N. Korea threatens 'real war' as tension heightens at sea
By Sam Kim
SEOUL, Aug. 10 (Yonhap) -- Just a day after North Korea fired artillery shells into its waters near the border with South Korea, the communist state threatened Tuesday to use its nuclear deterrent to show "what a real war is like" if such action is necessary.
The Rodong Sinmun, the newspaper of the North's ruling Workers' Party, however, stressed in an editorial that the only way to defuse military tensions between Pyongyang and Seoul is to "create a peaceful atmosphere."

P!
applying Sun Tzu’s maxims to this rhetoric, the Norks are very, very weak right now.
I recall that they didn;t pull this crap when we had a real President.
At some point we’re going to have to let the south off the leash to deal with the north. The real problem is how will China react.
By the same token, Chinese military is not as strong as it led us to believe.

Looks like the Norks have racheted down their rhetoric. They used to call for turning Seoul into a ‘sea of fire’.
Now they just call for a ‘real war’.
Zzzzzzzzzz
And this time we really, really, REALLY mean it.
Thank you for the pings.
