OT - North and South Korea at War again?

[Cdnwolf]

Anyone else miss this story? Wonder if can work it into a campaign.

North Korea threatened to attack South Korea one day after Seoul announced that it would join a U.S.-led naval exercise, aimed at intercepting any shipments suspected of carrying materials used in the making of weapons of mass destruction.

What's behind the communist nation's nuclear tests?North Korean media reported that Pyongyang is feeling "compelled to take a decisive measure" and will mete out "unimaginable and merciless punishment" to any country that will blockade its ships. It warned the international community that it would not hesitate to use its "tremendous military muscle" against any threats.

The government also proclaimed that the North would no longer honor the North-South armistice signed at the end of the Korean War.

Also today, South Korean media reported that Pyongyang has restarted a plant that makes plutonium, a material which can be used in the making of nuclear bombs. That report has not been confirmed.

The South Korean decision to join the patrols marked the end of a long debate in Seoul. North Korea has said in the past that such a decision would amount to a "declaration of war."

Without going into too much detail -- that happens all the time along the Z, and whenever we have an exercise over there. Nothing to see here.

Technically the Korean War never ended.

At war again? Nope...they never stopped, they only stopped fighting in ernest.

At least the media would have a field day. For a change, CNN and Fox might be on more-or-less the same side.
