North Korea on Saturday denied that it sank a South Korean naval vessel near their disputed sea border late last month. There has been growing speculation in the South that the ship had been hit by a North Korean torpedo, killing 46 sailors and raising fears it could trigger conflict on the divided peninsula.

NOT FOR SALE FOR MARKETING OR ADVERTISING CAMPAIGNS[/I] [quote=Associated Press] By KWANG-TAE KIM, Associated Press Writer Kwang-tae Kim, Associated Press Writer – Sat Apr 17, 3:07 am ET SEOUL, South Korea – North Korea accused South Korea on Saturday of spreading false rumors that the communist North was to blame for the mysterious explosion that sank a southern warship near the tense sea border. North Korean officials have denied involvement in the blast that broke the 1,200-ton Cheonan into two pieces March 26 during a routine patrol near sea border, killing at least 38. South Korean officials have not openly blamed the North for one of its worst naval disasters, but an investigator said Friday the explosion was most likely external. Officials have not ruled out a North Korean floating mine or torpedo in the disputed border waters where three past inter-Korean naval battles have been fought. The North's official Korean Central News Agency on Saturday carried a commentary by an unidentified North Korean military commentator saying Seoul is spreading rumors. "The military warmongers are getting more undisguised in their moves to link the accident with the North, though it was caused by their fault," said the commentator. The commentator accused the South of seeking to blame North Korea in order to strengthen the ruling party's position in upcoming local elections and shore up international sanctions against the North. The U.N. Security Council slapped on tough new sanctions on North Korea following its second nuclear test last year. The divided peninsula remains technically at war, since the 1950-53 Korean War ended in a cease-fire, not a peace treaty. The state media commentary marked the first official North Korean response to the sinking. Previously, North Korean officials had been reported by South Korean media as privately assuring Chinese officials the North's military had no part in the disaster. North Korea's accusation came a day after chief South Korean investigator Yoon Duk-yong told reporters after examining the ship that there was a "high possibility of an external explosion" that sunk the ship. Fifty-eight of the ship's crew were rescued while the ship was sinking and 38 bodies have been found, most of them Thursday when the stern was raised from the water. Eight crew members are still unaccounted for.[/quote] [IMG]http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/1289/43268312.png[/IMG]

Looks like South Korea has a hole lot of problems.

Yeah because North Korea are such angels.

It's not unheard of. But in this case i doubt it.

I am getting pretty fucking sick of North Korea. What an annoying country.

Since they're technically at war, if the North did sink it, they were just doing their job.

[QUOTE=theycallmedark;21406143]Since they're technically at war, if the North did sink it, they were just doing their job.[/QUOTE] Yes they are still at war, but under a ceasefire. So doing something like that would break the ceasefire and start off the Korean War again.

Korea needs to sort itself out. :colbert:

Can we just start this war and blow the fuck out of them

[QUOTE=The mouse;21406316]Can we just start this war and blow the fuck out of them[/QUOTE] It would end up hitting South Korea too, and South Korea is one of the United States' allies. You would end up killing lots of innocent people. Also, most of the people in North Korea want to escape from there... So, no.

[QUOTE=angelangel;21406183]Yes they are still at war, but under a ceasefire. So doing something like that would break the ceasefire and start off the Korean War again.[/QUOTE] Would that mean that, technically, if fighting did break out it wouldn't be the Second Korean War, just simply a continuation of the first?

Uh, yeah pretty much.

[QUOTE=Disgruntled;21407603]One sniper, one bullet, one Kim Jong Il.[/QUOTE] You would never be able to get near Kim. Nor could you get anyone in Korea to do it. And if you did manage to waste the little prick, have fun getting out.

[QUOTE=Disgruntled;21407603]One sniper, one bullet, one Kim Jong Il.[/QUOTE]He's already dead

The funny part is the pictures I have seen of North Korea remind me a lot of COD4's version of Pripyat.

[QUOTE=Thomas849;21409006]You would never be able to get near Kim. Nor could you get anyone in Korea to do it. And if you did manage to waste the little prick, have fun getting out.[/QUOTE] Yes, but say the American military went storming in as they do enjoy doing. Then it'd just be a matter of finding old Kimmy :clint:

[QUOTE=Disgruntled;21407603]One sniper, one bullet, one Kim Jong Il.[/QUOTE] They already have a successor picked out though, you wouldn't achieve anything.

[QUOTE=Dr Magnusson;21409436]They already have a successor picked out though, you wouldn't achieve anything.[/QUOTE] Either that or a body double.

Why don't we just get the U.N. to condemn them again and invade. It's not like China is going to support them. They'd probably help actually.

no they wouldn't. china would be pretty angry actually. but i don't know if they would join the war. they would probably just house refugees, send aid, and possibly do a few diplomatically drastic things in response.

Fuck off North Korea. Stop being dicks.

Why don't we get Russia to invade?

[QUOTE=lulzbocks;21410015]Why don't we just get the U.N. to condemn them again and invade. It's not like China is going to support them.

All their people die, but they don't care. All our people die, and western civilization is fucked. Besides, we're too busy fucking up in iraq and afghanistan.

Wasn't it just an old sea mine? What are they whining about?

I actually think NK is correct. Because if they really sunk the ship they have celebrated it, like "HOLY MOTHERLAND NORTH KOREA HAS SENT DEATH UPON THE COWARD SOUTH KOREA WITH THE BLESSED TORPEDOES MADE BY KIM JONG IL!

I just know one of these days...I'm gunna miss ole Kim-jung-ill
