Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Hate multiplies
hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction....The chain reaction
of evil--hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars--must be broken, or we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of
annihilation.
Martin Luther King, Jr., Strength To Love, 1963.


I'm hoping that the West doesn't use this situation with Korea to try and further their power interests in the region and just sticks to the interests of peace.

Really? I'm hoping the opposite. I'm dead serious, by the way.

I'm hoping for a military revolution in North and a four year reunification plan with the South.

Any other bets?

Notice how the South Koreans didn't care much about their warship being sunk. They're too busy shopping.

Americans are too busy shopping plus worrying about the latest celebrity escapades. The Europeans are too busy finally understanding that the euro is a fairy tale.

So North Korean ship-sinking, as Shakespeare would say, is just a lot of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

huh i don't know where you get the info that South Koreans do not care about having their ship sunk.

Sure NK has been talking crap for the last few years and more with crazy announcements like "If you continue sanctions we will go for an ALL-OUT war", but they actually made a military strike on them this time. Even for a country like NK, that is not just sound and fury..

After decades of tensions, sure South Koreans are used to having NK doing their thing, but this is already escalating quickly. I don't get why SK did not declare war, i am sure it has to do with the UN. Imagine the US having it's ship sunk not by "terrorists", but by an actual country, and having that country telling them to basically f*ck off or they will declare all-out war...

And NK could actually damage South Korea, they got missile batteries that can reach Seoul apparently. My friend lives in SK and tells me right now it's

Didn't you promise me 15 gc as compensation for your hostile takeovers, then never delivered?

And the South Koreans care so much that they're going to do, what exactly?

Still waiting on you getting your shares out. I did my first part already, waiting on you. If you want to continue talking about this, you can contact me ingame.


As for the topic on hand that interests me here, i think i mentioned the obvious to your question... war? It's not like they are not ready for it. Like i said, if it wasn't for the UN(my opinion of course..), SK would be all over them.

China is not going to back NK up for that long on this road, and so is Russia. They like what NK is doing, but not to a point where they are ridiculed for keeping this support... the evidence that the torpedo came from NK is almost fullproof... And if China and Russia pulls out their support, NK has no more weapons supply, nobody to veto economic sanctions on them, etc.

I am still wondering why you said South Koreans don't care, i don't understand... Where is that coming from..? You talking about the populatio
