Re: South Korean Navy Ship Sinking
Both sides will probably deny anything happened.
Either that or global nuclear holocaust.

To the tune of at least 30,000 pairs of boots on the ground, plus a lot of very expensive hardware. Kim is a complete nut job - the American presence in the South is the only thing keeping that country from invasion.

As far as I'm aware, the North Koreans don't have the ballistic missile capability to hit the continental US. On the other hand, the US do have a number of bases on Japan that could be considered under threat....
As much as the North Korean leadership are mad as a bottle of chips. I doubt they would want to face extinction, by nuking their neighbours. They simply don't have the size of nuclear arsenal that the Russians had during the cold war. The fact they have nukes gives the crazy barstewards a bargaining chip to use against their neighbours and the US. On the other hand, using said weapons would likely invite a rather disproportionate response.... Personally if I was the president of the US, and had just seen thousands of my troops incinerated by North Korean nukes. I'd happily turn large swaths of North Korea into radioactive glass....

Re: South Korean Navy Ship Sinking
Of course it's possible that there could have been an accident with the ship's own munitions, however:
In other significant news today:
US and Russia announce deal to cut nuclear weapons
given those nutjobs' track record in attention seeking it wouldn't surprise me if this is a rather extreme attention seeking tactic.
