[/release][quote=CNN][B]Seoul, South Korea (CNN)[/B] -- North Korea reacted to a South Korean anti-submarine exercise early Thursday by saying it would meet "confrontation with confrontation" and war with "all-out war," according to North Korean state-run media.
"Now that the puppet group challenged the DPRK [North Korea] formally and blatantly, the DPRK will react to confrontation with confrontation, and to a war with an all-out war," according the KCNA news agency.
The news agency referred to South Korean leaders as a "group of traitors" and said they would experience "unheard of disastrous consequences" if they misunderstand North Korea's will.
The response comes amid high tensions on the Korean peninsula, after Seoul blamed Pyongyang for the sinking in March of a South Korean warship. An official South Korean report has accused the communist North of firing a torpedo at the ship, killing 46 sailors.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, visiting Seoul on Wednesday, called the sinking "an unacceptable provocation by [URL="http://topics.edition.cnn.com/topics/North_Korea"]North Korea[/URL]" and said the international community should respond.
Al
so Thursday, the general staff of North Korea's military -- the Korean People's Army, or KPA -- said it was enacting new measures to deal with any "all-out confrontation."
The steps would "retract all measures for providing military guarantees for the North-South cooperation and exchange, and the promise of a physical strike.
"The KPA will make a prompt physical strike at the intrusion into the extension of the Military Demarcation Line under our side's control in the West Sea of Korea," the army said, according to the KCNA news agency.[/quote]
tl;dr North Korea says, it will only go to war, if South goes to war.

Good luck to all participants!
That was pretty obvious already, nobody expected NK to just back down if the south would attack.
I'm calling a midnight attack tomorrow or in 2 days though, anyone else in on the bet?

Refer to OP for bet participants.
:10bux:Attack will happen within next 2 weeks
:10bux: :20bux: next month after failed negotiations
Where is the "Clean nukes are dropped on NK" option?
(Before you bash me, I'm kidding now :v: )
:20bux: nothing will happen
Next month after failed negotiations :20bux:
Attack will happen within the next 2 weeks :20bux::20bux::20bux::20bux:

[QUOTE=starpluck;22216350]Refer to OP for bet participants.[/QUOTE]
That is so ridiculously macabre.
I like it. Not gonna place a bet though.
:10bux: on Pyongyang announcing further missile tests and military drills in response. Another :10bux: on no war within a month.
I bet :20bux::20bux::20bux::20bux: on within 2 weeks!
Putting :20bux::20bux: on the guess that an attack will happen sometime within this year.
:20bux: Next two weeks.
:20bux: Nothing.
I'll put 50 on the next 2 weeks.
I got $100 that the war starts with the North firing on another ship because they think it's in their waters, by wednesday
I bet three frogs on the attack occurring after failed negotiations
:frog::frog::frog:
One Klendathu Dollars it will happen on Sunday. At 1800 eastern standard

We're all going to die! D:
Shit's gonna go down soon. Dunno when, but it'll sure go down.
It's probably gonna be a bit naive to hope that they won't be packing nukes this time around, but we can only hope they don't send any little presents our way...
