Anyone want to summarize what the hell is going on?
A couple South Korean soldiers stepped on a landmine in the DMZ. SK blamed NK and started airing propaganda through their loudspeakers on the border towards NK. NK then fired a rocket at SK striking a mountainside. SK fired back. NK gave them a 48 hour ultimatum to turn off the speakers. which expires at 5 pm Korean time. (either 3 or 3:30 AM central time tonight depending if it is NK or SK time). NK also put their troops at a "quasi state of war" as of 5pm Friday (NK time). SK refuses to turn off the speakers, and the US backs them. NK requested an emergency security council meeting at the UN, they refused, including China. NK has placed short range Scud and medium-range Rodong missiles on the border and aimed them at 11 key targets in SK, according to SK and US surveillance, and "reviewed and approved the final attack operation". Now we wait.

SK has these loud speakers right on the DMZ pointed at NK. They give accurate weather reports, tell the NK soldiers when it will rain, etc., give national news, tell them stuff that NK censors, and they play Kpop. The NK soldiers dig that Kpop shite, like a lot...
well king crazy with NK finally has had enough of those loud arse speakers and has taken a few shots. He told sane Korea to take down those fricking speakers or crazy Korea is going all out and is gonna try blow up shite. 5PM sane Korea, or crazy Korea is gonna start shooting!
EDIT: Sane Korea soldiers got blowed up by a land mine too...

Since this continually happens, probably not, only takes one guy to frick up when tension is high though

I need some percentages here. 10%? 20% chance?

Things are different this time around than before when Un's dad was in control.
Posted on 8/21/15 at 8:59 pm to rmnldr
you can't put percentages on crazy. Crazy could be like, "haha you so funny" or "I'm gonna bite you in the face!"
Crazy Korea doesn't have much to lose so who knows.

Posted on 8/21/15 at 9:11 pm to touchdownjeebus
Well frick. Hopefully they calm the hell down.

NK has to keep their population in an uproar. Any population living in the conditions they live in must be distracted. If the population is allowed too time to reflect on their misery they will revolt. NK has to have a bogey man knocking on the door at all times.

With how much control they have, they can do that without the public display they are putting on... i still don't think they're faking it this time but we'll see. I think either they will fire a small missile towards SK or in the Sea of Japan, and SK will take it as an act of provocation and retaliate, or NK will go full scale batshit crazy into SK.

Yonhap is reporting that the DPRK has moved towed artillery into position for the planned attack on the loudspeakers.
Posted on 8/21/15 at 9:41 pm to Burhead
they are gonna blow up those speakers, I have 0 doubt in that. I don't know how SK is going to react...
Posted on 8/21/15 at 9:43 pm to Oyster
What's the chances that there's a preemptive strike on NK's artillery?
