Trolling? Jesus Christ talk about jump the gun!
I never saw such action from any of the mods except Targan when Olefin was "trolling". Why the hate now?
Or is it just that some of you hate Legbreaker?
Yeah he's assertive to the point of being aggressive and people might have been offended by the way he presents his point of view and sometimes he should pull his head in but this smacks of nothing more than double standards.

Legbreaker isn't the one who'll force me away from this forum, it's the bullshit attitude of some of the mods that'll do that.

The Five Power Defence Arrangement was formed in 1971 and still exists, but South Korea is outside its area. It's a series of treaties between the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, and Malaysia and is meant to protect Malaysia and Singapore from foreign aggression.

As best as I can tell, there is absolutely no way an attack on South Korea would even come close to pulling in any of the Five Powers members unless they wanted to get involved, but it might be an option if some nations chose to deploy forces to Korea outwith the UN - gesture of regional solidarity, that sort of thing. Heck, maybe when its invaded South Korea gets offered membership of the Five Powers in the same way that Yugoslavia and Romania are admitted to NATO.
