North Korea sinks S. Korean Warship. oh f*ck

[Panzerjaeger]

If NK really attacked SK then NK could well become a prime candidate for the 21st century Darwin award.

Kim-Jung Il has had brain tumors he has nothing to lose but his chains! Dear Leader lead DPRK to great Juche victory in afterlife!

[Blitzkrenia]

As a S. Korean, I'm not particularly worried, but that might be because I'm way too used to this to a state of near immunity.

Yeah, if boat hadn't have sunk, this probably wouldn't have made the news in Korea.

[Buffett and Colbert]

What would the point of running to the embassy be?

Perhaps my fellow Americans could help me get out of the country if war is declared? Wishful thinking?

Why on Earth do you think war will be declared? You heard Archy. These things are far from uncommon; they also likely occur more often than we know about, but nothing happens. But if war is declared... Yes, the embassy would be a good option.

[Person012345]

Fight off the northeners with every breath. Seriously, go volunteer. Otherwise you'll have to live under north korean government.

[Pwnshop]

I suspect that LG selected atleast option #8

[Karsol]

The news clip dsays the NK are communists...NK has denied this, heck their policies refute this.

No communist would support them...well, maybe out of spite, but no hardcore support.

Hope it turns out to be a childish test or something, considering their leader has God complex and probably doesn't understand the international consequences of such an act,.

Juche is a very oddball ideology having read some of Kim Jung-Il's writings I was disturbed how well he could write and how easily he promoted a very warped ideology while trying to mesh it with Marxism. His whole Koreans are the Supermen that will lead humanity into its next evolution was scary if not oddly reminiscent of the NSDAP.

[Anime Daisuki]

They are going to cover this up, trust me.

How is the DPRK going to cover up a torpedo attack off their coastline? If anything the RoK is keeping quiet about this in order to keep a panic from happening.

The government of SK hasn't said it was the PDRK, but that's expected. Somehow, though, I doubt this will escalate. Ships have been firing on each other pretty frequently the past few decades, and this really isn't anything new, except that this time one of the torpedoes (according to speculation) hit instead of missed.

[Saige Dragon]

Maybe it's that monster from The Host. If so, stay the fuck out of the sewers.

[Risottia]

... except that this time one of the torpedoes (according to speculation) hit instead of missed.

So the real news is that NK has got better torpedoes than the usual Chinese knock-off copies from Soviet WW2 weapons...

[Noveras (Ancient)]

Well may be China is using Korea as a distraction.While USA fighting there China will invade Taiwan.Just a theory but I don't think anyone want to play this game and there have been no confirmation that it is the N.Korean who sank that Frigate.I could just be an internal explosion(I'm majoring in marine engineer).The only damaged that can cause such damaged is a torpedo or internal explosion.

About your question,you can either be a man and fight for your country and die with honor or you can run and live for about 40 or 60 years longer if you din't get any health problem of had an accident and in the end die on your bed knowing you will die after all ^_^

[Londim]

It's still not confirmed that NK did this. Also you have to ask the question, if NK didn't do this then who did?
Also since this seems like a regular sort of event between the two nations I doubt WW3 will start any time soon.

Or that they got lucky. Either one. If you figure they've been trying this for a while, statistically speaking it's only a matter of time until they hit.

Maybe one of their sub skippers finally learned how to breathe diesel that or they learned how to make a proper firing solution.

IT COULD BE DAGON!!!!!!

[Parthenon]

Eh, its just some PR for generals hoping to take the reigns when Kim dies.

South Korea and the US is going to cover this up. It is not in their interest to start a war there.

Haven't you noticed they've been bribing and kow-towing the North Koreans for the last 20 years?

Technically, we are still at war with NK...

All we have is a cease fire.

[Anime Daisuki]

That is beside the point.

[Panzerjaeger]

That is beside the point.

Not really Parthenon is quite correct there is nothing to stop a Shooting War from picking up right away. It is just a temporary interlude and at this point it is whoever blinks first that will start the shooting. This kind of daredevil provocation happens from both the South and the North.

I live in Seoul, so I have just one question for you, NSG. Should I pack my bags and head for the American Embassy?

Pack your bags, but I don't think you need to leave yet.

[Greed and Death]

Dr. Kim jung Il, sinking a ship is not the correct means to convince the world to give your country food.
