North, South Korea naval patrol boats exchange fire

Where is the love from the women's soccer match the other day?

The world is gently going to hell in a handbasket - incident by incident - and we get so used to this stuff we just don't take it seriously anymore.

"The South’s patrol boat fired “around 90” rounds in total." 90 rounds and no hits? looks like gunnery practice is in order.

Kapuna read the entire article. It clearly says that the Northern boat wasn't directly targeted. If it were, it would be lying on the bottom now.

This is a common negotiating ployby the North. Prior to beginning talks, they ramp up tensions so that they can negotiate Southern concessions in exchange for calm instead of for any real concessions on their own part.

Yes it says 'briefly exchanged warning fire'. So they were aiming to miss.

Rumor has it that the "Boy General" has been disposed by Hwang Pyong So, director of the Korean People's Army. He hasn't been seen for a month. His attendance or absence at the National Day celebrations this Friday should be a good indicator whether something serious is actually up.

The armistice agreement never specifically addressed the contiguous waters between North and South Korea. At the time, it was assumed that the boundary established at the cessation of hostilities (the 38th Parallel) would extend outward into the sea off both coasts. Although this is true for the East Coast, it is not the case nor feasible off the West Coast because of the meandering coastline and countless islands in the region.

Laguna,

Has he been deposed or disposed (of)? Maybe decomposed or even composted?

Hey looky! Someone who thinks real-life gunfire exchange should work just like cop shows on TV, LOL

News reports say that "Little Man" is not in North Korea. Talk is he is hiding out in China after sending a cryptic letter to the Chinese government two weeks ago!

"Hey, why aren't you paying attention to us? We're important! Never mind terrorism, ebola, or the economy. Look at us, look at us ."
