SK-US exercise was conducted near Taean, more than 150 miles to the south of the site of sinking. Live fire training was over by Mar. 24 before the incident occurred(Mar. 26.)

The sinking occurred right at the location where there were previous firefights between SK and NK navies. You don't do live-fire exercises there, unless you are N. Koreans.

I HEARD THAT THE SK SHIP WAS SMUGGLING JARS OF KIMCHI, AND SOMETHING WENT HORRIBLY WONG!

Yes, or the Saracens...there was a stealth flying carpet alert shortly before the explosion.

I hope I wasn't out of line with that crack about "stupid and irrational."

I ran across this in an international cruising forum.
I had to take a break and read it in a couple of pieces because it was overwhelming!

especially if the twerps might just have a nuke.

If they do it is probably an enriched uranium, gun type design weighing in around 10,000 pounds and over eight feet long. The delivery vehicle would of necessity be a 6x6 truck, the only vehicle in their position capable of carrying a pre-production lab-toy nuke.

While the world sits on its as@ there is no doubt that North Korea must be destroyed. King Obama is a fool not to announce full support to South Korea and those responsible will be punished.

He won't do squat, and the next ship, or the one after that will be flying the stars and stripes.

Obummer will apologize for hitting their torpedo with our ship.

Or one of those subs, a tramp freighter (with false colors?) or any number of other methods. However since they've probably had Pak help with the design, it might be a tad smaller than that.
