The Peninsula Gets A Lot Hotter

Breaking News………….

About 60 years ago the world came together and fought side by side against a Communist invasion of South Korea by the bad guys to the North….lots of fight, blood and death….but eventually calmer heads did prevail and a truce was signed and all went back to being normal on the peninsula….whatever normal is for that area…..

Recently North Korea has started up a nuke program and even detonated a small device….the world is not happy….they move this way and that trying to find a solution for the NK problem……just when things were going badly…NK has been accused of sinking a SK ship off the Coast and in SK waters…..and the world was not happy…again……

And now they, the rest of the world, truly have something to be anger about…….from the Newser website…..

South Korea has returned fire after North Korea blasted scores of artillery rounds at a South Korean island, setting houses on fire and forcing evacuations, according to South Korean officials. Some 70 houses were ablaze on the island of Yeonpyeong, close to the two nations’ disputed maritime border, witnesses told a local TV station, the Wall Street Journal reports. One marine was killed and 3 have been seriously wounded, reports Reuters. It was the biggest outbreak of violence in several years. South Korean officials are holding emergency talks in an underground bunker. “Houses and mountains are on fire and people are evacuating.

The US war hawks ought to be jerking off in the corner…after all the lip service that has been given to the conflict on the Peninsula…..we can now eye another war to fund…..happy now?

Is Korean Story A Blowjob?

We have all heard the horrible story of the dastardly N. Koreans that torpedoed a S. Korean ship…the world exploded in a wealth of condemnation and pure pissed off-ness.  My loyal reader and friend over at Quintessential Havoc (blogroll will get you to an excellent and insightful site) have had a few exchanges on the situation….we have agreed that if true N. Korea should be made to pay for this break in international protocol.

But since our original exchange took place not all the info had been made public and I would like to pass unto everyone interested in the unfolding of this story…..this from New America Media (I am NOT claiming this is what happened only that there is a bunch of questions)….

There’s yet another possibility, that a U.S. rising mine sank the Cheonan in a friendly-fire accident.

The first telltale sign of an official smokescreen involves the location of the Choenan sinking – Byeongnyeong Island (pronounced Pyongnang) in the Yellow Sea. On the westernmost fringe of South Korean territory, the island is dominated by a joint U.S.-Korean base for anti-submarine warfare (ASW) operations. The sea channel between Byeongnyeong and the North Korean coast is narrow enough for both sides to be in artillery range of each other.

Anti-sub warfare is based on sonar and acoustic detection of underwater craft. Since civilian traffic is not routed through the channel, the noiseless conditions are near-perfect for picking up the slightest agitation, for example from a torpedo and any submarine that might fire it.

North Korea admits it does not possess an underwater craft stealthy enough to slip past the advanced sonar and audio arrays around Byeongnyeong Island, explained North Korean intelligence analyst Kim Myong Chol in a news release. “The sinking took place not in North Korean waters but well inside tightly guarded South Korean waters, where a slow-moving North Korean submarine would have great difficulty operating covertly and safely, unless it was equipped with AIP (air-independent propulsion) technology.”

Once again….I am NOT claiming to have all the answers just that there are a few things that are not being said in the media or by the admin…
