North & South Korea at war ...again?

[warhed]

If someone like Russia or Iran started live firing exercises within US waters do you guys think you'd just sit there with your fingers up your backside?

We'd ask them nicely, to stop.  If they didn't we'd explain how disappointed we were.   

[Yeager]

Well as it stands it appears SK was conducting a military exercise in this area and firing into NK territory (albeit water). So who is the aggressor? And do your comments still stand given that they would support that NK should have retaliated as it did?

Those waters are disputed territory.  You do appear to favor the North Korean claim on those waters.

[Ack-Ack]

Only NK claims those waters as being within their country's borders, it's not an internationally recognized claim.  To answer your question, the aggressor is the one that sank a RoK naval vessel and shelled Yeonpyeong Island.

What does this have to do with the price of apples.

If I understand correctly the waters that are currently occupied by the south are disputed. The south alledgedly was lobbing shells into the waters north of the disputed territory (ie into undisputed waters).

I'm not favouring any claims, just putting out the facts to the angry mob

Yep. Fact also is SK shells landed in disputed water, NK shells on civilian buildings inside SK territory (not disputed). Kind of a big difference there.

If we went to War with N Korea and China entered in like they did last time....many Americans will be pissed off and our numbers would rise greatly.

'God, I'm so ticked off at the Chinese... let's bang!'

I dont know about that.  First off: Possesion of any disputed territory is 9/10ths ownership.

Also, Facts are the leading cause of deception in most cases.  

If the North wants to take the South to war over this dispute I do not see what choice the South has other than full out war or capitulation.
A single tactical nuclear weapon detonated in Pyongyang should end it decisively, before millions die all across the peninsula in a drawn out war.

I don't think we'll nuke Pyongyang and RoK doesn't have nukes.  I also don't think we'll see any further actions from NK or RoK out of fear this will spiral out of control.

Aren't you a cute little guppie.  Who says the waters SK was firing into is NK territory and not international or disputed territory in the region?  Probabley only NK...  *hint* *hint*
