North Korea Launches Attack on South Korean Island, 2 Dead

[Ride Da Fire]

Killed at least two Marines and injured 16 others? U.S. Marines?I'd say we need an appropriate response instead of the same old wind...

NK azzes will be kicked by USMC by now if one of our USMC guy got hurt... Kim is a weird dude for sure.

I believe that in our lifetime (well, maybe not me and Old Fart's lifetime, but most here) there will be a nuke incident somewhere in the world. I believe it's inevitable. I'm not saying there will be a nuclear war, but I definitely believe a nuke will be used on a civilian population somewhere by someone. There are just too many out there and too many ways to use them and too many people willing to do it.

The U.S. Dropped 2 Nukes on Japan in August of 1945. Between the 2 it killed around 250,000 people, mostly were civilians.

Now that this has happened its only a matter of time before we get into this. Whats sad is that its been allowed to get to this point over the years due to political tiptoeing. Someone should have already gave a green light on him & any other potiential targets that would carry out his ideals if he was lost.

But at the same time I also ask myself, how long should a entire population living in poverty put up with crazy ass leaders before they themselves overthrow their government thats keeping them in poverty & work towards reaping the benefits the South has for years now....

Apparently, the South has also pledged missile attacks should something else happen. They also scrambled fighters on the peninsula when this happened. Hoping this whole thing fizzles out, but the fighters and planned missile strikes are not something I recall happening before.

I believe he said in our lifetime. Personally, I wasn't alive when we dropped Fat Man and Little Boy.

Well he is talking as if he and Old Fart are really old, the bombs were dropped only 65 years ago.

North Korea is a problem that won't go away soon.

And China is a big player in the game.

I believe China is the antagonist behind all this. They've already disagreed with the U.S. where North Korea is concerned. What does that tell you? It tells me that China doesn't give a sh*t what North Korea does.
