Is the Korean peninsula about to get interesting again? The last 2 years around this same time the NORKs have caused trouble in and around the NLL/Yellow Sea.

The timing is right for them if they are watching. I think China is hoping N.Korea starts something more than a minor provocation.
We have certainly taken our eye off the ball in that part of Asia for a while. I don’t know what threat NK really poses if things were to escalate. But China’s intervention to rein in N.Korea would solidify China’s position as a “world militay power.”
The US would be to slow to react as we would mull over how to “help” South Korea.

The south needs to deal with this despot once and for all. Accept the fact that the next mini-attack by the North will be a trigger for a swift and massive counterattack.
No words or saber rattling, just surprise the hell out of them.

They sank a ship, they shelled an island. They know the south won’t do anything short of an all-out attack. Obama would probably still call for restraint. heh.

I guess the NORK’s are running low on food again. Time to stir up some trouble to get the West to pledge more shipments if the NORK’s promise to behave.

I believe this is connected to the current issues with Iran right now. When/if we move on Iran, NK may well plan on moving south to aid their buddies.
