North Korea said it was ready for war with the South, just hours before US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is set to arrive in Seoul for talks on defusing the North's military threat.

More sabre rattling?
Or a prelude to something more serious? Is North Korea positioning itself to gain more concessions for a later date? Or is this just more posturing from a shunned state before the S of S Hillary Clinton,touches down in Seoul?

North Korea is batshiat crazy. The problem is that only China can take care of them.

South Korea can't or Seoul will be reduced to ashes with millions dead. NATO can't or Seoul will be wiped out.

NATO needs to come forward with South Korea and ask China to solve this problem once and for all.

North and South unified. NATO and China can't go in, Korea would have limits to weapons they can have, like Japan.

Unified Korea and peace achieved.

What a horrible regime to threaten the people of another country in that way. Sounds like the boy who cried wolf if you know what I mean. I bet they are ready for another free supply ship to make them quiet down again. Yes, their language does sound familiar.

I really think if they were serious they wouldn't be threatening. Why would anyone want to give his enemy a chance to be prepared for any attack?

Just ask them what they want this time so we can put this one behind us.

Hey looks like We will be having a draft sometime in the future... Thats right there is change You can believe in ....

The reason why i posted this,is that the Korean peninsula has been in an unresolved state for over half a century.

What can be done to resolve this in an adult manner?Should this be resolved by the international community? Or should it be left to the Koreans themselves to sort out?

I smell more fear mongering then anything.
N Korea is all talk as for now.......they have been told to cease their Nuclear Arms programs..and it looks like they are.

US withdraws all its troops, signs peace treaty with North Korea, accepts it as a communist state and let the North and South work out their own problems. Once US backs out, China will back out and N Korea won't have much choice but to get along with its neighbors.

The jam321 peace plan has been proposed.

I think you might be right about that and I wouldn't be suprised to see that come to pass. Does any country REALLY want to go into more debt fighting over this super power proxy war anymore? We are friends, more or less, with Russia and China these days.

My Korean war history is a bit rusty,but wouldn't all parties that partook of the war on the peninsula have to sign an armistice?

(cant remember if there was a formal declaration at the cessation of hostilities)

Wrong. Once US backs out China will go in. Why would they back out as well? Wouldnt happen i promise you.

If China wanted that land they would have taken over a long time ago. They only butt in cause the US is there. Korea is more about the US China than the North and South. China doesn't want the US in its back yard just like we wouldn't want China in ours.

No
The war technically hasn't ended. All combatants must agree then the withdrawal can begin in earnest.

I don't see this happening besides Little Kimmy just needs some attention is all.
Somebody throw him a rattle.

you know, south korea isn't the little runt anymore. they have a bit of clout these days.
not that there's ever a winner in a nuke toss, but south korea isn't the little farm hen anymore.

and yes, north korea (the main figure head) is a walking doorknob. he should be punished for crimes against humanity.

It wouldnt surprise me if they are attempting to put a nuclear payload within the Taepong II, er whatever they have been activley working on last 3 weeks.

I always thought they were the biggest threat to upset peace with MASSIVE causalities, because they have never stopped being at war with the south or u.s.. nothing was ever written up. Also, King Jong Il is dead, or dying, and just wants to do what his predecessors never done.

He wants to go down in History.
