South Korea vs. North Korea (Conflict Thread)

[Denny]

I know that their ground forces are significant in number because that's the only way for the average person to make any sort of life for themselves. I'm tired of the precedence that's been set of dealing with despots with kid gloves and foreign aid. Stupid diplomacy.

Thank goodness I just get to complain and not responsible for offering any real solutions.

I feel you pain, bro. There are always attempts within NK to plot mutiny. Too bad nothing gets accomplished. Maybe facing a war against the south and the US again will be just what it takes to have their people finally do what they should have done long ago.

Forgive my ignorance on the subject but aren't NK and SK still technically at war because they only signed a cease fire in 1953? What does it take to "officially" negate a cease fire?

Is it even possible with NK's media blackout to accurate gauge the percentage of people that know their government is run by a lunatic?

Correct. It also has no expiration. All it "officially" takes is for one side to claim that the other violated it. Moderators like the UN, NATO, etc. can either agree or disagree with the assessment, but so far it has never been a deciding factor (see several mideast treaties for reference).

As for the common people being ignorant to KJI's sham, if the country is supplied fuels, food and money by the US just to sustain life and the poverty-stricken people see shit like KJI's military parades and nuke plants, they catch on real quick. This is no exaggeration... not one person is "well-off" in North Korea unless he/she has KJI's permission.

If I were a general, I'd want to keep those guys alive. I agree with Patton on the matter.

Right. There's no need to do it now. We can just drone it up these days.

[YALE]

I couldn't count the number of people that would roger-up for it.

That would almost certainly be a suicide mission.

Well if rumors are true, he is going to kick the bucket sometime soon. That country will probably go into a civil war with the vacuum of power his death will create. Perfect time for the US to pick a side and get a new regime in.

I still would prefer a sniper to just take him out. I don't know why they don't do it.

I agree with you, but that doesn't mean that they have to get our approval to do it. Besides, aren't they having these maneuvers around SK waters? Your analogy is slightly flawed if that's the case.

Since when did we need their approval for ANYTHING?

China has warned against military activity near its coastline ahead of U.S.-Korea naval exercises, according to Reuters.

China's Foreign Ministry said in an online posting that naval exercises risks starting a war: "We oppose any military act by any party conducted in China's exclusive economic zone without approval."

North Korea has also threatened to respond to military gestures with more attacks: "The situation on the Korean peninsula is inching closer to the brink of war due to the reckless plan of those trigger-happy elements to stage again war exercises targeted against the (North)."
