I went with "The crisis is contained". But if push comes to shove, then I think that in the end, NK would lose, but it would be a phyrric victory for the victors.

Saber-rattling. That punk-ass mo-fo has to prove what a big man he is.

What he really is, is just another tyrant, who should be blindfolded in front of a firing squad.

One wrong move and No. Korea will be _NO_ No. Korea. The 7th fleet battlegroup is awaiting
and they got nukes the likes of which kimmy-boy should be shitting his pants over.

Well, unless kimmy-boy hits Japan or the US I wouldn't go so far as to say it would be a phyrric victory.

If he wasn't so close to our allies in South Korea and our F-N-S buddies in Communist China, he would probably
have seen some airstrikes by now, just to show him that we ain't fooling around with him. One land war there
was plenty enough.

In other news, South Korea deploy Psy to the border with North Korea to sing Gangnam Style to them, which puts the North Korean troops into a trance state where they all put down their weapons and continue to sing and dance Gangnam Style indefinitely.

I'd say probably nothing. The whole thing will die away just like before. Either side has too much to lose, particularly the obese Kim and his friends. I hope so, since I hope to travel there later this year. :P

The real story it seems is that the US and South Korea have been conducting large military drills in the area again and the North is just responding to it by regurgitating the same threats again.

In many ways I wouldn't blame the North for its antagonism towards the US, considering the North lost a huge chunk of its population during the Korean War. I never knew how bad it was until I read THIS.

This isn't to defend the fat dictator though, but studying history and putting the whole affair in proper context is always better to do than drinking the Main-Stream Media kool-aid.
