Coffey Posted March 21, 2013 #8 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Not being funny, but if you dangle your tackle (think about it, I don't mean fishing tackle) in the amazon river..... Don't complain when a Piranha bites.... The US government is obviously trying to intimidate them which is an absolutely stupid idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By having an annual military exercise? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffey Posted March 21, 2013 #13 Share Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) Intimidate them? How? By having an annual military exercise? Right next to them... YES. lol How can you not see that? lol If you lived in Texas and took your gun to New York and waved it around in front of people.... What do you think would happen? Its North korea not USA that is doing it From the article itself it states that NK is threatening in response to US air force presence. That is not NK starting it at all. If you know someone is volatile and dangerous you don't start showing them your armory. Edited March 21, 2013 by Coffey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Commander Travis Posted March 21, 2013 #14 Share Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) i do agree with coffey, actually, I think, the trouble is that the U.S. and S. korea [the people who gave us Gangnam Style, don't forget, so they can hardly act all innocent and being unjustly bullied, can they] can only think in the same way as whichever Kim it is currently in charge; they can only think in terms of militaristic blustering and sabre rattling too.

The idea is to keep NK quiet, Nk would still threaten anyone even if a fishing boat was around. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffey Posted March 21, 2013 #16 Share Posted March 21, 2013 The idea is to keep NK quiet, Nk would still threaten anyone even if a fishing boat was around. So the idea is to keep them quiet by flying bombers around them? And that is exactly my point. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Commander Travis Posted March 21, 2013 #17 Share Posted March 21, 2013 And, if the S. Korean navy runs one of its ships onto the rocks, as happened a couple of years ago, claiming that it was actually torpedoed by NK (and showing the actual torpedo that sank it, complete with N. Korean markings) doesn't really do much for their credibility, or help to defuse tensions very muich, does it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellar Posted March 21, 2013 #20 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Right next to them... YES. lol How can you not see that? lol They do it annually. They are not trying to "intimidate" them any more than any other year in that sense. And do you know why its held in SK? 2 reasons: 1. Its a joint US/SK exercise. 2. Training is better when its done on a terrain similar to what you'd be operating on. I see nothing wrong with the US's nor SKs actions regarding the exercises, just as I see nothing wrong with NK conducting their own exercises. Militaries practice. Theres nothing surprising about that. From the article itself it states that NK is threatening in response to US air force presence. That is not NK starting it at all. If you know someone is volatile and dangerous you don't start showing them your armory. The NK threats started much earlier than this. If you know someone is volatile and dangerous and is making demands, you don't just cede to whatever demands they make. Regardless... even if this was a show of US/SK military power, I do not see fault with them. NK threatened to nuke the US. The US showing NK that they are within the USs sphere of military influence is not "wrong" simply because you, Coffey, say it is. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellar Posted March 21, 2013 #21 Share Posted March 21, 2013 So the idea is to keep them quiet by flying bombers around them? And that is exactly my point. How about NK conducting an artillery strike on an island killing 16 SK soldiers? SK and the US have shown great restraint when dealing with NK, despite their belligerence, threats and actions. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend of mine who knows a thing or two about Naval weapons and there effects on ships recognized the damage as the result of a torpedo. ~Thanato 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Korea managing to find & retrieve the actual Torpedo, and put it on display so that everyone could see the N. Korean markings on it. That doesn't look at all fishy? It might have been the result of an explosion underneath the keel, yes; but that might quite possibly be the result of a Mine, might it not? Of which there are plenty in those waters, NK and SK, and might even have been left over from the Korean War. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can assume that they would be able to find the torpedo fragments, knowing the location of the attack all they had to do was search the area. ~Thanato 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because someone else does something stupid and wrong, it doesn't mean you should shove your military in their faces. That will jsut cause more trouble... Which it did.
