North Korea warns US-S Korean military drill could result in "actual war"

They say that every time this exercise is going to happen. Truth is that one aircraft carrier scares the living begeezus out of them.

[hflynn]

The US and the South Korean authorities should immediately cancel their plan for the provocative joint military exercises against (North Korea).”

In the sick Mind of very Ill Jung drills that include mock battles aimed at evaluating command capabilities with troops mobilized for anti-commando operations and computer war games risks war. Apparently when North Korea fires a Long-Range Dong across the Sea of Japan and over the Japanese mainland we shouldn't be concerned because it's just a harmless NK war game.

[pkok]

Well, if there's going to be a war out of this, we should be in a pretty good position...

[Jabba the Nutt]

For awhile, the South Koreans were sending balloons with hand-crank radios attached up to the North. Then they got intimidated out of that. I think they should send radios, walkie-talkies, food, anything to help the people in the north. Mr Il is going to fall one day by coup, by his family or by disease.

"I'm glad these maneuvers make them nervous. That's what they're designed to do." I agree. I don't want it to happen though if North Korea wants the fight I think they will get more than they want. I know that they have an lot of fire power. Remember those Arleigh Burkes are there too and have been for a while. God Bless our people tht are there and they are in my prayers. God Bless America and all who defend Her.

We ought to accidentally lob a cruise missile at NK just to see what they would do.

[nw_arizona_granny]

Didn't they manage to capture on of our ships?

The name escapes me. Liberty?

Recently, I read that they were not keeping it in good condition.....or have I got it all wrong?

[M Kehoe]

Just out of curiosity, how many times a month does the 'ronery' one threaten war? Methinks little Kimmy Il needs to take his Prozac.

5.56mm

Pueblo, IIRC

Liberty was the ship bombed by Israel

Re #28

Probably once a month.:)

[SandRat]

The name escapes me too but it was commanded by Commander Lloyd M. Bucher, and it was relatively small unarmed vessel designed to sit just out side the national water boundary in international waters and electronically eavesdrop on everything they were doing; from radars to telephone conversations.

Testing,1,2,3, Testing.

Re #31

It's USS Pueblo. They towed it to Pyongyang and had put it on display. You can still see it today if you go to Pyongyang. Something U.S.N may have to take back once China Fruit is gone.

[Bear_Slayer]

this should be taken seriously,

Every year, west-pac marines play war games in S. Korea and every year N. Korea spouts off; louder when it is advantageous to them.

[Semper Paratus]

I'd notice if NK didn't say anything about the excercise this year.

[SandRat]

Take back hell! I much prefer a more direct insult. Like a salvo of enough exocet missile skimming to target to make it nothing more than refrigerators magnets blown everywhere near the harbor.

I meant Exocet because maybe we can con the Frogs into playing in a naval exercise and firing in a safe range in the vicinity Exocet missiles and...... see where I'm going?

We get the sweet taste of revenge and leave Chia-Pervert with no viable proof of who did it or how other than pointing a conjecture of Frogs in the area firing Excocets and it was by what little forensic evidence they could find an Exocet the caused the detonations.

[Gritty]

The North Korean lunatics have been bitching about these annual exercises for decades. Occaisionally we call one off when it seems the NKs might genuinely go off their rockers.

Let 'em bitch.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

We should've destroyed the Pueblo the week after it was taken.

[TwoWolves]

Oh, we might start in a good position, but one nuke in the harbor could turn that around in a hurry.

[BBell]

I participated in two Team Spirit exercises in The 80's and this is basically what the N. Koreans always said then. Well, as a good will gesture to peace talks we stopped having Team Spirit exercises. Allot of good that did!
