[quote]South Korea is preparing to stage one of its largest ever military drills amid taut relations with the North.
Hundreds of troops, tanks, helicopters and jet fighters are gathering some 20km (12 miles) from the heavily armed land border.
Tension has been high since North Korea shelled the South's Yeonpyeong island last month, killing four South Koreans.
The North has branded the exercises "warmongering" but its criticism has been more muted than normal.
'Drills for invasion'
The South Korean army has made no secret of the fact the drill aims to display its full firepower to its neighbour.
"Yes, it will be a show of force," one army officer told Associated Press news agency.
Thursday's drill is being held at Pocheon, about 50km from central Seoul.
Exercises have been held at Pocheon before, but this would be on an unprecedented scale, an army spokesman said.

Although the South has conducted no fewer than 47 military drills this year, this is the largest winter live-fire exercise ever conducted on land.
It is scheduled to start at 1400 local time (0500 GMT) and last about an hour, with more than 100 types of weapons deployed, including tanks, anti-tank missiles, helicopters and fighter jets.
When the North fired on Yeonpyeong last month it said it was in response to a live-fire drill by the South.
A statement by the North's official KCNA news agency said of the latest drills: "[South Korea] is trying to hide the provocative nature toward the North of the war exercises."
A commentary in the North's Rodong Sinmun newspaper said: "The Korean peninsula has turned sharply unstable on the brink of war due to scheming by the US to militarily stifle the North."
The South is simultaneously conducting four days of naval exercises. The North called those "fanatical drills for invasion".
But the comments have been far less strident than threats issued last week of retaliation over the South's impending military drills.
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said: "Exercises that have been announced well in advance, that are transparent, that are defensive in nature, should in no way engender a response from the North Koreans."[/quote]
Theyre just trying to provoke the north so that they attack first and so china wont aid them.
lol
Well, Duh. Of course they have to show up the NK.
Best Korea has no dongs, its ok.
Whenever I see something that has North Korea vs. South Korea or WW3 I get scared for like 3 seconds.
it's not like China's going to help NK either way anyway

if we invaded first, theyd really fuck with us economically because theyve got some sort of business interest in NK. If they attacked first, there's nothing they could do.
I hope the South scares the shit of them.

yeah, except one has nukes and the other doesn't
[QUOTE]The North has branded the exercises "warmongering"[/QUOTE]
And shelling an island isn't warmongering?
No matter how much dick waving they do, they genetically still have small dicks.
[QUOTE=NickFury666;26895941]The Koreas are in a big nuclear pissing contest[/QUOTE]
expect North Korea probably doesn't even have any nukes and they're bad liars.

It's more hip-waving, really. Though, that is only if they had enough nourishment and energy to actually wave their hips.
[QUOTE=NickFury666;26895941]The Koreas are in a big nuclear pissing contest[/QUOTE]
yeah just think about the nuclear weapons that south korea has!
NOT
Their both waving their dicks around, admittedly the North are trying to provoke the South but my point remains.
All the silly americunts in this thread thinking that they would actually win any war against a competent army are funny in their head. Even New Sealand would push you over easily

Now see, that's just wrong. Conventional armies are things America is good at fighting.

South Korea was just chilling until North Korea started being total douchebags. Now the South is just trying to stop the attempts at pushing it around.
They're just going to throw shit at each other's feet. Who's gonna get shit on their shoe first?
