You have to hand it to the North Korean leadership, they sure know how to handle guilt.
After being suspected of sinking a South Korean Navy vessel, the totalitarian regime of North Korea now threatens to use it nuclear weapons to counter what they call "unpardonable military provocation." by the U.S. & South Korea as both allies stage a large-scale naval exercise to send a message to Kim Il Jong that they haven't gone soft.
I'm not a geopolitics expert but when a hostile country sinks one of your vessels, murders dozens of your naval servicemen & threatens invasion every time they need cash to siphon off (instead of feeding its hungry people), you are not supposed to just sit there and send letter of protest. I'm no war freak but history has shown that you are inviting more trouble when you appease tyrants such as the North Korean Communist Party leadership.
Appeasement never works. It never stopped World War 2 when PM Chamberlain of Britain & the French agreed to hand over parts of Czechoslovakia to Hitler in Munich, 1938 (as if it was theirs to give in the first place) and it will never stop North Korea from committing acts of aggression
It's a good thing the US has sent one of its largest and most modern aircraft carriers, the USS George Washington & the new F-22 Raptor stealth fighter/bomber to participate in the naval exercises. North Korea can sabre rattle and even threaten to launch nukes all day but it's all just empty bluster. Even big brother China is getting pissed with his younger stooge & just in case hostilities break out, I doubt it will send troops and arms like they did in the 1950s.
So what's next? Well, in case North Korean tries something hostile and lethal, I just hope President Obama just signs an order to send a couple of Raptors in that country and smoke the entire NK leadership's ass. After all, the North Korean leadership, not its people, calls the shots over there.
