[b]South Korea's intelligence chief is reported to have said that North Korea is very likely to attack again, a week
after an artillery strike on a South Korean island.[/b]
[quote]The revelation came hours after officials said Seoul was planning more military exercises with the US.
On 23 November North Korea shelled the island of Yeonpyeong, killing at least four South Koreans.
The disputed border area has been the scene of numerous clashes in the past.
Won Sei-hoon, director of South Korea's National Intelligence Service, told a parliamentary committee behind closed doors that the recent attacks came amid "internal complaints" about Pyongyang's third generation succession and worsening economic situation, according to a ruling party official.
"There is a high possibility that the North will make another attack," South Korea's Yonhap news agency quoted him as saying, adding that the government was trying to burnish the credentials of the designated leader who was still very young and untested, and also win new concessions from the international community.
South Korea is building up defences on Yeonpyeong island, but some senior officials have told the BBC they hope Mr Won is wrong and the worst of the current crisis is over.
"There will be ongoing measures as you said to beef up our forces including the stationing of new weapons, upgrading our marines on Yeonpyeong island but I think on this particular crisis we are reaching the apex and we will see a gradual de-escalation," said Chung Min Lee, ambassador for international security affairs.
The BBC's Chris Hogg in Seoul says the South Koreans are anxious to avoid the impression that bad behaviour by the North will be rewarded with talks or offers of aid.[/quote]

The north Koreans are fools, there economy is in disarray and they have a weak and outdated military.
I say let them come.
They may engage in more brinkmanship, but there's no way they'll be launching any sort of full-scale invasion. While we all make jokes about the leader of Best Korea, he's not /that/ insane - he knows he'd never win a war. Really, the best NK can hope for is to eventually assimilate into a greater Korea with some measure of power and dignity left.
Damnit, I thought we were done with this?
Are you going to war or not?
He's attacking to get attention and a reputation for his son. Let's hope he knows not to do anything beyond that.

They're just waving there dick around, I doubt they are going to do anything too serious.
Well then again they do have that tool for a leader.

Bookmarking this post, on the off chance south Korea gets reduced to a pile of ash next week.
North Korea is probably likely to attack because the South Koreans think its smart to have the same military exercise again that caused this whole incident in the first place!

I'll bet an arm and a leg that North Korea will get smashed.
For fuck sake can we get the fucking war started already?
Christ there's so much tension in the fucking air I can cut it with a knife and serve it as a delicious cake.
North Korea is [b][i]STILL[/i][/b] Best Korea.

North Korea's leaders are fucking arrogant sociopaths who hypnotize their citizens to believe lie afters lie.
Their country is completely fucked, that's all I can describe it as.
Perhaps... but they're still the best.

They have artillery from the 1960's.

Actually it's incredibly weak, just very large. Their soldiers are underfed and most of their equipment is still from the cold war.
[QUOTE=poopsicle;26443878]They have artillery from the 1960's.[/QUOTE]
And deadly NO DONG missiles.

Plus an army that would make the Imperial Japanese cringe.

Haunting my son in his nightmares didn't seem to work :colbert:
Any suggestions?

Artillery from world war 1 will still kill people dumbass.
Artillery is artillery, tanks are tanks and guns are guns, they all do the same job.

Well no fucking shit, I was saying that their tech is so outdated it would be inferior to the enemy's.
I hope not.

Remember that our artillery will out fire, out range, and out kill anything they have. Our planes will out fly anything they have, our tanks will fuck their tanks like they were virgin pussies, while our guns shoot farther and faster than theirs. Their shit is weak.

They may have an outdated military, but with 1.5 million ground toops, they're not exactly weak. The big weakness is their air force. They fly 1970's Soviet jets, and 99% of pilots fly no more than 7 hours per year.
[QUOTE=poopsicle;26444029]Well no fucking shit, I was saying that their tech is so outdated it would be inferior to the enemy's.[/QUOTE]
Inferior tech is still able to kill people, are you unable to grasp that?
They have numbers on there side, and remember the war on the eastern front? remember how the russians with their inferior gear managed to halt the german advance MILES from stalingrad, and then fucking hammered the germans all the way back across russia and straight into berlin?
Inferior tech, with numbers on its side still stands a chance.

Um...Germans were IN Stalingrad...they bombed the fuck out of it, and had a full scale assault on the city.
@ Bravehat - Not this time. Technology's come a long way since 1945 - America's military strength could annihilate North Korea, because it is simply too advanced and powerful for NK to defeat.

I think he was referring to Leningrad. Not to mention they also managed to halt them at Moscow.

Moscow is west of Stalingrad, but yes Leningrad is basically where it stopped.

Allow me to introduce you to the modern north korean battle tank.

See the thing is, north korea doesn't care about patents, they will just steal ideas and armour for their equipment.

Minor detail, they still stopped the germans advancing and truned them back across the icy wastes :v:
