[SOT-Aj KIA 4th July 2010]

What do YOU think is a proportionate response to this? NK has been subverting SK's control of territorial waters for decades with over and underwater vessels breaching international lines as well as smaller submarine operator infils into northern SK. NK spends so much of it's GDP on defense (instead of quality of life services or food) that the international community fears stopping the food aid we send them lest we become the public relations' nightmare of starving the populace. There is nothing to be done, nor will anything come of it besides harsh words and summit meetings. NK has a habit of telling us to F off whenever we try to smack them on the head with a newspaper, and justly so. We can't afford another war, we are spread thin as it is concerning both manpower and funding. So get ready for a lot of news headlines and nothing more. Can't live with'em, can't kill'em.
