i highly doubt that the US is involved. we're not looking for a fight with N. korea, and south korea cant defeat N.korea, so if a conflict arises we would have to intervene, which is something we dont want to do.
anything that would stir up more aggression between north and south korea is something that we do not want.

I don't have feelings. I had them surgically removed when I was four years old.
But nice try to save face....Didn't work though.
I'd point out the irony in your opening retort as well but it'd only be lost on you.
Anyway...Moving on...
North Korea is getting increasingly isolated as China distances itself from the regime because it knows it's getting more benefit on the international stage than it will from supporting its old ally.
I personally think that North Korea are more dangerous without China's backing than with it. China was the primary input into NK's economy...Without its backing NK will collapse entirely and it'll force them either into finally cooperating with the world or into taking stupid and desperate measures to secure its economy (Like Iraq did in Kuwait)

without backing from china, how long do you think N.korea would last in any type of engagement if it made a power play?

Obviously they're planning to provoke a war with North Korea in order to create the final Crest of Blood for their planetary transmutation circle.

Touch me down there and I'll be fine.

Against who?...Just SK?...They'd lose
Unfortunately for NK, SK has far more allies than they do.
The OECD countries and APEC countries.
Of course there's the small matter that there's 28,000 US troops (USFK) permanently stationed in SK to take into consideration also.
There are a few possibilities.
# N. Korea sank a S. Korea ship just like that, left evidence and were silly billies because they must have know they would get found out. Or are they so thick and arn´t aware of modern "drag a net on the sea bed" technology🙂
# It was a false flag attack, in order to have a reason to "sort" N.Korea out once and for all.
# The Russians did it to provoke a war, hoping that NATO get involved so they can attack an unproteced Europe.
# Aliens did it to get us humans fighting even more, so people wathc more "big brother" and other mind numbing shows so they can eventually come along without being noticed.

Hahaha.
Well it's just a theory, you can't rule out all possibilities when dealing with international affairs like this. It's no secret US/North Korean relations are bad, perhaps an event like this will make the North Koreans seem even worse and thus creating a call to action?
I don't know just a speculation.
Jaden, please drop it. There is no need to insult people because they didn't like your all-caps big-size text. Keep to the discussion at hand or there will be consequences.
Just like North Korea...?
I don't think there should be another war, but I'll be damned if Kim can just start shooting people and nothing happens.

It was already dropped.

Well then damned you are because nothing will happen because of it, at least not militarily. Sanctions at worst.
Agreed, you can only push people so far before retilation breaks out. I'm surprised it hasn't come already to be honest.
"South Korea’s Lee Myung-bak announced his retaliation plan for the attack on the Cheonan this morning in Seoul. Although restrained like he has been for the past two months, the president finally referred to the possibility of war:
“If our territorial waters, airspace or territory are militarily violated, we will immediately exercise our right of self-defense.â€
Here we go again

No one wants to start a war with North Korea, what is the gain? It's a relatively poor country and Kimmy is getting old, better to wait him out and then make a move, if one is to be made.I do somewhat think Kim might make an attack once he older and closer to death, the nut.
You should be a defence secretary for USA. And I mean this.

irony?
Not at all, his proposed approach would actually avoid unnecessary conflict.
And Kim is not that stupid to attack anyone - if he wanted to, he would have done so by now.
He would simply not. China would freak out, and so would Japan and USA, and then he'd be annihilated.
If USA is to go in, however, not as easy. China would freak out and possibly Russians too, and noone would have a happy easy ride.

"what is the gain? It's a relatively poor country"That was the part that disturbed me, what if the country was rich or had mineral resources, then it would be ok to attack it?
I think he was referng to the countries ability to fight a prolonged war campagn. With few resources and money not to mention the affect of sanctions would limit their ability to really threaten anyone, except S.Korea.
