South Korea has hit back

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea says it has scrambled F-16 fighter jets and returned fire after North Korea shot dozens of rounds of artillery onto a populated South Korean island near the countries' western border.

edit: "Smoke rose from South Korea's Yeonpyeong Island after North Korea reportedly fired hundreds of rounds of artillery from its stronghold on the west coast."

oh god not again

Here we go...

This seems like an awfully bad idea for North Korea, considering that South Korea's national sport is waging tactical warfare.

I highly doubt that American troops would get involved.

I hope to God you're right.

This crap never goes anywhere. They have been picking eachother off little by little for years. Do they want to have a war, by just killing a few people here and then over the span of a century? Or is someone gonna straight up declare a WAR?!

Yes, but tactical warfare that really plays on 4 thousand years from now, on a sci-fi universe and effective against aliens

First, who would we send? Second, South Korea would have nuked them from orbit by the time a sizable force got there. :P

True, but the fundamentals and basic strategys can still be applied to modern warfare.

If this is a real conflict then I say it's the last straw. Jong is going down.

as much as s.korea shows continence,n.korea wants this war,and i don't why.it looks like a suicide attack to me;so either i underestimate them or their leader is utterly delusional about his power.

There's so much to consider here. I would be more comfortable if the UN was involved, and not just the US.

Nothing is going to happen

South Korea will keep taking there (#$(# and not doing anything while the North will continue bullying and pushing them around.

Edit: Any money North Korea will say it was a accident and that they were firing artillery shells but the wind caught them and magically somehow that's how they hit the island.

As soon as I clicked on this article a news report on the tv about this came on. Freaky.

Anywho, I personally welcome WWIII and the rationality that will succeed it.

Does Kim Il Jong even have any support from any other countries?

Wow. Play the lottery today. The universe wont stay on sync with you for much longer

China's their closest trade partner but they won't do anything.

I doubt anything will come of it, just like the SK ship earlier this year.

Indeed, it is quite obvious they want this war...like when they torpedoed that S.Korean cruiser. The question is why, maybe they have nukes and are just eager to shoot them at someone .

Just saw this on BBC. Please let this be another false alarm. I don't want to see American troops being sent back to Korea.limpbizkit818

I say WWIII in the context that it's a brief, but catastrophic nuclear exchange wiping out most of the Northern Hemisphere.

[QUOTE="Head_of_games"] WWIII? Maybe, in the sense that it's the entire world vs NK. :P I doubt any of their allies would defend an unprovoked attack.Head_of_games

The countries aiming nukes at N.K are. If it gets to that point China, not being cool anymore, will probably panic and blast anything that moves. Besides, the word on the street is that N.K planning something big.

Most excellent :lol:

Although I was referring to the talk that N.K plans to become a world superpower on the anniversary of its founder. Probably gunna try and take out S.K and Japan.

If it did that, North Korea would cease to be a country.

What possible reason would its leaders have to do that?

Hence the "WWIII" I was talking about. And I think it's pretty obvious why this would happen. Kim Jong-il is a lonely person.

Inb4 Team America thread.

Attacking an insignificant island and allowing your enemy to defend themselves isn't the best way to start a war.

Well, just read that south korea returned fire with their own artillery.

I don't know much about this crazy, crazy world.... but I do know this:

If you don't let us f*** this a**hole... we're going to have our d**** AND p****** all covered in s***....
