2 Koreas exchange gunfire on border

How much more of an embarrassment can DPRK be to China than it already is?

* This a day* after Seoul encouraged the North to open and embrace free-market reforms.

SKorea to be blamed...they powered NK by supplying tons to rice just few days ago...! fake story to draw attention to G20 crowd next month, my guess.

More senseless stupidity from the DPRK... getting old.

"security problems faced by Seoul"

Even after South Korea absorbs North Korea, which it will do eventually, they'll still have security problems because they'll have a border with communist China, LOL...

"North Korea fired two rounds "

pew pew

Why does NK do these antics? They seem so stupid and ineffective, but it must make sense to them somehow. If we could figure out why they think this way, it might make them easier to manipulate or just play around with.

What has worked for NK in the past? Apparently it is not working for them now because they seem to be trying anything to get some attention. What are they likely to try next?

Maybe the west should try to string them along. Rather than say we will never give them aid, we should say we are going to and then just kind of "forget" or put it off for next year over and over. Have some committees debate it. How could NK react to that? The west has tried passive, and aggressive, but why not passive/aggressive?

Would they ever get the hint? I doubt it.

Let's face it, we don't really want to negotiate with them anyway, so why bother?

North Korea is just a slave dog for China, China now sees that it is digging it's own hole, call the DPRK to shoot at South Korea, and let CNN, etc...do the rest, right? Just a diversion method by big brother Beijing, where Pyongyang's real power is.

Two rounds? Stray rounds from shooting bear?
