NKorea vows to cancel Korean War cease-fire
2013-03-05
From the two-letter news agency so fair-use summary here:
North Korea vowed Tuesday to cancel the 1953 cease-fire that ended the Korean War, citing a U.S.-led push for punishing U.N. sanctions over its recent nuclear test and ongoing U.S.-South Korean joint military drills.
Did the Norks ever think the war was over?
North Korea's Korean People's Army Supreme Command warned of stronger additional countermeasures in a statement that came amid reports that Washington and North Korean ally Beijing have approved a draft of punishing sanctions for a U.N. Security Council resolution responding to North Korea's Feb. 12 nuclear test. The draft is expected to be circulated at the U.N. this week.
The draft might even qualify as 'strongly worded'...
North Korea warned it will cancel the Korean War cease-fire agreement on March 11, citing U.S.-South Korean military drills that began March 1.
We have the drills every year, and every year the Norks vow Dire Revenge™...
North Korea also warned that it will block a communications line between it and the United States at the border village separating the two Koreas.
Good, we can re-use the copper...

#7  "Widin 3 Kevin Spaceys of Pudgy" > LMAO, I gotta remember this one!

D *** NG IT, NORTH KOREA'S STILL AFTER THE USS GEORGE WASHINGTON'S CHERRY/APPLE TREE!

Technically speaking, the Armistice could've been considered "cancelled" already after all those Norkie-led mil incidents agz SOKOR since the Cold War, all the way to the Chonan, etc.

#6  why shouldn't there be a Israeli-SKor-Tokyo axis too?

Because Ogabe's welfare state would collapse without easy money borrowed from China?

#5  The ROKs ain't gonna listen to US if this is any kind of serious. They can handle this without much problem, excepting always a nuke. If they nuke, the ROKS will go batshit and kill everyone within 3 Kevin Spaceys of Pudgy.

#4  We should be facilitating just such an axis.

We should also be in the business of recreating Executive Outcomes to deal with a lot of the smaller nonsense we don't want to get into.

#3  So this means all those nuke and launch sites are subject to immediate cremation?

You know that if there's Iran-Pak-Nork nuke axis, why shouldn't there be a Israeli-SKor-Tokyo one too?

#2  Darth, he does have the best military in the world, for now.

He seems to be doing his damnedest to undo that situation however. He is more concerned about getting MRAPS for his brown-shirt DHS then getting ships to project power.

#1  Listen pudgy, our president has the backbone of a chocolate eclair, but do you really want to push his fragile ego into a corner like this? He does have the best military in the world and the ROKs are not a push over either.

Just sayin'.
