Anyone Else Alarmed By What’s Going on in Korea?

While you were sleeping, North Korea launched more than 200 artillery shells at South Korea. Each side has claimed that the other shot first (What is this? Han and Greedo?). Here’s more on the situation from MSNBC.

Anyone else really scared about this brewing situation? Despite its claims of being able to refine uranium for nuclear weapons, North Korea is mostly harmless to Americans…but when you bring China and Iran into the mix then a new “Axis of Evil” seems ready to…do whatever evil things evil axis do.

Obviously I’m concerned because I have family and friends in various part of Asia, but North Korea can wreak havoc in the region and reshape the world — physically, politically, and economically. All it takes is one crazy man (or his son) pushing a button and the world will be changed forever.

      1. Yeah, now we can campaign talk them :)

        Seriously, it is a bad situation anyway you look at it.

  2. being stationed in Korea, I not only feel bad for the South Koreans but also for our soldiers stationed there when protests are always held in Seoul against the US Army. I thought Korea was a beautiful country to be at but because of this I couldn't travel/sightsee as much as i wanted in case we were in a non friendly area.

    @rpad

    do you really think Kim Jong Un is just as evil as his dad? I think what's KJI is gone, NK will be more welcoming to a true peace and hopefully a reconciliation of the Koreas.

    2. Supposedly the kid is more batshit crazy than his dad.

      Odd you think he'd off his dad. Then again isn't KJI being alive not a certainty?

      1. i forget Un is the one that's like his dad. Nam was the one i was thinking of. It's true some of them have theorized he died back in 2003 or 2004 and NK has been using body doubles this whole time waiting for a successor to be found.

  3. It's a situation that is definitely scary to think about, but I don't think that it seems as scary to some people because we have been taught to not think of them as much of a threat. At least I would say that about plenty of people that I know of. Korea is thought of as a very small threat to tons of people, I think; the problem is that is simply not the case especially considering the far reaching implications that Ray mentioned if something did happen.

    Not a good situation at all, @Ray Hope your friends and family are/stay safe.

  4. I find it disturbing that Natalee Holloway is a higher lead on CNN.com than a potential war in Korea that we will almost certainly get sucked into. But hey, the reporters get to keep going to Aruba….

  6. Fact of the matter is, the Korean War never ended. That’s WHY we have so many troops stationed there (because apparently unlike most of our allies who all left, we keep our treaties). If the armistice breaks over there, we’ll be actively involved in 3 wars in Asia at the same time. And if we learned anything from the Princess Bride, it’s that you never get involved in a land war in Asia, or go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line…….

    1. @nightshade
      i know why they are stationed there. I just don’t see why the US should remain there when the South Koreans don’t want the US there anymore.

      1. In most cases I’d be of the opinion that “if the want us out, let’s go already.” But I’m not so certain I like the idea of us leaving just to have to go back and retake the bottom half of the peninsula after N. Korea attacks it…..because whether we like it or not, if N. Korea attacks, no matter who our president is, we will end up getting involved. Better to be the deterrent than to have to redeploy.

      2. Oh i agree. i'd hate to see the US leave because as much as NK speaks about peace and if the US leaves it will know SK is serious about peace and blah blah blah. It's a trick! NK will run over SK. The thing i hated about being stationed in Korea is that you never knew when the cease fire would fall apart and when you hear those sirens, you never know if it's THE ONE, it's scary as sound to hear at 3am after a night out drinking.
