    All I know is NoKo has been pretty loud ever since "Hug & Change" took over the White House.

    If that's all you know then maybe you should read up a little more instead of hijacking this thread to have a pop at Obama.

    "Hug and change". Oh dear. Do some research my friend.

    This kinda stuff always worries me.

    Imagine just for a second he sees an American fleet in hiS waters and fires on them, because clearly he's a loose cannon. Ahem that is very very bad.

    Boggles my mind the amount of american ships in international waters within strike range of a lot of countries ie off the coast of Japan for eg.

    To be fair can the Americans and even ourselfs who will probably back them up afford another war? the state of the economy we cant afford to spend billions on a endless battle.

    Asia markets wrap: stocks, S Korean won tumble after N Korean attack

    [​IMG] Asian stocks recorded their biggest fall in three months on Tuesday, after North Korea launched an artillery attack on a South Korean island. Indices in China, Hong Kong and Indonesia fell between 1.5 and 3 per cent. South Korea’s stock market had already closed, but the Korean won fell over 3 per cent against the dollar.
    “Security concerns in the Korean peninsula are scaring investors,” said Kevin Grice, emerging markets economist at Capital Economics. “With no end in sight, they are likely to weigh on the markets for some time. The threat of further anti-inflation measures in China is only making the situation worse.”
    In China, the Shanghai Composite fell 1.9 per cent to 2828.28. Jiangxi Copper, China’s biggest copper producerl, plummeted 5.3 per cent. PetroChina, the country’s biggest oil producer, fell 2.9 per cent.

    Stupid American's?

    Seriously? Whether they are voicing an opinion or not it's an American problem if it escalates and i'm happy for them to be the world police so to speak.

    You're being nieve, maybe come back with some research and substance and then we can talk politics.
