North and South Korea exchange dozens of artillery shells across their tense western sea border, in one of the most serious incidents since the Korean War ended without a ceasefire in 1953.

North Korea always does cra*p like this. most of the time it is for extra aid or to stop the south doing something near the border which in this case seems to be the reason. unfortunaly though it always works in favour of North Korea no doubt they'll score some extra aid for this as they'll use it as a way to enter 6 nation talks again.

The Korean War never officially ended in 1953. An armistice was signed because the war became a stalemate so the front line became the agreed border between North and South and the DMZ is 2km either side of it.  This is just a continuation of the hostilities that started 60 years ago  :P. The North claim these western border islands should be theirs and this isn't the first time they have attacked the South over them.

This attack would also have something to do with the new kid on the block in North Korea trying to show he's as much a Western-hating psycho leader as his father was  :help.

Last person to leave North Korea turn the one remaining light off  ;D


As an aside this will hurt Korea's 2022 World Cup bid as its main selling point to FIFA was building more friendly ties between the two Koreas including playing some games in the North.

Wasn't it a "police action" as war was never declared?
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Yep in the US it was called a "police action" as there was no declaration of war by the US Congress.

China will still want the buffer state that North Korea provides to remain.

Rudd can keep dribbling on his crap China arent going to pay attention to him.
Having North Korea as a buffer state is in China's interests the last thing they want is Western forces being able to sit on there border. Plus they might look at the soviet union as example of if your buffer state collapses. Wasn't long after East Germany fell the hole Soviet Union did.

The Americans and South Koreans are about to do joint military exercises. If the North Koreans stupidly attack a US vessel then the proverbial will really hit the fan  :help. South Koreans are already burning effigies of tiga's avatar.
