Comedy comes in many ways.

Looks Like little fat boy might have to buy Japanese built Subs I wonder where the North Koreans Rocket and atomic weaponry came from /spying perhaps or some country making big bucks I feel for the submariners and their families when these things happen.

North Korea's submarines are so primitive, they may as well feature rectangular screen windows. If they don't have Akula subs, this should not be big news.

Sorry for Sub crew members and it's worst nightmare for those crew. N. Korea don't have technology to save from sank problem old Sub. They have to die slowly in dark, cold and starve. Someone needs to kill the fat arrogant boy before he went crazy and attack its neighbor with Nuclear Weapons.

pre-emptive retaliatory strike

I love this term. In their case it means they know they have no chance to retaliate so they will have to try a sucker punch.

" ... watching as the North Korean navy searched for the missing sub... "

As Farmboy notes, the US/South Korea don't know where the sub is = 'missing' from their point of view. As stated, 50 of North Korea's 70 subs 'disappeared' from South Korean radar last August.

Or, the US are, in fact, observing an actual North Korean search for one of their 'rusting diesel submarines'. If this the case, it's a sad state of affairs that those on board may not have the assistance of the international community for rescue.

One can only hope that the fat little leader was on board.

Finding submarines is a specialty of the Maritime Self Defense Force. If it enters Japanese waters it will be dealt with in proper fashion.

“The North Koreans have not made an attempt to indicate there is something wrong or that they require help or some type of assistance.”

.....The official KCNA news agency, citing a statement from military chiefs, warned of a “pre-emptive retaliatory strike at the enemy groups” involved in the joint U.S.-South Korean drill.

It seems that the North Koreans have not asked for help finding their lost sub.

I'm having trouble trying to figure out what a "pre-emptive" "retaliatory" strike is? Is N. Korea going to strike first in response to the expected defensive strike issued by their intended victim(s)?
