Just in North shelling the south................

North Korea and South Korea have reportedly traded artillery fire Nov. 23 across the disputed Northern Limit Line (NLL) in the Yellow Sea to the west of the peninsula. Though details are still sketchy, South Korean news reports indicate that around 2:30 p.m. local time, North Korean artillery shells began landing in the waters around Yeonpyeongdo, one of the South Korean-controlled islands just south of the NLL. North Korea has reportedly fired as many as 200 rounds, some of which struck the island, injuring at least 10 South Korean soldiers, damaging buildings and setting fire to a mountainside. South Korea responded by firing some 80 shells of its own toward North Korea, dispatching F-16 fighter jets to the area and raising the military alert to its highest level.

"...'single minded unity' means a unity around one centre and based on one ideologe. The centre of single minded unity is The Leader..." ROTFLMAO

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unity

From a Anglo-French unite (c.1200), from Latin unitatem (nom. unitas) "oneness, sameness, agreement," from unus "one". Unity is defined as the state of being undivided or unbroken completeness or totality with nothing wanting. It is the smallest whole numeral representation. It has the quality of being united into one. Unity can denote a combining of all the parts, elements and individuals into an effective whole. It is applicable to people and objects forming whole notions of any concept. It implies oneness when there is a certain usual division.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juche

The first known reference to Juche was a speech given by Kim Il-sung on December 28, 1955, titled "On Eliminating Dogmatism and Formalism and Establishing Juche in Ideological Work" in rejection of the policy of de-Stalinization (bureaucratic self-reform) in the Soviet Union. In this speech, Kim said that "Juche means Chosun's revolution" (Chosun being the traditional name for Korea). Hwang Jang-yeop, Kim's top adviser on ideology, discovered this speech later in the 1950s when Kim sought to develop his own version of Marxism–Leninism and began to craft the idea birthing it into the society defining credo it became from then on.[1]

The Juche Idea itself gradually emerged as a systematic ideological doctrine under the political pressures of the Sino-Soviet split in the 1960s. The word "Juche" also began to appear in untranslated form in English-language North Korean works from around 1965. Kim Il-sung outlined the three fundamental principles of Juche in his April 14, 1965, speech “On Socialist Construction and the South Korean Revolution in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea”:

1. "independence in politics" (chaju)
2. "self-sustenance in the economy" (charip)
3. "self-defense in national defense" (chawi).

Current North Korean leader Kim Jong-il officially authored the definitive statement on Juche in a 1982 document titled On the Juche Idea. He has final authority over the interpretation of the state ideology and incorporated the Songun (army-first) policy into it in 1996.

Why doesn't this DICTATOR care if his own people are not able to eat a good meal three times a day?

It shouldn't need a rocket scientist to figure out the answer to the question above!
 
What with the sinking of the south Korean boat only a few months ago, someone's itching for a good ole showdown.

This nutter is really testing China's allegiance now.

Maybe he'll push his luck too far and get China offside once and for all.

No Chinese patronage = no North Korea "il" regime.
 
Non event, apart from giving the markets a fright.
 
Yes a beginning of WW3, but so far it is more of a distraction.

The USD is going to collapse and will have an impact as the Oil price rises
 
want to see global warmming just wait untill N/korea let go with a few atomic one,s .....

I think if hostilites esculate and it becomes a conflict could have an impact to Australia as i believe that shipping to China would be suspended ....will be interesting to see how it plays out
 

If North Korea annoy China, they will be even more isolated.
Unfortunately they have the bomb and even if China goes in to change leadership of the country they may set it off. What a mad almost feudal society.

Maybe Kim Al Sun wants to go out with a bang. It is known he is close to death.
 

i think the south have just about had enough of the provication from the north over the years and the south is about to embark on one of the largest building of a city in an attempt to make it the financial and shipping /transport hub of asia.......if your trying to do this plus get investment the games the north are playing doesn't make for a good look:twak:
 
Why does the US have to stick its nose in Korea’s business, they did that before decades ago and it was a disaster. North Korea has an unstable leader and appears to have China’s support. What good is it to conduct war games to yet again antagonise this nut case. How would the US feel if the chinese decided to pull up just off Cuba for a little antagonistic shooting exercise.

However, with the sinking of the ship and the bombing I wonder if N.K. has been trying to bring it on so China and the States will get involved and be at war. Would that be in China’s interest with so much american debt?

Inscrutable gentlemen?
 

Its all a planed game, that's why. Nothing happens buy chance and you have woken up to that fact.

So I confirm to you that it is all planed to be that way.

To divert attention away from themselves as usual. For the same reason their ratings agencies identified the PIGGS et al., keep everyone diverted from the massive financial problems in the US.

The exercises with South Korea I have no doubt is to stir the pot with not only the north but China too. They are not winning at the financial summits anymore so guns need to be deployed.

Impressed at least that the apostrophe in "that's" is present and in the right spot. </whatthefukhashappenedtospellingandgrammar?>
 
I don't think all this matters too much at all. The only way China can show itself against America these days is through North Korea. If it wasn't for China North Korea would be part of one larger country 'Korea'; not much of a buffer zone between China and the West.
China wants this silly but dangerous dictatorship to continue and it is this cliff edge scenario that allows them to wander on controlling their currency and trading the way they do.
China shouts, "Carry on North Korea", and the West continues on worried and frustrated.
 
Not sure who has the most to gain and lose out of this.

If US unemployment was a little higher I'd be more concerned.

There's no doubt we'd have to follow the US into this one as well.
