Panic is occurring in the wrong place. It is supposed to happen in SK not NK. I think NK wanted to have a repeat of last May's feat, successfully spooking a segment of S. Korean population, especially young people, when Cheonan was sank, and N. Korea issued non-stop series of belligerent threats. With their sympathizers(SK left) in S. Korea, they successfully stoked panic among young population. Hysteria generated by mobile phone messages at lightening speed. These kids got played.
This time it got a little difficult to elicit the same response, because the brazen daylight attack on Yeonpyeong Island left little room for conspiracy theories featuring 'evil' S. Korean gov. and U.S.. Things won't completely turn around until there is a third(bigger) provocation, which I believe will come in near future. I still see some politicians and others out there, who hope that people would soon forget this thing and go back to their slumber.
Some people just don't get it unless NK's 240mm rocket screaming down to a StarBucks at a posh part of Seoul, pulverizing the place and vaporizing many airheads in it, who are gulping down overpriced coffee.

” North Korea Intellectuals Solidarity (NKIS),”
Hmmmm....
Not sure how much reliance I’d place on ‘intellectuals’’ reports about ‘life on the streets’....
(They use the word ‘unexpectedly’, a lot...)

If they fire 240mm rockets at Seoul most people will be safe if they remain inside and move downstairs. The bomblets detonate on impact and will not penetrate below one floor of a building. Reference the Soviets’ use of Grad rockets on Grozny. Tube artillery is another matter. Guns can level a city. The NORKs do have some guns which can hit Seoul.

“Things won’t completely turn around until there is a third(bigger) provocation, which I believe will come in near future.”
I’m curious - when you say “completely turn around” do you mean to say the security situation on the peninsula will improve after another (larger) provocation? That’s how I read what you said, but I don’t believe that’s what you mean.

I was referring to the political landscape. There are those who used to be leftwing(pro-North) activists, but now fashion themselves as democracy fighters. Many are in the SK's political scene. Some are even in ruling party. Their credibility could be destroyed or damaged.
The myth(idol) propped up by these lefties would be destroyed not by series of logical arguments, but by a catastrophe(NK attack on SK, limited or full-scale.)

Gotcha. Based upon the changing tone in Seoul these days, I’d say the pro-North element within the ROK is well on its way to being discredited.
By the way, did you catch this -
AFP: S.Korea on Wed. (2pm) to hold biggest air raid drill in years. Evacs to shelters, fighter jets overhead will simulate #DPRK airstrike.

From your link:
“Although the five West Sea islands have not been designated as drill sites, a military source said there is a possibility of live-fire exercises taking place there on short notice based on weather and strategic considerations.”
Good. Was hearing that they were thinking about not going forward with anymore live-fire exercises up in the “5 Islands” region, basically caving into Pyongyang’s position as to the viability of the NLL.
Would be “convenient” if they conducted some of those live-fire arty exercises up by the NLL at 2pm on Wednesday when they kick off the big air raid drills.

NYC/LI where we have already seen twenty degree days. I’ve got all the good cold weather gear and a compact bug-out bag that will never leave my side. Semper paratus.

North Korean merchants are exchanging their local currency en masse as war jitters in the wake of Pyongyangs attack on Yeonpyeong Island have stoked fears that the money may lose its value in the case of war Won is the loneliest number.
To: TigerLikesRooster
Now would be the time to step up balloon leaflets and black ops broadcasts to the North—all blaming Kim Jong Un. Internal unrest could be fomented. So much for their own war rhetoric being their own undoing...
