    From this mornings Times:
    North Korea today threatened the United States and South Korea with a nuclear ‘sacred war’ if the two countries go ahead with plans to carry out large scale naval exercises this weekend.

    On the last day of an ASEAN summit in Hanoi held in an atmosphere of increasing tension, Pyongyang accused the US of attempting to provoke North Korea and said it would use its nuclear deterrent in retaliation for the exercises.

    Nutty North Korea rattling the sabres again in another game of "chicken".
    Sooner of later one of the wacko's across the border will finally just go too far - and then heaven help the world!

    The Americans need to be careful here. They're already fighting on two fronts, and fighting on more than one front is a bad idea.

    There must be some religion involved if it's called a "Sacred War", but until they own up to what religion it is, I think we can safely describe them as cnuts.

    Only a cnut would disagree with this.

    I hope that this is one of those knee jerk reactions that people get when the US is mentioned. Because no-one could be as much of a f*cktard to think that North Korea will ever be the "good guys" or that NK having nuclear weapons is a good thing.

    No but what they do have is a LOT of rare minerals that the world is starved for - especially the kind used in the electronics business I'm told.

    This will all kick off soon enough. The great leader is on his way out and he is crazy enough to go to war. Does'nt North Korea have something like 4 million soldiers?

    Wiki says 1.2 million armed soldiers. And it doesn't seem to matter if he dies or not as they still celebrate the birthday of kim jong ills (spelling) father as if he were alive. Also his son seems to be just as much of a fruitcake as he is.

    That's strange. I read the article as North Korea threatens war. Just like they did two and a half months ago. And a few months before that. And a little while before that too.

    Joke of a country.

    It appears to be based on the teachings of Kim Jong-il.

    Basically a way of living which has been turned into something of a religion by the dude who will always be pictured as a puppet on strings in my head.

    Not neccessarily.
    North Korea's nuclear tests have weakened relations with China.
    Then there was the incident where they fired rome rockets towards China, and then detonated them just before they reached the border.

    I'd threaten war too if Russia was doing military exercises 20 miles from Miami.Open your eyes man.

    Joke of a leadership to be more accurate but then who are we to cast the first stone ...or the States or a lot of countries to be honest.

    End of the day, there is no good guys here - just a lot of nutters wanting to play "I'm the big boy on the block"
    The worst thing is that these two sides have some terrible weapons that will effect us all not just themselves.

    Frankly, if these were just two street local bullies, I'd be very tempted to slap both around their ears repeatedly till they saw sense and make to kop on.
    Sadly, we, the rest of the world don't have the better hands (or arms!) to do it.
    So brinkmanship rears its stupid head again... Sooner or later one side will just go that bit too far...

    I hope their nuclear warhead aim isn't comparable to that of their footballers.

    This changes my mind on the troubled relations with China.
    They'd love to get their hands on that.

    North Korea sank a South Korean warship... hello??

    Who gives a toss what's been found in Afghanistan. South Korea needs allies here and I'm glad the Americans are stepping up.

    I hope they send that bitch Kay Burley there on a fact-finding mission, preferably with a target painted on her head.

    I'd watch the channel if that happened.

    isn't it hilarious that nobody ever comes out to defend north korea? i can't help but correlate this with the fact that there's no mention of a holy book when you read more about the country.
