Sources in Europe told i-HLS correspondent that “The war declaration of North Korea on its southern neighbor creates a new global situation, necessitating also European countries to consider their military arrangement in anticipating extreme threats.“ The sources emphasized that such threat, considered as imaginary till recently, is realizing in front of our eyes.

The sources said that South Korea has shown a certain complacence regarding its ongoing tension with its fortified neighbor. “They relied mostly on the United States and, in my opinion, didn’t take enough steps for deterrence and defense”, said one of the sources. He said that at a certain stage South Korea examined purchase of Israeli systems for warning and defense, but ultimately the country remained almost totally dependent on the United States.

As for Europe, the sources said that a similar complacence exists in many of the continent’s countries. “The countries are acting in the frame of mind of participating in peace keeping forces like the one in Afghanistan, and not in a military arrangement necessitating defending home from real threats”, said one of the sources. He added, that Iran, Syria in certain scenarios, and certainly North Korea are equipped with ballistic missiles and can be a threat on the European continents.

“The European countries agree to deploy American anti-missile missiles in their territories, but none of them considers anti-missile protection as a high priority national task”, said one of the sources. He mentioned that South Korea has considered in the past purchase of the Iron Dome system from Israel, and at certain time the Arrow missile was undergoing “an initial examination”. The source explained that at the end South Korea remained fully dependent on the United States favors.

Is there a chance for changing this situation? The source said that he estimates that if the tension calms down a little, South Korea will continue its total reliance on American support.

To be fair I think the complacency is caused by the fact that every time the crops fail in North Korea they start rattling the sabre until someone gives them a hand out so it is at the point where no one really cares they ship them a few tons of rice and a butt load of heating oil and wait for next years "crisis".
 
What if? ihls, what if NK fires the first shot?
NK is the bratty little brother and China is the protective big brother. But how long will big brother protect little brother? Especially if little brother picks a fight that everyone knows little brother cannot win without big brother's help.

They didn't last time. It ended up as a truce. What about next time?
Big brother likes to do business with the US. They make and we buy. We make and they buy. Business is good between the US and China. Start a war, and business goes sour fast. How long can the US last without doing business with China? And how long would China last without doing business with the US?

The US has the capability to start producing it's own merchandise within a year or two. Can China?

And when there are natural disasters in China, the US is on it in a heartbeat. What about China? I may be mistaken, but I don't know of any aid that China gives the US when we have a disaster. I could be wrong though.
 
It sounds the secoend Korean war is coming, every party are making the worst planing,North korean,South korean,China and USA.

Will the CNN or BBC broadcast live the war?
 
Well, if you all don't hear from me for a while you'll know where I'm headed. My Brigade/Battalion is one of the few "trained ready" on our training cycle for combined arms in the entire Army right now...

I doubt the war will occur. Of course, this is the closest all parties have come to it in at least a generation...You can bet I'm going to keep my eye on it.
 
Let us guess---


when the war begining, the american use air power and long-range cruise missile bomb North Korean fircely. The USA use of South korean land force as "shell ash", take on duty of "liberate North korean. The american land force won't attack at the first offensive wave. when union force of South korean and America almost arrive at Pyongyang, the Chinese army interfere......
 
Udaka is talking out his ass and he knows it. No one is truly innocent. But if Kimmy boy fires a nuke at ANYONE, every country on this planet that has nukes (not including the former Soviet Bloc or other communist nations) is gonna fry Kimmy Boy to a crisp with their nukes.

There is a lot of pity for the people as they are held as pawns in a very dangerous game of international chess. And the bad news is Kimmy Boy not only doesn't know how to play it, but he's starting to break the rules.

He's gonna find out that karma can be a real m*f*.
 
Kim has manoeuvred himself in an impossible situation. He has only two choices:
1 - start a war and get defeated.
2 - to lose face.
 
It is pretty obvious North Korea ain't gonna do crap because they kept saying they are.

Did North Korea announce it was gonna attack the first time?
Did the USSR announce it was gonna attack Finland?
Did Germany announce it was gonna invade the USSR?
Did the Japanese announce they were gonna hit Pearl Harbor?
Did al-Qaida announce they were gonna do 9/11?
Did Iraq announce it was gonna invade Iran or Kuwait?

The answer to all these questions is no they didn't. So what makes you think it will be different hear?
 
so we don't need worried about is going to break out a war in korean peninsula.KIM boy just intimidation of USA?

Right! For personally , I oppose the KIM boy imtimidate USA and South korean. But from historical record, the USA imtimidate north korean many times, For example,"5027 battle plan,and send special force sneak in Pyongyang get rid of KIM 2, and list north korean and other six axe-evil countires(China,Iran ,syria.....) as USA can use nukes for first strike."

From historical ,these white guys(USA) like more imtimidate other countries many times( like China,Iraq,Iran ,Vietnam,north korean,syira,libya.....).The people on the planet know that!

Anybody want to deny?

The U.S. Announced we would Invade Iraq.

As the old adage goes, there is a first time for everything...

However on the flip side of the same coin history as you have shown us also runs in circles.

This is usually the life span of generational rulers in the modern world. At this point it's expected to see leadership in totalitarian states either implode or create the ritual of their own self demise in vain attempt to regain control over their neighbors.
 
Poor Japan and South Korea. At any condition they should beg the US to protect them. Couldn't they make nuke for themselves? They can but they are not allowed. Useless technology and advancement at least for National pride.
No doubt this crisis is not any threat for the US. Now Japan and South Korea are the US front-line. At any condition US will be the winner of this conflict.

What can they do against N. Korea nukes without US help? Nothing. And N. Korea doesn't have anything to lose. South Korea army is dependent on the US. They increased one of their missile rang from 400kM to 800kM after US permission.

In the latest propaganda video from North Korea they show how they will send nuclear missiles against U.S. cities. They hit Washington DC, Los Angeles and Honolulu in Hawaii. The North Koreans will also drop a bomb on Colorado Springs, known for its military installations.

There is only one small problem - Colorado Springs are not located where the North Koreans marked the location on the map. It is actually located 912 miles away. The missile will instead hit Shreveport in the state of Louisiana.

Now it´s of course possible that the North Korean generals have access to secret knowledge - perhaps there is a hidden government bunker beneath the city. ;-)



Of course,one has to take the threats from North Korea seriously. But the greatest danger is that the shrill provocations from a little bloated kid can entice others to lose their cool head and give him the well deserved spanking their fingers itch to give him ...

North Korea plays a significant role in the political game of balance of power between the U.S. and China, but China will not be able to live with the fact that North Korea's regime collapses, and the United States stands with combat troops just on the other side of the border. It would be totally unacceptable. They are not interested in escalating the conflict and risking a real war, and therefore they will by all means work to keep the status quo. One can say that China is a guarantee that North Korea will survive - at least for now.

The North Koreans know that they will not be able to win a war because if they are attacked by the technologically far superior forces of South Korea and its ally the United States, and they are hard pressed, they will most likely use nuclear weapons to defend themselves. And they know that the other party will do much to avoid the risk - also because of uncertainty about the Chinese reaction.

The worst about this is that almost no one really knows how to reason with the North Koreans - partly because it is difficult to understand what they think they can get out of their provocations. The priority seems clear: The elite around the young dictator want to maintain their positions of power and privileges and if they can get relief for their hungry population, the risk is well worth taking. But the consideration to the population comes absolutely as the last priority.
