES more conflict! After all, that’s pretty much all that has happened, expect the Norks are about to have (more) nukes!
