North Vs. South

North Vs. South

By HeadBerry

As many Americans got ready for work North Korea bombed South Korea with over 100 coastline artillery rounds on the western coast of Yeonpyeong island. The bomb shelling set fire to thousands of houses of fishermen and marine bases leaving them to flea for their lives. Two Korean marines have been declared dead. North Korea has made false accusations saying South Korea fired first. However after the North Korean attack South Korea immediately counter the attack with 80 self propelled artillery shells, which lasted for an hour.

This is the first official attack exchanged by Korean nations since the Korean War which ended in July 27, 1953 with an armistice. An armistice is when both conflicting side agree to stop fighting. However, the war is not officially over.  In my last post I talked about the START treaty and what it meant to the world and how unstable the world’s nations are. With one bad move the whole world would go in to chaos.

The North Korean attacks could be that one incident. The South Korean President, Lee Myung-bak has all military units placed on high alert.  North Korea has threaten the South with more attacks if the cross sea borders by 0.001 mm. the last sea skirmishes was in march when North Korea open fire on Southern ships killing 46 South Korean sailors.

North Korea attacking the South was foolish (or whoever attacked first). 

If peace is not made in North and South Korean the attacks might led to a bigger war. Though this conflict is dangerous most nations are not willing just to go to war. China and Russia siding with the North and America, Japan and India siding with the south is not a good mix. Most really  do not want to go to war, Russia wanting to sign the START treaty will prohibit Russia and America from exchanging attacks. China wanting to be number one in the economy war will not be in their best interest.

If china does go to war they will force the hand of India. Basically when one war is started other will follow. Please post comments below
